    Long ago, in a small village, there lived two best friends, Krish and Deva. They were known for their adventurous spirit and the bond they shared. One day, while playing near their houses, Krish heard a strange sound. It sounded like a child crying, and it was coming from the nearby forest.

    Driven by curiosity and concern, Krish shared the strange sound with Deva. Deva, being the more fearless of the two, decided they should go and investigate. Despite his initial fear, Krish agreed, and the two friends set off towards the forest.

    As they ventured deeper into the forest, the crying sounds became more distinct. They carefully followed the sound, keeping their eyes and ears open for any sign of danger. After a long walk, they reached the heart of the forest.

    Suddenly, a huge lion jumped out from behind the bushes. The sight of the massive creature took the boys by surprise. But the lion was no ordinary one. It was a magical creature that could mimic sounds to lure its prey.

    The boys realized they had fallen into the lion's trap. However, instead of panicking, they decided to teach the lion a lesson. Deva, with his fearless spirit, decided to distract the lion while Krish started to devise a plan.

    Deva started to taunt the lion, making it chase him around the forest. Meanwhile, Krish began to construct a trap using tree roots and trunks. He was quick and careful, ensuring that the trap was well hidden.

    After a while, Deva led the lion back towards Krish. The lion, focused on catching Deva, failed to notice the trap and fell into it. The lion roared in anger and frustration, but it was too late.

    Krish and Deva celebrated their victory. They had successfully outsmarted the magical lion and taught it a valuable lesson. However, they also learned an important lesson themselves - never to venture into the forest without an adult.

    From that day on, the story of their bravery and intelligence spread throughout their village. The magical lion, humbled by his defeat, never troubled the villagers again. And Krish and Deva? They remained the best of friends, always ready for their next adventure.
