Daniels Story

Once upon a time in a big city where my father and I lived. One day, my dad told me that he had to go to another country for a few months because of work.

• Daniel, you're going to have to go to Bosque Escondido with Grandpa Luis, he told me.

• I do not want to leave home-I thought- How will I do my homework? There is no internet there!

• Don't exaggerate, you can distract yourself for a while, and I've also been told that the local forest is enchanted and it has a secret-he told me.

• A secret in the forest? I do not think so! – I said – but it caught my attention.

The next day my father and I went to Bosque Escondido, arriving in the afternoon where my grandfather received us. 

Full of sadness, I said goodbye to my dad since I knew that those days were going to be boring.

The days passed.

One afternoon, when I was looking out at the window I saw a group of butterflies pass by, there were so many that it made me curious and I remembered what my father had told me about the enchanted forest. I ran out of the house to follow them, but when I realized they had led me deep into the forest……!!!!

Suddenly I realized that I was lost and didn't know how to get back!!

It was getting dark and I felt more worried about how to get back and find my grandfather's house.

I remembered about the enchanted forest and thought:

• If you're really enchanted, please that my grandfather can find me- I said out loud.

 

After 5 minutes I saw my grandfather Luis who had come looking for me with his flashlight!!!

I gave him a big hug and he led me back to the house.

 

From that moment I understood the care we must have when I walk into a forest and to not underestimate the power of nature.
