Between the forests, there was a place with minimal sunlight. In that dim space, stood a lonely hut — where a woodcutter lived, deep in the darkness of the forest.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PY4GTYVDE
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPNj11fyb0
He had no desires, except one: he longed to see what lay beyond the forest.
He wished to go beyond the darkness and feel the warmth of the sun.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvb0mVIyZs
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWz5g7ZRDx
He was curious about the world — what it looked like beyond the trees.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY5dJqrVHd
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lRRSLTI4i
He lived in a place where trees fell and grew again, but he didn’t know how to move beyond what he had always known.
One day, a witch appeared in his hut. She laughed gently and said she was a good witch.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq604zbcDl
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtATslSoXkM
The woodcutter was shocked — he had never seen anyone like her.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFegGALjwm
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvykLmgbrv
Full of fear, confusion, and wonder, he asked:39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYYklDsdqN
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nkYXh1cPw
"Why are you here? Do you want to kill me? I didn’t do anything."
She replied kindly,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzzcZcitGN
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWCNJAL7tJ
"My boy, I am a good witch. Don’t be afraid. I’ve come to show you the vast world.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv2Ba2gNYy
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzAuXRV4OX
Do you know how big it is? The sun, the warmth you want to feel — I can take you there.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zHsRuDPaP
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQhtFJYDmm
Do you know what lies beyond this forest?"
"I don’t know," he said, "Is there really a beautiful world like that?"
She smiled.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J1VlRXgzV
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08hUzKFReb
"Yes, my boy. A world more beautiful and better than the one where you live."
He felt hope rise in him. Curious and excited, he asked,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqIYz6VJ4v
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkyX5LUh6S
"How can I go beyond this forest?"
She answered,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfEadivBwB
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppMZIlW8b3
"I can take you there, my boy. But you need to sacrifice something."
Just then, another witch appeared — claiming she too was a good witch.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN5Ht8HpJp
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkZsfmIRlp
The two began to argue about who the real good witch was.
The second witch said,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFv3zz3NYk
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKTxV62jXL
"You shouldn’t go anywhere. It’s not the right time.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXUyD1HArI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomxx1Tgn6k
I’m here to protect you from her.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALFdmcUX26
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUHc7AnF3j
You are not ready for the world outside.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBHodWM5IW
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLdK6lP9hE
If you go now, you may not survive. You need to prepare.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG3i0bShJv
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsuqYcd95c
Once you're capable, you’ll reach the outside without sacrificing anything."
The first witch responded,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEaA9Rbnpo
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK1uZOASJx
"If you never go outside, how will you know?39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C3Rv3fX5I
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaTGNuiKCg
You need to face it to conquer it. You only need to sacrifice your stillness."
The second witch protested,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8HIilUYKf
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b766AtdzD
"She’s trying to take away your comfort. Then what?"
The woodcutter hesitated.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OL9cVeyQB
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIQCEeXXD9
If I go outside and face danger, he thought, I won’t be able to return to this quiet life.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFldSUgW4QS
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffoTPkAZ94
Maybe I should prepare first...
The second witch reassured him,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC2cQLXiIG
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGUQNDdz3e
"I’ll help you become capable of facing the world."
So, he listened to her. He prepared, trained, learned.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoMEI3SPsI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgMzxggE5V
But every time he thought he was ready, she would say,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6pxrDcXN8
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnJFLrwcp5
"Just a little more."
And with each delay, he lost a little more confidence —39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aDqG4H8BK
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqRV3bDkoi
Until one day, he didn’t believe he could ever go.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlQsl4XP0p
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ZR25GA9V
He became restless, stressed, and heavy with pressure.
Then one day, the first witch appeared again.
She said,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lRBUIT80D
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijISztV8Sq
"If you want to look beyond, you must sacrifice your stillness.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuswC182kxb
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdy8xBY78C
With that, you can achieve anything."
But he had already lost hope.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3kay3hk9m
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdouFP6KQdk
He no longer believed he could do anything.
The first witch gently said,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc9q05YBuA
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BODNLBEJr
"If you stay afraid, you never will.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Ie6bUuqI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukvhwmQz75
But one step — just one step — can give you the feeling of wholeness."
He took her advice.
With shaky confidence, he stepped forward.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIDeJ1ISkg
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW8EjzS1ba
And that first step gave him strength to take another.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENTgNOMw3n
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbmhzsT8yy
He crossed the entire jungle — and finally, he felt the warmth of the sun.
He had only taken his first step,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F9kHiotbS
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Oqgb8j4W
But already, he was confident.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKTrnUw0iX
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxJBbbQfk3
He was ready to take more.
