Important lesson

...

LiLi was a curious duck who lived by a small lake. One day she heard from other birds that there was a place where the sun shines brighter, the water is bluer, and the food is tastier. Deciding to see this place with her own eyes, Lily set off on a journey, not knowing what trials awaited her.


At the first day of the journey, Lily met a turtle who was slowly crawling along the path. The turtle warned Lily not to rush, otherwise she might miss something important. But Lily ignored her words and quickly went on, thinking that speed would help her reach her goal faster.

Flying over the river, Lily did not notice the stones under the water and almost fell, hitting them. She was scared, but straightened up and thought that she still needed to be more careful. However, soon she was again seized by the desire to get to the beautiful place as quickly as possible.


The next day, Lily got lost in a dense forest where everything looked the same. Her wings were tired, and she realized that maybe it would be better to travel slower and more carefully. Then she remembered the turtle's words about not rushing.

When Lily finally found her way out of the forest, she met an old fox who told her that the most valuable thing in a journey is not the place, but what we learn along the way. The fox advised Lily to be more attentive to details and not to rush so as not to miss important moments.


Lily returned to her lake with a new understanding - she realized that the path itself was more valuable than the goal. She learned to look around and appreciate what surrounds her. Since then, Lily traveled slowly, enjoying every moment and everything she encountered on her way.
