Lucky to be alive

Stan

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lily. She lived in a small village on the edge of a vast forest, and she was known throughout the village for her bright smile and her kind heart.

Lily loved nothing more than exploring the forest, picking flowers and chasing butterflies. She would often spend hours wandering among the trees, marveling at the beauty of the natural world.

One day, as Lily was out exploring the forest, she came across a small, wounded bird. It had been injured in a hunter's trap, and was struggling to escape. Lily's heart went out to the poor creature, and she immediately set to work freeing it.

She managed to free the bird, and it flew off into the sky, free and thankful. Lily watched it go with a happy smile on her face.

But as she turned to head back home, she heard a loud crack and felt a sharp pain in her leg. She looked down to see that she had stepped on a hidden branch, and it had snapped, causing her to fall to the ground.

Lily tried to stand, but the pain was too much. She lay there, alone and helpless, as the sun began to set. She knew that she would never make it home before dark, and that no one would be able to find her in the dense forest.

As the night closed in around her, Lily began to cry. She was scared, and she missed her family. She knew that she might never see them again.

But despite her sadness, Lily never lost hope. She stayed strong, and eventually, she was found by a group of travelers who were passing through the forest. They took her home, and she was reunited with her loved ones.

Though she had been through a terrible ordeal, Lily knew that she was lucky to be alive. And she vowed to always be strong and never give up, no matter how difficult things became.
