Once upon a time, there were two best friends, Jack and Jill. They went everywhere together and did everything together, including going for a walk in the forest. Jack and Jill heard strange, frightening noises in the trees overhead, so they stopped to gawk.
"What could it be?", asked Jill.
"I don't know," Jack shrugged, looking around.
Suddenly, they heard a voice calling out: "Wait! Don't be frightened!"
Cautiously, they peered around and saw an old man holding out a small, wrapped gift in his hands. He smiled and said, "I have been waiting here in the forest for someone special — I think that you are the ones! Would you like this gift?"
Jill was still frightened, but Jack was curious. He stepped forward and accepted the gift, carefully unwrapping it. Inside the paper, he found a beautiful, golden locket.
They thanked the old man and carried the gift away their adventure. From that moment on, Jack and Jill were never scared of the forest again — and they each kept their golden locket close, as a reminder of their brave adventure that day.
