Five friends went to spend their holidays in a mountain village called Chandrapur.
The village was surrounded by green forests, fog-covered hills, and a strange silence.
One evening, they met an old man near a tea stall. His face looked tired, and his voice was low and serious.
He said,
"That mountain over there is called the Forbidden Mountain. No one goes there. Those who went… never returned."
Suman trembled and said,
"Let's go back to the city tomorrow."
But Arif's eyes shone with excitement.
"A mystery should be solved, not feared. We will go there."
Riya spoke calmly,
"Even if we are afraid, we must find the truth."
And so, their adventure began.Into the Unknown Forest
Early the next morning, they entered the forest.
As they walked deeper, sunlight faded and strange bird calls echoed around them.
Suddenly, Neela stopped.
"Look! These trees have strange symbols carved on them."
Kabir said,
"They must be signs left by someone."
Suddenly, they heard a sound—
Rustle… rustle…
Something moved inside the bushes.
Suman shouted,
"A ghost!"
But an injured deer came out slowly.
Riya smiled,
"Fear makes us imagine things. We must look carefully before panicking."
They realized that courage and intelligence were more important than fear.The Cave Door
By afternoon, they saw a dark cave at the side of the mountain.
On a stone near the entrance, words were written:
"Those who seek the truth must pass through fear."
Arif said,
"This must be the Forbidden Mountain."
As they entered, cold air touched their faces.
Suddenly, the cave door closed behind them—
BANG!
Suman cried,
"We are trapped!"
Kabir pushed the stone door with all his strength and it slowly opened again.
Neela turned on her torch.
On the cave walls, there was an ancient map drawn in red.
Riya read it aloud,
"This is a treasure map!"The Hidden Truth
Following the map, they went deeper inside the mountain.
Suddenly, Arif almost fell into a trap, but Kabir caught him in time.
A little farther, they found an old temple hidden between rocks.
Inside, a message was written:
"Long ago, a wise civilization lived here. They hid themselves from the outside world."
Neela whispered,
"So people thought no one ever returned."
Suddenly, a voice echoed,
"Who are you?"
An old man appeared. He was the guardian of the mountain.
He said,
"We are the people of this mountain. We harm no one. We only protect our home."
The five friends were shocked and silent.Courage in Danger
Suddenly, the mountain began to shake.
Rocks fell and dust filled the air.
Riya shouted,
"We must get out now!"
They held each other's hands tightly.
Suman cried,
"I can't do this!"
Arif said firmly,
"Yes, you can. We will survive together."
Neela showed them the way.
Kabir used his strength to pull everyone forward.
At the last moment, they escaped from the mountain.A New Morning
The next day, they returned to the village and told the truth.
The villagers learned that the Forbidden Mountain had no ghosts—
only a hidden civilization living in peace.
The five friends promised to keep the mountain's secret safe.
Riya said softly,
"Not every mystery should be revealed to the world."
Suman laughed,
"This was the greatest adventure of our lives!"
Arif said proudly,
"We didn't just discover a mountain… we discovered our own courage."Conclusion
From this journey, they learned:
Courage means facing fear
Friendship is the greatest strength
Truth is not always frightening
The village would forever remember them as:
"The Explorers of the Forbidden Mountain."
