Once upon a time, there was a pale little boy named Tim. He liked to play outside in the sun. One day, he went for a walk in the woods near his home.
As Tim walked, he saw some ash on the ground. He thought it was strange, but he kept going. He took a big step over the ash and kept walking. The woods were very quiet, and Tim felt a little scared.
Soon, the sky began to get dark. Tim knew he had to go home, but he was lost. He tried to find his way back, but he couldn't. Tim started to cry. He sat down on the ground and waited for someone to find him. But no one came. The woods got darker and darker, and Tim was all alone.
