Mrs. Willow had a small cottage tucked away among the tall trees. Her cottage had a thatched roof and was surrounded by colorful flowers and singing birds.

Every day, Mrs. Willow would venture into the forest to collect berries and herbs. She knew all the secrets of the forest and could talk to animals. Squirrels, rabbits, and birds would often gather around her as she hummed sweet tunes.

One day, a lost butterfly with beautiful patterns landed on Mrs. Willow's shoulder. The old lady gently blew on it, helping it fly away. The grateful butterfly left a trail of sparkling dust, which led Mrs. Willow to a hidden treasure.
