In a small village in India, there lived a little boy named Raju. Raju was a very timid child and was always afraid of the dark and mysterious forest around the village. The elders in the village often talked about all kinds of unknown dangers in the forest, which made Raju even more afraid to get close.
One day, Raju found a strange walking stick in the corner of the village. The walking stick looked ordinary, but when Raju held it, he felt a warm force spreading throughout his body. Raju realized that this might be a magic walking stick, and suddenly a courage he had never had before welled up in his heart.
Raju decided to enter the forest with this magic walking stick. He walked carefully, and the walking stick seemed to light up the road ahead for him. As he walked, he heard a low growl, which scared him so much that he almost turned around and ran away. But when he gripped the walking stick tightly, his courage returned. He continued forward and found that it was a little wolf trapped in a trap. When the little wolf saw Raju, its eyes were full of fear and vigilance.
Raju gently touched the trap with the walking stick, and something amazing happened. The ropes of the trap loosened automatically. The little wolf jumped out of the trap. It didn't attack Raju but ran around him a few times as if to show its gratitude.
Raju and the little wolf became friends, and they explored the forest together. The little wolf led Raju to a hidden waterfall. There was a clear pool under the waterfall. The water in the pool flickered with a strange light as if it held some secrets. Raju gently touched the pool with the walking stick, and suddenly a beautiful elf appeared in the pool.
The elf told Raju that this walking stick was left by the guardian of the forest and it could bring courage and strength to its owner to protect the creatures in the forest. Raju felt very honored and decided to use the power of this walking stick to protect this forest.
Since then, Raju was no longer that timid boy. He, together with the animals in the forest, protected this beautiful forest. And that magic walking stick always accompanied him, giving him support whenever he needed courage and strength.
