Once upon a time, in a small village nestled at the base of a great mountain, there was a farm. The farm was surrounded by lush fields and a sparkling river flowed nearby.

One day, a young boy named Jack decided to explore the forest that covered the mountain. He set out on a winding path that led him through the trees and over a babbling brook. As he walked deeper into the forest, he heard the sound of rushing water growing louder.

Finally, he came upon a beautiful waterfall cascading down the mountain. The water was so clear that he could see fish swimming in the pool at the bottom. Jack couldn't believe his eyes, he had never seen anything so beautiful before. He sat down on a rock to take in the view.

As he sat there, he noticed a path leading away from the waterfall and into the forest. He followed the path, eager to see where it would lead him. The path took him to a field filled with wildflowers and a small pond. The pond was fed by a stream that flowed from the waterfall.

As Jack walked back to the village, he knew that he would never forget the beautiful waterfall and the hidden field in the forest. He couldn't wait to come back and explore more of the mountain.

The end.
