                                          LILA AND HOW SHE SAVED HER VILLAGE 




Once there was a small village nestled in the heart of a snowy mountain range. The villagers were hardy folk, used to the harsh winters that swept through their valley each year. But this winter was different. It was longer and colder than any they had ever experienced.
As the days passed, the villagers began to worry. Their food stores were running low, and they had no way to hunt or gather more with the deep snow blocking their paths. They huddled together in their homes, trying to keep warm, but the cold seeped in through the cracks in the walls, and many fell ill.
One day, a young girl named Lila decided she couldn't sit by and do nothing. She put on her warmest clothes and set out into the storm. She trudged through the snow, her feet numb and her hands red with cold, but she didn't stop. She knew she had to find a way to save her village.
As she walked, she came across an old man huddled beside a fire. He was a wise old sage who had lived in the village for many years. He told Lila that the only way to end the winter was to travel to the top of the tallest mountain and speak to the spirit of winter.
Lila didn't hesitate. She set off once again, this time with renewed determination. She climbed the mountain, her feet sinking into the deep snow with each step. At the top, she found a cave, and inside the cave, she found the spirit of winter.
The spirit was a formidable figure, tall and cold, but Lila was not afraid. She explained the plight of her village and begged the spirit to end the winter. The spirit was touched by Lila's bravery and her concern for her people. He agreed to end the winter and with a wave of his hand, the snow began to melt, and the sun shone down on the village once again.
Lila returned to her village as a hero, and the villagers celebrated the end of the long winter. They knew that they would always have Lila to thank for their salvation, and they would never forget her brave journey to the top of the mountain.
