Once upon a time, three best friends—Aarav, Liam, and Rafiq—met every summer at a magical place called Harmony Hill, where their families went for vacation. Even though they came from different countries, they shared one thing in common: they loved exploring the forest behind the hill.

One sunny morning, they heard strange growling and rumbling from deep in the woods.

"That sounded like... a monster!" Liam shouted, grabbing a big stick like a sword.

"A real one? Or just an animal?" Rafiq asked, a little nervous.

"Let’s find out!" Aarav grinned, adjusting his homemade backpack full of gadgets.

They followed the sounds and discovered a hidden cave with giant footprints outside. Inside, glowing green eyes peeked from the darkness.

“Who goes there?” a deep, grumbly voice asked.

The boys froze.

Then out stepped a HUGE furry creature, with mossy hair, three eyes, and a tail that wagged like a puppy's.

“I’m Moko,” the monster said sadly. “I didn’t mean to scare anyone... I’m just lonely.”

The boys exchanged glances. "You're not scary! You're awesome!" Liam laughed.

Aarav offered Moko a gadget that played music, and Rafiq told him a story from Bangladesh. Liam taught him a handshake from the USA.

From that day on, the three boys and Moko became best friends. They played games, built a treehouse in the forest, and learned about each other's cultures—and even taught Moko how to dance!

They promised to come back every summer to visit Moko, and they named the cave Friendship Hollow.

Moral: Friendship knows no borders—and sometimes, monsters just need a little love too.
