Once, in the city of Futureville, there was a little girl named Ava. She lived in a tall house with shiny windows and lights that turned on with just a clap. In Ava's world, cars flew, and robots walked dogs. Ava had big brown eyes, loved to ask 'why,' and was as brave as a lion.

One sunny morning, Ava found a glowing gadget under her bed. It was round like a cookie and had buttons of all colors. 'What are you?' she asked. The gadget beeped, and a map appeared in the air. It showed a path that zigzagged through the city, ending at a green park she had never seen before.

With a backpack full of snacks, Ava followed the map's path. She rode on a scooter that hovered above the ground and zoomed past buildings that touched the sky. The gadget beeped every time she reached a turn. 'Left, right, straight,' it guided her, till she reached the edge of the metallic forest.

In the metallic forest, trees were made of silver, and the wind sounded like music. Ava met a small robot who had lost its way. The robot’s screen-face was sad. 'Can you help me find my home?' it beeped. Ava nodded. 'We'll find it together!' And so, they searched, hand-in-stand, until they found a little dome where the robot lived.

As Ava said goodbye to the robot, she realized the map was no longer a map. It showed a riddle instead. 'I’m full of life but never alive. I can sing without a voice. I’m everywhere, yet hard to find. What am I?' Ava thought hard. 'It's nature!' she shouted. The gadget beeped happily and sparkled. The path now led to the park's gates.

Inside the park, Ava saw trees with leaves, birds that tweeted without gadgets, and a pond clear as glass. Children played, and laughter mixed with the sounds of real wind and water. 'This is what’s missing at home,' Ava thought. The gadget chimed in agreement and showed her how to plant flowers and care for a little garden.

That night, back at home, Ava planted a flower by her window. 'You're small now, but you'll grow just like the trees in the park,' she told the flower. Ava promised to find balance between shiny gadgets and green, growing things. And her town, slowly but surely, started to get little spots of nature among the silver and lights.
