Once upon a time, in the magical forest, four friends - Ellie the elephant, Sam the squirrel, Tina the turtle, and Ollie the owl - set off on a journey to find a hidden treasure.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, they came across a sparkling river. Tina remembered the riddle she had heard - 'To find the treasure, follow the river's shimmer.'

Following the shimmering river, they reached a sunlit clearing where they spotted a big, old tree. Ollie, with his keen eyes, noticed a carving on the tree that read, 'The treasure lies in the shadow of the giant tree.'

Excited, they hurried to the shadow of the giant tree. Ellie used her strong trunk to dig, and soon they found a chest full of shiny gems and colorful beads! The friends cheered and danced in joy.

As they headed back home, they knew that their friendship and teamwork had made the adventure truly amazing. With the treasure, they could all make beautiful necklaces and keep a piece of their wonderful journey forever.
