Tilly was a brave little girl. One sunny day, she waved at her friends and said, "Let’s go on an adventure!" They all cheered, ready to explore. Tilly had a map with a big red ‘X’ marked on it. "I think we’ll find treasure!" she exclaimed.
They walked through the green grass and colorful flowers. Suddenly, they found a huge, old tree. It was tall and had lots of funny faces in its bark. Tilly giggled, "Look at those silly trees!" Then, to her surprise, the tree spoke, "Hello, young adventurers!"
The friends were amazed! "Did you hear that?" shouted Tilly. "The tree can talk!" The tree smiled and said, "I guard the treasure you seek, but first, you must answer my riddle!" Tilly and her friends nodded excitedly.
The tree continued, "I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?" Tilly thought very hard. "I know! It's an echo!" she shouted, her eyes sparkling.
“Correct!” cheered the tree, its branches swaying. "You may pass!" The ground shook, and a secret path opened up. Tilly and her friends clapped their hands. They ran down the path, eager to see what lay ahead.
As they went further, they found a sparkling river. The water was clear and blue. Tilly dipped her toes and laughed, “This is so cool!” Fish jumped and splashed around, making the adventure even more fun!
Soon, they reached a big cave that glittered in the sunlight. Tilly took a deep breath and said, "Let’s see what's inside!" They walked in slowly, hearts beating fast. The cave felt like a magical world.
Inside the cave, they saw shiny jewels and golden coins! Tilly gasped, "This is treasure!“ They filled their bags, but Tilly wanted to share with others. She said, "Let’s bring some back for everyone!"
Excitedly, they headed back out, where the tree waited. “Congratulations!” said the tree. “You showed kindness. The real treasure is sharing!” Tilly smiled, realizing it was true.
With their treasure and happy hearts, Tilly and her friends thanked the tree. They ran home, dreaming of new adventures and exciting tales to share.
