Greetings dear community of the ink well, in this opportunity, I bring a new story for this beautiful challenge.
In a world where everything is possible, where fantasies become reality and value is the most important.
A young lizard named Jopa, eager for adventure, but ignored by everyone around him, although many are waiting for him to smile with him, because he has the ability to make everyone smile for a small brief moment. Jopa although his appearance is not so attractive to the other lizards.
Jopa one day struck up a conversation with one of his friends, called "Yerje".
Yerje says: "Jopa, you know what Maro told me about what he thinks of you".
Jopa replies: "The truth Yerje, is that I have no idea since Maro has not told me at any time, but since he mentions it I would like to know."
Yerje says: "Well Maro told me that it seems to her that you want us all to be like you, to feel what you feel and to be careful with you."
Jopa replies: " I can't believe you said that, I'm sorry but it's not what I want and it's not my intention. well I'll leave you talk to you later, Bye. "
Jopa after that moment of saying goodbye to Yerje, started to feel a bit bad, as it was never his intention that everyone could feel or think the same way as him. Rather, if he approaches them, it is out of sympathy and not because he wants them to change their way of thinking or acting.
One day, Jopa decides not to meet with them and leaves the village in search of new adventures, as he went deeper into the forest, more dangers he could find, and when he had several minutes walking, without noticing Jopa got lost in the forest.
When Jopa realized, he was already lost, but for a minute he felt desperate, but he told himself to calm down, once he managed to get calm he started walking and as he walked, he could hear someone calling for help, Jopa walked in the direction where he thought the cries for help were coming from, once he arrived he observed that there was a young bird trapped by a noose, which kept it in captivity. So he decided to try to free it from the noose.
Several minutes later, Jopa and the young bird heard that someone was approaching, so Jopa hurried to free the young bird, and it was not long before the cause of the noose reached them. A few seconds before the hunter arrived, Jopa managed to free the bird and they hid in the bushes in total silence.
After several minutes of hiding in the bushes and when they could no longer see the creature that had set such a trap, they decided to leave the place before the creature returned.
As he walked, the young bird told him that her name was "xandra" and he told her that his name was Jopa and that he was lost in the forest, Xandra told him that she would help him find his way back to his village in gratitude for what he had just done for him.
Xandra begins to fly as high as she can to see if she can find the path where Jopa had gone before he got lost.
After several minutes, Xandra found the way back to Jopa's village, she went downstairs to tell Jopa that she had found the way to her village and when she told her in which direction she had to go to find the way and how long it would take to find the way.
Then Jopa started walking in the direction Xandra had told him to go, after 5 minutes of walking, he found the way to his village.
Jopa then stops because Xandra told him that she could accompany him until there and that from there onwards he should just walk, Jopa felt a little sad that Xandra did not continue with him until he reached the village, but he then understands that she also needs to get to her village, they say goodbye but before leaving he tells Xandra that he will always be her friend and that whenever she wants she can go outside her village to visit him and that he will be there every day, waiting for her.
Then Jopa, continued on his way to the village, when he arrived he noticed that no one had noticed that he was lost, he was saddened but did not give it importance because he had made a new friend, then daily went out of the village to meet Xandra and every time they met they spent unforgettable moments and their friendship grew stronger and stronger.
