The Dark Forest

My name is Vaibhav. Once upon a time, I was with my parents in the forest. It was situated in the Western Ghats it was a deep dark and charming place. It was full of animals and birds. It had small plants to the biggest trees. It had many lakes and rivers and even hills and mountains nearby but no one was there it was fully empty. I saw many elephants. It was 6 pm and cold my dad and mom set out to bring firewoods. It had been a long time and they did not return so I set out to search for them.

I was searching and searching after some time I realised that I was lost! I was very scared but I did not lose hope. I went on searching for my parents. On the way, I saw a large and deep river. It was shining in the moonlight. I decided to camp there. I had a tent, water bottle, torch. I went into the tent. It was 12:00 in the morning I heard a deafening sound with a stinky smell. After some time it was normal again. I went to sleep. The next morning I crossed the river by swimming and set out to bring firewood. On the way a furious lion chased me. I somehow managed to climb a coconut tree and after some time the lion went away. I got down from the tree and saw a firewood tree nearby. I cut the tree and started returning it was night time and it was dark. The moon was not there today because of clouds and by mistake, I went into the bear cave. I slept near the bear in the morning I was astonished and ran out of the cave immediately. The bear woke up and I pretended to be dead. I held my breath and lay down the bear sniffed and thought I was dead. So it went away. I returned to my tent.

The next morning I was searching for a way to get out. I was hungry. I ate small fruits found in the forest. Suddenly I heard a large sound, someone was calling me. I gave signals using fire but slowly the sound started to decrease. Then I started to run I found some footsteps next to a log I followed them slowly I heard the footsteps of my parents. Closer and closer, at last, I saw my parents! I was happy. I called them. They saw me and ran to me. I hugged them and went back home.
