Chapter 3: The Three Tests
First Test – Courage
The deer led them to a dark cave. Inside the cave, they could hear bats flying and strange echoes.
Even though they were scared, the three friends walked forward together and finally reached the other side.
"You have passed the test of courage," said the deer.
Second Test – Wisdom
Next, they arrived at a large stone door. A riddle was written on it:
"What can be broken without making a sound?"
Mira thought carefully and then smiled.
"The answer is silence."
Immediately, the stone door slowly opened.
Third Test – Friendship
Finally, they reached a narrow bridge over a deep valley.
The bridge was weak and shaky. It would only stay strong if they crossed together.
The three friends held hands and carefully walked across the bridge.
"You have passed the final test," the deer said proudly.
