Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Sina, and she had a small, good, gentle bear named Golo. When the sun rose on one of the wonderful days, the princess wanted to go with the bear on an outing to one of the beautiful places.
The princess went with the bear far and far until they reached a distant and beautiful forest known as the Candy Forest. As soon as she looked at the forest, the princess knew why they called it the Candy Forest.
The trees in the forest were full of various types of candies of all colors instead of green leaves. The forest contained candies of all flavors and sizes. Instead of ordinary fruits in the forest, there were chocolate and vanilla fruits. It was like a paradise dedicated to candies.
The princess thought that children who go to this forest would be very happy because there were many delicious things within their reach. But the reality was different, as the children were constantly crying in sadness because they were small and could not reach the candy trees. They would jump upward and try to reach the tree trunks, but they never managed to reach the candies.
The princess thought of a solution to this problem facing the little ones until she reached a good method: making a ladder from the wood in the garden. She asked everyone to cooperate in making the ladder. Some went to search for wood, some contributed to cutting some other wooden trunks, and some carried the wood to the required place. Thus, everyone was able to make the wooden ladder.
They fixed the ladder to one of the trees, and one of them climbed bravely while the others stood raising their hands to receive the candy that the one standing on the ladder collected. Thus, the place around them was filled with different types of candies and chocolate. They divided these candies among everyone because everyone had participated in making the ladder and reaching the candies.
The princess and the bear also ate from these candies, but the time came when the princess would depart with the bear to return to their home. At this moment, the children thanked the princess who had helped them reach the candies, as she taught them the value of cooperation, without which they could not have reached the candies.
The story is translated from Spanish titled: EL BOSQUE DE LAS GOLOSINAS
