Once upon a time, there was a place called the Merry Forest , filled with lush green trees and the constant chirping of birds . The animals that lived in this forest helped each other and never left anyone alone.
The most beautiful-singing bird in the forest was Little Nightingale . Little Nightingale’s voice was so beautiful that when she sang, flowers would bloom, and even the wind would stop to listen. But Little Nightingale had a problem:
she was very curious and sometimes got lost.
One day, Little Nightingale decided to visit the Wise Turtle in the farthest corner of the forest . Flying along, he saw new places and chased after colorful butterflies. Then he realized…
he had lost his way!
Little Nightingale was very scared, not knowing which way to go. Just as he was about to cry, he saw a small, shining object on the ground. It was an old compass with letters on it .
When he picked up the compass, it spoke in a soft voice:
“Don’t be afraid, Little Nightingale. I can show you the right path. But when you use me, you must also listen to your heart.”
Little Nightingale was surprised but also very happy. He started flying in the direction the compass indicated. Along the way, he saw a squirrel in need of help. Little Nightingale stopped and helped it. The compass shone again.
A little later, it encountered a thirsty hedgehog and didn’t leave it alone either. This time, the compass shone even brighter.
Finally, Little Nightingale saw the familiar trees of the forest. He had returned home!
Wise Turtle greeted him at the door and smiled:
“That compass is actually the compass of your heart. You will find the right path by doing good deeds,” he said.
From that day on, wherever Little Nightingale went, he trusted not only the compass, but also
kindness, sharing, and what was right .
And in the Merry Forest, her beautiful voice always reminded the children:
“The right path is through a good heart.”
