Felix was always up to no good, and Benjamin was constantly trying to stay out of trouble. One sunny morning, Benjamin was enjoying a stroll through the forest, picking some delicious berries. Suddenly, Felix appeared out of nowhere, with a wicked grin on his face. "Hello, Benjamin. What are you up to today?" asked Felix. "I'm just picking some berries for breakfast," replied Benjamin. "Mind if I join you?" asked Felix, eyeing the basket of berries. Benjamin hesitated, but didn't want to upset Felix. So, he allowed him to join him. As they were enjoying their breakfast, Felix started to get an evil idea. "How about we play a game?" said Felix, with a mischievous grin. "What kind of game?" asked Benjamin, suspiciously. "A game of hide and seek," said Felix, rubbing his paws together. Benjamin knew that this was

One day, while out in the woods, She heard a noise that didn't sound good, She followed the sound and found a beast, A ffire-breathing dragon looking for a feast. The dragon growled and showed his teeth, And poor Lily could barely breathe, But she remembered stories her grandma told, Of brave knights who were brave and bold.

The fairy begged Lily to find the potion and bring it back, For she was the only one brave enough to face the dragon's attack.

Lily set off, with her heart full of hope, And soon she came to the edge of a steep slope. She had to cross a raging river, so deep and wide, And for a moment, she was filled with doubt inside
