Benny, the little bat, lived in a cozy cave with his family. Every night, he loved flying through the dark sky, playing with his friends. But one evening, as he chased a firefly, he flew too far from home and got lost.
The forest looked different in the moonlight. Benny fluttered around, searching for familiar landmarks. Suddenly, he heard a soft hoot. It was Oliver, the wise old owl.
“Lost, little one?” Oliver asked.
Benny nodded. “I don’t know how to get back!”
Oliver smiled. “Follow the North Star; it always shines brightest. Trust your instincts, and you’ll find home.”
With new confidence, Benny soared through the sky, spotting familiar trees and caves. At last, he heard his mother’s voice calling.
“You did it, Benny!” she said, hugging him with her wings.
From that night on, Benny was no longer afraid of the unknown. He had learned to trust himself, knowing that even the darkest night could lead to a bright path home.
