The Old Woman in the Woods – Let’s Read

Once upon a time, in a village surrounded by a great and mysterious forest, there lived an old woman deep within the woods.

The villagers seldom ventured into the forest, for they believed it was enchanted and home to strange creatures. In the heart of this forest stood a tiny, moss-covered cottage, where the old woman, named Elara, resided.

Elara was not an ordinary old woman. She was known by the few who had met her as the protector of the forest. Animals flocked to her, and the trees seemed to whisper secrets to her alone.

Though kind and wise, she preferred her solitude and was rarely seen by the villagers.

One day, a young girl named Isabelle, curious and adventurous, wandered too far into the woods while chasing a butterfly.

The deeper she went, the darker and more tangled the forest became, until finally, she realized she was lost. As the sun began to set, fear crept over Isabelle, and she tried to retrace her steps, but every path seemed unfamiliar.

Just as she began to cry, a gentle voice echoed through the trees. “Child do not be afraid,” it said. Isabelle looked up to see a kindly old woman with silver hair standing nearby.

The woman’s eyes were soft and wise, her hands steady as she held a lantern that glowed warmly in the dim light. It was Elara.

“Come, follow me,” Elara said, extending her hand. Isabelle, though wary at first, could feel the warmth and kindness radiating from the old woman and followed her without question.

Elara led Isabelle through a hidden path in the woods that seemed to open up magically before them. The trees, which had once seemed foreboding, now felt protective, and birds chirped cheerfully as they passed.

As they walked, Elara told Isabelle stories about the forest: how it was alive with ancient magic and that everything in it, from the smallest flower to the tallest tree, had a role in maintaining the balance of nature.

When they reached Elara’s cottage, Isabelle was in awe. The cottage was surrounded by the most beautiful garden she had ever seen.

It is covered with the flowers that glowed softly in the moonlight and animals resting peacefully nearby. Inside, Elara offered Isabelle a warm meal and a cozy bed by the fire.

The next morning, Elara gently woke Isabelle and said, “It is time to return home.” With a wave of her hand, the trees parted once more, revealing a clear path back to the village.

Before she left, Elara gave Isabelle a small, glowing flower and whispered, “Remember, the forest is not something to fear, but something to respect. It will always guide those who walk its paths with an open heart.”

Quote of the day

Sometimes, the greatest magic lies not in spells or potions, but in the wisdom shared by those who listen to the whispers of the forest.

Isabelle thanked the old woman and hurried home. When she arrived at the village, she excitedly told her family about the kind old woman in the woods and the wonders she had seen.

Though the villagers had long feared the forest, Isabelle’s tale spread far and wide, and people began to see the woods as a place of magic and wonder rather than fear.

At the End

As for Elara, she continued to live quietly in her enchanted forest, protecting it with her gentle magic and watching over those who dared to venture into its depths.

And every now and then, when the moon was full, the villagers would see a soft, glowing light deep within the woods and know that the old woman was watching over them too.
