Maria lived near a forest. She often played
with the animals in the forest. They were all her friends. One day, Maria
walked into the forest to play with her animal friends. But to her surprise (令她惊讶的是), the forest
was very quiet and the animals weren't there!
Maria hurried back to tell her parents. Her
parents returned to the forest with Maria. The forest was still very quiet. But
Maria's father noticed a little monkey behind a big tree. The monkey was dying!
They tried to save it. But the monkey was too weak. Before it died, the monkey
told them the truth (真相): a ghost (魔鬼) wanted to get the forest, so
he asked all the animals to go away.
Maria and her parents were very angry. They
decided to drive the ghost away. They asked their friends and
neighbours to help them. The ghost was strong but the people were stronger. At
last, the ghost left and the animals returned to the forest happily.
