Evie and Ari were thrilled because they were going camping with their parents. They helped set up two tents near a beautiful, large forest. The air was filled with the sound of chirping birds and the scent of pine trees. Evie and Ari had their butterfly catchers ready and were eager to explore. Their adventure was just beginning, and they could feel the excitement in the air.

The Exciting Camp Setup

Evie and Ari spotted a colorful butterfly and tried to catch it. But the butterfly fluttered away quickly and playfully. 'Let’s follow her!' Ari suggested with a laugh, and off they went. They giggled and ran, following the butterfly deeper into the forest. But soon, they realized they couldn’t see their camp anymore, and the tall trees surrounded them.

The Chase Begins

Evie and Ari tried to find their way back, but they couldn’t see the path. Suddenly, gray clouds gathered, and the wind began to blow. Raindrops started falling, and Evie felt cold and scared. Just then, a small, friendly bear showed up and offered them shelter. They ran into the bear’s cozy cave, feeling grateful to be safe and dry.

The Rainy Forest Surprise

Safe in the cave, they sipped hot chocolate while waiting for the rain to stop. The bear suggested his friend the eagle could help them find their way. The eagle flew them high above the forest so they could see their tents. 'I see our tents!' Evie shouted with joy, and the eagle landed them safely at camp. Their parents hugged them tightly, and Evie and Ari promised not to wander far again.

Evie and Ari were so excited—they were going camping with their parents! They set up two tents near a big, beautiful forest. 
Evie and Ari had butterfly catchers. But as soon as they tried to catch one, the butterfly fluttered away. “Let’s follow her!” Ari laughed. They ran after the butterfly, giggling, as it danced through the air. But suddenly, they found themselves deep inside the forest.
“Let’s go back,” Evie said. But when they turned around, all they saw were tall trees. “Oh no! I don’t know the way back! Where’s the path?”
 They started walking, but suddenly, the sky turned gray, and the wind began to blow. Then, little raindrops started falling.
“I want to go back to Mama!” Evie cried. “I’m cold and wet.”
They shouted Mom, dad, but the rain got stronger, and the sound of raindrops on the leaves was too loud—no one could hear them.
Just then, a small, friendly bear appeared. “Come inside my cave!” he said. “You’ll be safe and dry in there.”
Evie and Ari quickly ran into the bear’s cozy cave. They waited inside, drunk hot chocolate until the rain stopped and the sun came out again.
“How will we find our way back?” Ari wondered.
“I have an idea!” said the bear. “My friend the eagle can help!”
The eagle agreed. “Hop onto my back! From the sky, you’ll be able to see your tents, and I’ll fly you home.”
Evie and Ari climbed onto the eagle’s strong wings, and up they went! From high above, the trees looked tiny, and a soft breeze blew against their faces.
“There! I see our tents!” Evie cheered. “Please take us down!”
The eagle gently landed right next to their camping spot. “Thank you, eagle!” the kids said as they ran to their parents.
Mama and Dad hugged them tight. “We were so worried!” they said.
“We’re sorry,” Ari said. “We won’t go into the forest alone again!”
That night, under the twinkling stars, Evie and Ari snuggled up in their tent, feeling safe and happy.
