In a small mountain village in northern Thailand, there lived a boy named Chatri. He loved his village, but it was now covered in a thick blanket of air pollution.
One sunny afternoon, Chatri decided to take a walk in the forest. He hoped to find some fresh air among the tall, tall trees.
As he wandered deeper and deeper, Chatri suddenly realized he was lost. 'Oh no!' he exclaimed, 'Where am I?'
Just then, he saw something very strange. A corn plant and a rice plant were whispering secrets to each other. 'Hello there!' said Chatri.
'Hello, friend!' said the Corn, with a chuckle. 'Welcome to our magical land!' added the Rice, with a twinkle in its eye.
Chatri was amazed. He had never seen talking plants before. He felt a warm feeling of joy spreading in his heart.
Suddenly, a shimmering light appeared, and a beautiful woman with wings floated down. 'I am the Angel of the Forest. You are safe here,' she said kindly.
'Thank you,' said Chatri. He looked around and noticed the air was fresh and clean. 'I like this place very much,' he thought.
He made friends with a herd of animals, who could also talk! They ran and played together, laughing all the way.
One day, Chatri asked the Angel, 'Can you help me save my village from air pollution?' She smiled and said, 'Of course. Follow me.'
Together, they collected magical seeds that could clean the air. 'These will help your village,' the Angel explained.
Chatri returned to his village with the magical seeds. He planted them everywhere he could. Slowly but surely, the air began to clear.
The villagers were overjoyed. Chatri had saved them all! They celebrated with a big feast, and the air was fresh and clean once again.
Chatri never forgot his magical adventure in the forest. And he knew, whenever he needed help, his magical friends would be there.
