In ancient China, a boy named Forrest and his friend Tom, stood at a cave's entrance. They'd heard tales of a mythical creature within. Armed with a lantern, they stepped into the darkness.

The cave narrowed until they faced a deep chasm. Tom gulped, but Forrest, gripping the lantern, leaped across fearlessly. Tom followed, landing safely.

They noticed a warm glow. Following it, they found a large chamber. In the center stood a magnificent dragon, shimmering with an ethereal glow.

The dragon stirred, its eyes meeting theirs. "Why do you seek me?" it asked. "We wanted to prove we were brave," Forrest replied.

The dragon smiled, "Bravery is about facing fear and continuing despite it." They listened, understanding. They thanked the dragon and promised to remember its wisdom.

Back in their village, they were greeted by friends. They didn't seek admiration but shared the wisdom they'd learnt.

Forrest and Tom's story became a tale of bravery and self-discovery. It reminded others that true courage lies within us, waiting to be discovered.
