The Treasure Thief.

The left path

With your small heart beating fast in your fuzzy chest, you scurry along the left path, your eyes shining with determination. This isn't just about having a tasty snack, it's about your great mission - stealing magic acorns from the troll's secret cave! Even as a scared squirrel, you never forget that. The forest around you proves beautiful and full of wonder, with shadows dancing on the leaves and dappled sunlight filtering down through a dense canopy of branches.

After a while, you spot water flashing through the thickets, and the quiet murmur of a peaceful river reaches your ears. Searching for the best way to continue, you pause at the sight before you: a sparkling river, pretty yet imposing. Its waters lap at the river bank invitingly. But the thought of what lurks unseen beneath its surface makes you hesistant. You always have two options: take the challenge head-on and swim across the fast flowing river or carefully stroll down the river bank, keeping close to the safety of the forest. You ponder this tricky situation, wondering, once again, why magic acorns can't just grow on trees like normal ones.
