The treasure of friendship

In a secluded corner of the forest, where the trees were so dense that hardly any sunlight penetrated, lived Sari, a small isopod. She was a curious little creature who loved to discover new things and explore her surroundings. One sunny day, as she was on her usual exploration of the forest, she came across something strange and exciting: a beautiful butterfly wing. Sari couldn’t help but be drawn to the beauty of the wing and decided to examine it more closely. But when she touched the wing, something incredible happened.

Sari had no idea what was happening to her. She felt a sudden, strong force that pulled her out of her usual forest environment. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a wondrous garden, surrounded by the most magnificent flowers and plants she had ever seen. There were colourful blossoms everywhere, releasing their scents into the air and captivating the little isopod. Sari hopped excitedly from one leaf to another and nibbled with relish from the delicious leaves. She could not stop marvelling at how varied and tasty the leaves in the garden were.

Suddenly she heard a small, frantic noise – it sounded like a call for help, as if someone was in distress. Without hesitation, Sari followed the sound and discovered a small bee caught in a spider’s web. The bee had become entangled in the threads and was unable to free itself. Sari realised that she now had an important task: she had to help the bee before it was too late.

Sari did not hesitate for a moment and began to carefully tear the web until the bee was finally free. Gratefully, the bee led Sari to her queen, who greeted her warmly and told her a mysterious story about a lost treasure hidden in the forest. Sari realised that this was the adventure she had been waiting for and decided to help the queen and her sister bees find the treasure.

Together with the bees, Sari set off through the forest and met many other creatures, including cheeky squirrels, curious birds and a friendly turtle. Each helped them in their own way and eventually they reached their destination: a secret cave where the treasure was hidden.

But when they opened it, they were surprised because the treasure was not gold or precious stones, but the butterfly wing that Sari had found at the beginning of her journey. The bees explained to her that the wing had a special meaning because it was a symbol of friendship between the creatures of the forest.

Sari was proud of herself and happy that she had helped her new friends find the treasure. The bees, squirrels, birds and the friendly turtle had now become part of her special community. She had learned a lot in this adventure: that it was important to help others, even if you had to risk something yourself. And that if you are brave and curious, you can always find friends and adventures.

Finally, Sari returned to her home in the forest. She knew that she would always find a safe haven here and that she now had friends in the other parts of the forest. She decided to continue to be curious and explore new places. For she knew that there was still so much to discover and that every adventure offered a new opportunity to grow and learn.
