Reading - The Mysterious Forest

 


Once upon a time, in a small village surrounded by mountains, there was a young girl named Emma. One sunny morning, she decided to explore the forest behind her house. She had always been curious about those tall, whispering trees she could see from her window.


As she entered the forest, Emma saw a beautiful butterfly. "Look at this," she said to herself, "I've never seen such vibrant colors before!" She followed the butterfly deeper into the woods.


After a while, Emma stumbled upon an old, abandoned cottage. "What is that?" she wondered aloud. The cottage looked like it had been there for centuries, with ivy creeping up the walls and moss covering the roof. She felt an odd sensation, like this place held many secrets.


Curious, Emma pushed open the creaky door. Inside, she found a dusty old book on a wooden table. "I wonder who lived in this cottage," she thought as she carefully picked up the book. The book was filled with stories and drawings of magical creatures and faraway lands. "These stories are amazing!" Emma exclaimed.


Suddenly, Emma heard a noise coming from outside. She peeked through the window and saw a group of deer grazing near the cottage. "I've never seen those deer before," she whispered. They seemed almost magical, like the ones in the stories.


Emma spent the rest of the afternoon reading the book and watching the deer. As the sun began to set, she realized it was time to head back home. She closed the book and put it back on the table. "I hope whoever finds this book next will enjoy it as much as I did," she said with a smile.


On her way back, Emma couldn't stop thinking about the mysterious cottage and the wonderful stories she had read. She knew this adventure was just the beginning of many more to come.


Now, read and share your answers to the following questions:

1. What do you think happened to the person who lived in the old cottage before Emma found it?


2. Can you describe the magical creatures or lands mentioned in the old book Emma discovered?


3. How do you imagine Emma's next adventure in the forest might unfold?


4. What other secrets or hidden objects do you think might be inside the mysterious cottage?


5. Why do you think the deer near the cottage seemed almost magical, and what might they symbolize in the story?

  1. My answers:

    1. The person who lived in the cottage might have been a mysterious figure, like a guardian of the forest. They could have left long ago, leaving behind the book as a way to pass on their knowledge. It's also possible that they disappeared under mysterious circumstances, perhaps venturing deeper into the magical lands.

    2. The book could describe lands filled with shimmering rivers, glowing trees, and skies that change color with every hour. The creatures might include gentle giants, tiny fairies, and mystical animals that can change shape. Each page of the book could reveal a new world.

    3. Emma’s next adventure might involve following clues from the book to find a hidden portal within the forest that leads to one of the magical lands described in the book. Perhaps she will meet other explorers, and together, they will unlock even greater mysteries.

    4. Inside the cottage, there might be more ancient books filled with spells or maps to hidden places in the forest. Maybe there's a hidden room or a secret passage that leads to an underground chamber where the true guardian of the forest resides.

    5. The deer might be magical creatures that act as protectors of the forest and the secrets it holds. Their appearance could symbolize the connection between nature and the mystical elements within the story. The deer could also be messengers, hinting that there’s more to the forest than meets the eye and encouraging Emma to continue her exploration.
