Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, three brave friends set out to discover hidden treasure. Mia, a smart and curious girl with hair like sunshine, led the way. Ben, a strong and kind boy with a warm heart, carried the map. And Lily, a playful and clever girl, brought her magic wand for any sticky situation.

Through twisty trees and nimble knolls, they trekked with determination. The forest whispered secrets, leaves rustling like nature's own lullaby. 'Swish, swash, swoosh,' went the stream as it glistened under the golden sun.

'Look,' said Mia, pointing at a distant castle. It stood tall like a giant, its walls ancient and vines sprouting like dragon scales. 'That's where the treasure is!'

As they neared the castle, a mighty roar echoed through the air. 'ROAR!' The sound shook the ground and flustered the birds. 'It's the dragon,' whispered Ben.

The friends huddled together, but their courage did not falter. They pushed open the creaky castle doors. 'Creeeeak,' went the door.

Inside, they encountered riddle-speaking ravens who cawed, 'Answer truthfully and pass. Tell tales, and remain.' The friends agreed: to always speak true.

They answered riddles, one, two, three, each time with honesty and glee. The ravens nodded and flapped away. 'You may pass,' they said, keeping their promise.

Next, they entered a room full of shimmering mirrors. Each reflection spoke, 'Be true in heart, and fear not the dark.' They held hands, and their real selves showed.

A final door, big and bold, stood before them with golden locks. Using the truth like a key, they unlocked the door with glee. The treasure chamber glittered ahead.

Inside the treasure chamber, a dragon lay! But it wasn’t fierce; it was friendly and wise. The friends explained their quest honestly. The dragon smiled and said, 'Well done, my honest heroes. The treasure is yours.'
