Lila and Draco: A Tale of Friendship and Courage

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lila, who lived in a village near a forest. Lila loved to explore the forest and look for animals and plants.

One day, as Lila was roaming around in the forest, she heard a loud roar coming from edge of the forest. Lila got scared at first, but soon became curious, so she decided to be brave and find out who was making the the loud roars. Lila followed the sound and soon found herself at the entrance of a big cave.

Lila felt scared again, but she knew she had to help the creature making those roars, as they sounded very painful. So, Lila decided to enter the cave and saw a huge dragon lying on the ground. It was wounded and bleeding. It looked at her with sad, teary eyes and said, "Please, help me."

Lila was still scared but in her heart she found the courage to approach the dragon -  "What happened to you?", she asked the dragon.

The dragon said, "I was flying in the sky, looking for some berries to eat, when a group of hunters shot me with arrows. I managed to escape, but I'm too weak to fly or heal myself."

Lila felt sorry for the dragon. She said, "That's awful. How can I help you?"

The dragon said, "Can you remove the arrows from my wings and apply some herbs to my wounds. There are some herbs in the cave that can heal me."

Lila agreed and started to help the dragon. She carefully pulled out the arrows and applied the herbs. The dragon thanked her and said, "You're very brave and kind. What's your name?"

Lila said, "My name is Lila. What's yours?"

The dragon said, "My name is Draco. You're the first human who ever helped me. Most humans are afraid of me or want to hurt me."

Lila said, "That's not fair. You're not dangerous, You're just different."

Draco said, "You're right. We're both different, but we're also alike. We both love nature and freedom."

Lila smiled and said, "Yes, we do. Maybe we can be friends."

Draco smiled back and said, "Yes, we can be friends."

They hugged and became friends and decided to protect each other and other creatures in the forest from the hunters. Draco and Lila had many adventures together and learned that by being brave and kind, everyone could find love and friendship.
