One more breath, and we’re done.” Before Ellie Rae knew it, the piercing was finished. When they looked in the mirror, their pink daisy earrings sparkled just like they had imagined. “You did it, Ellie Rae! You were so brave!” Ellie Rae felt proud, excited to show their friends.

Armed with a wooden sword and a slingshot, they ventured into the dark forest. As they journeyed, they found a trapped squirrel and freed it. Grateful, the squirrel dropped a shiny acorn, which Siraj pocketed. Soon, they reached the monster’s cave. The enormous, scaly creature roared, “Who dares disturb me?” “We are Siraj and Junaid,” Siraj said bravely. “You’re hurting our village. Leave!” The monster laughed. “Solve my riddles, or be my dinner!” The first riddle was: “I am not alive, yet I grow. I don’t have lungs, yet I need air. What am I?” Siraj quickly answered, “Fire.” The second riddle: “The more of me you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?” Siraj replied, “Footsteps.” Angry, the monster gave the final riddle: “What has roots no one sees, is taller than trees, and never grows?” Junaid shouted, “A mountain!” The monster roared. “You win the riddles, but now you must fight!” It charged, claws swiping. Junaid dodged and struck with his wooden sword, distracting it. Siraj loaded the shiny acorn into his slingshot and aimed for its glowing eye. The shot hit, and the acorn sprouted into a magical tree, binding the monster. “Fine!” it roared. “I’ll leave your village!” With the monster gone, the river flowed again, and the villagers celebrated their young heroes. From that day on, Siraj and Junaid were known as the bravest friends in the land.
