Lena was always curious about the old house at the end of Maple Street. The house had broken windows and peeling paint, and no one had lived there for years. But what fascinated Lena the most was the overgrown garden around it.

In a small village nestled between two mountains, there lived a young boy named Sam. Sam loved to explore the woods near his home, where he would climb trees, collect rocks, and watch the animals. One day, while wandering deeper into the forest than he ever had before, Sam stumbled upon a tiny, injured bird lying on the ground.
