    In a dense forest, lived a lively, spirited squirrel named Oliver. The forest was his playground, and he was loved by all its inhabitants. One day, while playing, he fell into a deep, hidden hole.

    Oliver tried to climb up the steep walls of the hole, but they were too slippery. He was frightened, but he knew he had to find a way out.

    From the darkness above, he heard the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves. It reminded him of his freedom, motivating him to escape.

    Suddenly, Oliver noticed a small tunnel at the base of the hole. It was narrow, but he was small enough to fit through.

    With a newfound hope, Oliver squeezed himself through the tunnel. It was dark and damp, but he was determined to see the light again.
