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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LS5UkYrHj
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPrwjyuuav
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbeCG0WOwh
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEPCdPEPjZ
He was curious about the world — what it looked like beyond the trees.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85cNizeKNc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3VFy0wfYg
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0OO3vVgQ9
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO97Yyx22Hb
The woodcutter was shocked — he had never seen anyone like her.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8dGXpoVwu
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqNWBd8yE2
Full of fear, confusion, and wonder, he asked:24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw775Iv6bH
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNXCGflQTd
"Why are you here? Do you want to kill me? I didn’t do anything."
She replied kindly,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWJtrZL1To
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZUvq2qFsA
"My boy, I am a good witch. Don’t be afraid. I’ve come to show you the vast world.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBenFeCnDK
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmutxb7jCq3
Do you know how big it is? The sun, the warmth you want to feel — I can take you there.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVFGYeTcwI
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgArIoagqLR
Do you know what lies beyond this forest?"
"I don’t know," he said, "Is there really a beautiful world like that?"
She smiled.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SLJ2pSnsG
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6X6puW0iL
"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,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpywhHU2Fsf
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWHiJw7bqj
"How can I go beyond this forest?"
She answered,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe2RpPMYa6
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsAe5PDO5q
"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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oMcxbewNR
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF9LabGvGL
The two began to argue about who the real good witch was.
The second witch said,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVDCbkRonw
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO9vRpiZuO
"You shouldn’t go anywhere. It’s not the right time.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZPVwxvMsB
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf4Zm652ys
I’m here to protect you from her.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rMwfQ667m
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR62Saz5xVm
You are not ready for the world outside.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhKG0hsSsp
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lADtehDEe
If you go now, you may not survive. You need to prepare.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwPuQ24v34
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuSmPnOnD3
Once you're capable, you’ll reach the outside without sacrificing anything."
The first witch responded,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFklCtI3zgA
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nwk7jGouw
"If you never go outside, how will you know?24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoi1NzOOJE
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c2Pg8uuEc
You need to face it to conquer it. You only need to sacrifice your stillness."
The second witch protested,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdztv1G7seU
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKE9TBP2yE
"She’s trying to take away your comfort. Then what?"
The woodcutter hesitated.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOQ2ngaltc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLUaLxi2b9
If I go outside and face danger, he thought, I won’t be able to return to this quiet life.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuWthhsWN5
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf8vq6jcDG
Maybe I should prepare first...
The second witch reassured him,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOg34yxtOL
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywh9nUbeg7
"I’ll help you become capable of facing the world."
So, he listened to her. He prepared, trained, learned.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxOBIJKTTx
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fymmpzR4n
But every time he thought he was ready, she would say,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz71bFXhfoH
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz3B8QmLQ6
"Just a little more."
And with each delay, he lost a little more confidence —24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe31Nc2Pj0A
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv6bsRVTQv
Until one day, he didn’t believe he could ever go.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWV0tDOew5
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SXuVxg8BX
He became restless, stressed, and heavy with pressure.
Then one day, the first witch appeared again.
She said,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmczUqReU4u
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dspK5UwoY
"If you want to look beyond, you must sacrifice your stillness.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWevxmr0Ex
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJlrse45uU
With that, you can achieve anything."
But he had already lost hope.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgQOWygwRs
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxaIJ7M9Of
He no longer believed he could do anything.
The first witch gently said,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiH35FTa8M
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlsPkFZGto
"If you stay afraid, you never will.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzvplCH6p1
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSeQUMpN3y
But one step — just one step — can give you the feeling of wholeness."
He took her advice.
With shaky confidence, he stepped forward.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbm7nZkVGv
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2bUERGBg9
And that first step gave him strength to take another.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAg3yK1QJp
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSa8qs0oyT
He crossed the entire jungle — and finally, he felt the warmth of the sun.
He had only taken his first step,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBn2lwVfdd
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKs9ePxvye
But already, he was confident.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa2gqSSpYQ
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3wSOqgkdm
He was ready to take more.
