Sir Bravesalot is a gentle knight. He wears shining silver armor and a bright blue cape. He walks slowly under tall green trees in the Enchanted Forest. Tiny birds chirp above his head. Soft moss covers the ground. He smiles at every flower and leaf. Sir Bravesalot has a small map in one hand. In the other hand he holds a wooden staff. He carries no heavy sword today. He wants only to help a friend. His friend Mouse is tiny and soft. Mouse has round black eyes and a long tail. Mouse is playful and loyal. Mouse runs beside Sir Bravesalot and squeaks a happy tune. Mouse loves that tune. Together they walk along a winding path. Today they have a special quest. Mouse lost a precious piece of cheese. The cheese is small, yellow, and crumbly. Without it Mouse feels sad and cold. Sir Bravesalot wants to find it. They search near a bubbling blue stream. Sir Bravesalot listens to the water song. Mouse sniffles near a smooth gray stone. No cheese there. They look under bright red mushrooms. They look behind tall purple flowers. They look on top of fallen sticks. They look in a hollow log. Still no cheese. Mouse’s eyes fill with tears. Sir Bravesalot scoops Mouse onto his shoulder. He whispers, Do not worry. We will find it. They step into a sunny clearing. There an old Ogre stomps and grumbles. The Ogre is big and green. His roar shakes small twigs. Mouse trembles with fear. Sir Bravesalot stands firm and tall. He holds his hand out. He says kindly, Mr Ogre, have you seen a small piece of cheese? The Ogre blinks his round yellow eyes. He checks his large pocket. He grumbles again, Cheese? I found a crumb yesterday. I meant to eat it but I have eaten too much. He pats his round belly. He sighs. He reaches into his pocket slowly. He pulls out one small crumb. It is the cheese chunk! Mouse squeaks with delight. Sir Bravesalot thanks the Ogre. The Ogre smiles a shy grin. Sir Bravesalot gives the cheese back to Mouse. Mouse nibbles a small bite. He shares the rest with Sir Bravesalot, who smiles and tastes a tiny piece. It is warm and soft and sweet. Sir Bravesalot and Mouse clap their hands and paws. They cheer in the sunny clearing. The birds sing a joyful song. The trees sway gently. At the end of the day, Sir Bravesalot and Mouse sit together under a glowing pink sky. They feel happy and safe. Mouse holds the cheese close. Sir Bravesalot pats Mouse softly. They have learned the power of kindness and courage. They have made a new friend in the Ogre. And they know that together they can find anything they lose. Now it is time to go home. They walk hand in paw back through the soft forest path. They dream of new quests tomorrow. The forest glows under moonlight.
