The Little Lantern in the Dark Forest

Once upon a time, in a dark forest, there was a small light that shone brightly in the distance. It was far away, but it was the only light that could be seen in the dark forest.

A little girl named Sarah was walking through the forest and she saw the light. She was curious and wanted to know where it came from, so she began to walk towards it. As she got closer, the light became brighter and brighter.

Finally, Sarah reached the light and she saw that it was a lantern. The lantern was hanging from a tree and it was the only source of light in the dark forest. Sarah was very happy to have found the lantern because it was near and she was no longer afraid of the dark.

As Sarah looked around, she noticed that the forest was very high and the trees were very tall. She also noticed that the ground was low and that it was covered with fallen leaves.

Sarah looked at the lantern and saw that it was empty. She wondered how she could make it light up again. Then she saw a small box nearby and when she opened it, she found matches inside. She lit the match and put it in the lantern and the light came back on.

The lantern was full of light again, and the forest was no longer dark. Sarah was very happy and she felt safe with the light. She decided to take the lantern with her and walk back home.

As she walked home, she saw many animals in the forest. They were all happy to see the light and they followed Sarah home. When she got home, she put the lantern on the table and all the animals sat around it.

From that day on, Sarah always took the lantern with her when she went into the forest. She never felt afraid of the dark again, and all the animals were happy to have the light.

The end.
