Once upon a time, in the beautiful island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, there was a little boy named Tomi. He loved to explore the lush jungle that surrounded his village, but one day, while chasing a colorful butterfly, he got lost.
Tomi walked and walked, but soon realized he had no idea where he was. The jungle was thick, and the trees seemed to go on forever. He tried calling out for help, but his voice was too weak. He was hungry and thirsty, and the sun was setting. Tomi knew he needed to find shelter before it got dark.
Just as the sun was setting, Tomi saw a light in the distance. He ran towards it, hoping it was his village. As he got closer, he saw that it was a small hut made of bamboo and palm leaves. He knocked on the door and an old man appeared.
The old man was a wise and kind shaman who lived in the jungle. He took pity on the lost boy and invited him in. Tomi told the old man how he had gotten lost and the old man listened patiently. He then gave Tomi food and water, and showed him where he could sleep for the night.
The next morning, the old man gave Tomi a map of the jungle and taught him how to read it. He also taught Tomi how to find his way using the sun and the stars. With the old man's help, Tomi was able to find his way back to his village safely.
From then on, Tomi never ventured into the jungle without a map and compass, and always made sure to tell someone where he was going. He was grateful to the old man for saving his life and for teaching him the valuable lesson of always being prepared.
The end.
