Speaker 1 (00:22):
The echo in the woods. Deep in the heart of
the Whispering Pines, where ancient trees stretched towards the sky
and golden sunlight trickled through the leaves, there lived a
curious boy named Elias. He had wild brown curls, eyes
as deep as the forest shadows, and a heart filled
with wonder. Alias loved the woods more than anything. Every
(00:45):
morning he wandered past the old stone bridge, past the
mossy rocks and babbling brook, listening to the rustling leaves
and chirping birds. But there was one thing that fascinated
him most, the echoes. He called out Hello, The forest
answered back, mimicking his voice perfectly. Hello, it whispered through
(01:07):
the trees. Who are you? He once shouted, Who are you?
The echo replied. Elias giggled at first, but deep inside
he wondered. Was the echo just his own voice, bouncing
through the trees, or was there something more? The voice
of the forest. One crisp autumn afternoon, as golden leaves
(01:28):
danced in the wind, Elias ventured deeper than ever before.
The trees grew taller, their trunks thick with age, their
roots twisting like great sleeping serpents. Is anyone there, Elias
called for the first time. The echo did not repeat
his words. Instead, a soft whisper floated back. Listen, well,
(01:53):
young one, Elias froze. His heart thumped like a drum.
Who said that? But the window only carried laughter, soft,
kind and ancient. The boy pressed forward, stepping over tangled
roots and crunching fallen leaves underfoot. Soon he found himself
before an enormous tree, its bark knotted with strange patterns,
(02:15):
its branches stretching like arms toward the sky. Something about
it felt different wise alive. Who are you, Elias asked.
The tree did not answer, but the wind rustled through
its leaves, and the echo returned Those who walked before
you lessons from the pass. Alius placed a hand against
(02:38):
the rough bark. Suddenly the world shimmered around him, and
he was no longer standing in an empty clearing. Shadows
of people flickered before him, hunters with bows, gatherers with baskets,
children climbing trees, elders whispering secrets to the wind. The
voices of the past filled his ears. Respect the land
(02:59):
and it will care for you. Follow the river when
you are lost, for it always knows the way. Listen
to the trees, for they remember, Elias gasped. The echoes
weren't just his own voice. They were the voices of
those who had lived in the forest long before him.
The wind had carried their wisdom through time, waiting for
(03:21):
someone to listen. Why are you telling me this, Elias
asked again. The whisper came softer than the breeze, because
you are part of the story now, the keeper of
the echoes. As the sun began to set, Elias made
his way home, his heart brimming with wonder. The echoes
(03:43):
no longer felt like a trick of sound, but a gift,
whispers of wisdom from the past, waiting for someone to listen.
From that day on, Elias treated the forest differently. He
walked with care, listened with patience, and whenever he called
into the war woods, he no longer expected just an echo.
(04:03):
He listened for the voices of those who had come before.
And if you ever find yourself in the whispering pines,
where the trees stand tall and the wind hums through
the leaves call out softly, you just might hear the
echoes of those who walked before you. The end
