The Forest Lesson

On an afternoon, beneath the cool shade of an oak tree, Foxy began recounting his friends with tales of daring adventures.
"Yesterday was wild! I chased away a terrifying bear all alone!" he bragged, his eyes shining with excitement.
Sandy looked puzzled. "A bear? We didn't hear anything unusual yesterday, Foxy."
Timmy, ever the peacekeeper, gently questioned, "Foxy, are you absolutely certain you are being completely honest?" Foxy waved it away, trying to laugh it off. "Of course! Why would I lie?"
Despite Foxy's assurances his friends remained skeptical and decided to observe him carefully, eager to see if he would recount more stories. As days passed, Foxy's stories became more and more extravagant. His tale grew bigger and wilder, filled with amazing adventures and unbelievable events.
His friends were amazed at his stories, which seemed too good to be true. He said he climbed the tallest mountain and found a cave full of shimmering crystals; shared how he encountered a wise owl in magical woods where trees spoke of ancient stories and fairies danced under the moonlight; talked about how he flew on an eagle with white feathers and dove into a lake to save a drowning deer.
