Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who lived in a small village surrounded by magical forests. Lily loved to explore and dream of incredible adventures. One day, while walking through the forest, she heard a soft roar coming from a cave. Curious, she decided to investigate. Upon entering the cave, Lily was surprised to find a huge dragon, but with a gentle look. The dragon's name was Gus, and they soon became friends. Lily and Gus spent hours talking and sharing stories. The dragon explained that, although he was big and strong, he had a gentle heart and loved making friends. They decided to go out together through the forest and discover the secrets it held. Lily rode on Gus's back, and together they flew over tall trees and shimmering rivers. Each new adventure became more exciting, and Lily didn’t want the day to end. In the late afternoon, when the sun began to set, Lily knew it was time to go home. But before saying goodbye, Gus made a promise. He invited Lily to visit him whenever she wanted and assured her that they would have many more adventures together. Lily smiled, full of joy, and promised to return the next spring. As she walked back home, Lily's heart was full of happiness and new stories to tell.
