In the morning, Crystal always woke up, and would make herself a hot cup of tea.  This was her favorite way to wake up, and she loved sipping it while watching the glistening forest out from her window.

Crystal lived in a forest, which was very special to her, because every day, she would go out and explore and be adventurous.   One morning while Crystal was finishing her tea, she started planning her day.

1.Go for a walk  

2.Collect fluff from the cozy trees

3.Find new plants along the river bank

4.Explore new places!  

One of her hobbies, was to make her blankets and clothing from the fluff of the cozy trees.  Where she lived, cozy trees were very popular and valuable. You could make many different things with them such as, make blankets, clothing, pillows, and much more.  Crystal made sure that she did this almost everyday.

After she walked around the lake, and was collecting her fluff, she was now in the middle of the forest, and saw something that she had never seen before.  Right in front of her, there was a beautiful canopy of sparkling tree branches and leaves, with something wonderful and special in the middle. There was an amazing glittering gem on the inside, along with a soft drape of fluff.  Crystal was shocked at the sight, and took a closer look. Inside of the gem, was one of the sparkling leaves, and she observed it some more.

This place from now on, would be a very special to her and she will go to visit it everyday and keep it safe.  She named it The Forest Gem
