Once upon a time, in a cozy little house at the edge of a bright, green forest, there lived a cheerful girl named Little Red Cape. Her grandmother had made her a red cape that she wore every day, and everyone in the village called her Little Red Cape. Today, she decided to have a picnic with her toys in the forest.

Little Red Cape packed a basket full of yummy sandwiches, juicy apples, and honey cakes. She called her favorite teddy bear, Mr. Cuddles, and her fluffy rabbit, Flopsy, to join her. They set off into the forest, singing songs and skipping along a winding path lined with colorful flowers.

As they found the perfect spot near a sparkling stream, Little Red Cape laid out a red-and-white blanket and set the picnic. Suddenly, they heard a rustling in the bushes. Out jumped a friendly squirrel named Squeaky. He wore a tiny green hat and carried a small acorn bag.

Squeaky was no ordinary squirrel; he could talk! 'Hello, Little Red Cape!' he cheerfully chirped. 'I'm having a treasure hunt, and I need clever friends to help me. Will you join me after your picnic?' Little Red Cape thought it sounded like a grand adventure, and she agreed to help after lunch.

After a delicious meal, Little Red Cape, Mr. Cuddles, and Flopsy followed Squeaky through the forest. They crawled under logs, climbed trees, and even hopped on stones across a little brook. Each clue led them closer to the treasure, and they laughed and helped each other along the way.

Finally, after solving riddles and following maps, they found the treasure hidden under a grand old oak tree. It was a chest filled with shiny stones, gold coins, and sparkling jewels. Squeaky announced that it was for all of them to share because the real treasure was their new friendship.

Little Red Cape and her friends returned to the village with hearts full of joy. They had had the best adventure ever, and Little Red Cape couldn’t wait to tell her grandmother all about it. From that day on, Squeaky often visited, and they all played happily ever after.
