The little girl found herself lost in the vast forest. Her small voice echoed as she cried out for help, but no one was around to hear.

Suddenly, a large lion emerged from the shadows. The little girl was terrified and started running away from the beast.

In her haste, she stumbled upon a cave. She quickly hid inside, hoping the lion wouldn't notice.

The lion approached the cave, sniffing the air. It seemed to sense her presence, but it did not venture inside.

She watched in terror as the lion prowled outside, her heart pounded in her chest. She knew she had to think of a way to escape.

The little girl started exploring the cave. She found a pile of rocks and an idea sparked in her mind.

She started throwing the rocks outside the cave, far away from the entrance. The lion, curious, followed the sound of the rocks.

With the lion distracted, she seized the opportunity and ran in the opposite direction, towards the pathway she remembered.

She ran as fast as her small legs could carry her. The familiar pathway gave her hope and courage.

Behind her, the lion gave a mighty roar. But it did not follow her. It seemed to have lost interest.

The little girl finally reached the village. The villagers saw her and rushed to her aid, overjoyed at her safe return.

That night, the little girl slept soundly in her bed, surrounded by her relieved family. Her adventure in the forest had taught her the importance of courage and quick thinking.
