Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to travel and explore new places, but she had never been to a place as inhospitable as the mountain she was about to climb.

Lily had to acclimate to the high altitude, as the air was thin and it was difficult to breathe. She was determined to reach the top, so she packed her backpack with supplies and hired a porter to help her along the way.

However, when they reached a certain altitude, Lily started to feel sick. Her legs swelled up, a condition known as edema, and she couldn't continue. The porter suggested they go back down, but Lily was determined to reach the top.

So, the porter helped her find a cure for the edema and they continued their journey. They faced many challenges along the way, but with determination and help from each other, they finally reached the top of the mountain.

Lily was proud of herself for facing her fears and never giving up. She learned that sometimes the greatest adventures can happen when we step out of our comfort zone and push ourselves to do the things we never thought we could.

From that day on, Lily never hesitated to explore new and inhospitable places, for she knew that with determination and a little help, she could conquer any challenge.
