Read the story Easy English

In a wide and wonderful forest lived a waterfall named Willa. Willa was soft and calm, and her water made a quiet whispering sound. The other waterfalls were wild, strong, and very loud. Animals came from everywhere to admire their big sounds. They often ignored Willa's soft whisper and wondered if she was too weak. Willa felt worried and lonely, wishing her quiet voice could be wonderful too.

One windy night, a strange problem came to the forest. A thick wall of fog covered the trees, making the paths hard to see. The animals became confused and wandered around, unable to find their way home. Everything felt quiet, dark, and uncertain. Willa listened with care and heard the animals moving and calling in the mist. She decided to whisper a little louder to help them.

Her soft sound moved clearly through the fog like a safe guide. She gently asked the animals to follow her steady whisper. Step by step, the animals walked toward her voice until they reached the waterfall safely. The fog slowly faded away, and the stars shone again. The animals thanked Willa for saving them. Willa felt warm, proud, and happy with her gentle voice.
