Would you like to hear a tale
Of a young guest who set out on a trail
Invited to a party grand
With music, cake, and toys at hand

But before the fun could start
The guest found themselves in a part
Of the woods that felt so strange
And soon realized they had to change

Their plans of going to the party
For now they had to be hearty
And escape the danger they faced
Using all their wits and grace

They had to trust their instincts true
And find a way out, and so they knew
To outsmart the creatures that lurked
And fetch the tools they had tucked

In their backpack for such a need
As they ran and dodged with speed
And finally, after a while
They managed to escape the trial

And made it to the party at last
Feeling ashamed of their little past
But the host was kind and glad to see
Their guest, safe and sound and free

So remember, kids, when you're in doubt
And find yourself in a sticky route
Trust your wits and never forget
To outsmart the danger, and you'll be set!
