**The Great Treasure Hunt** In a peaceful meadow lived three friends: Mimi the playful cat, Lulu the curious frog, and Didi the cheerful duck. One day near their favorite pond, Mimi found a weathered map. “It’s a treasure map!” she exclaimed. Excited, they decided to follow it. The map led them deep into the forest, where they faced challenges. First, they cleared a thorny bush blocking a cave entrance, with Mimi skillfully swiping the thorns away. Inside, glowing crystals lit their way until they reached a wide chasm. “We’ll build a bridge!” suggested Didi. Together, they stacked rocks, with Lulu positioning the heaviest ones. Soon, they crossed safely. At the cave's end, they found a chest. Expecting gold, they opened it to reveal an old book filled with stories and poems about friendship and adventures. “This isn’t treasure,” Lulu said. “Maybe it’s better,” Mimi replied. Didi smiled. “The real treasure was the journey—and our memories.” The friends returned home with the book, reading its stories daily and cherishing their adventure and their friendship. They learned the best treasures are found in the bonds they share.
