Luntik and the Sunbeam Fairy Tale

One day, Luntik went for a walk in the forest. The spring sun was shining, and everything around him was glowing. The beauty of nature filled Luntik with joy as he smiled and walked forward. He hoped to meet his friends and headed toward the big tree by the river.

Along the way, he noticed a small beetle sitting sadly under a tree. Luntik approached and asked:

— Hello, little beetle, why are you so sad?

The beetle, with its head lowered, softly replied:

— The sunbeam is gone, and without it, my wings can’t fly. They’ve become so weak.

Luntik was surprised, as he had never heard of a sunbeam disappearing. He immediately decided to help.

— Don’t worry, little beetle, I’ll help you find the sunbeam! — said Luntik, and he started walking along the river.

On the way, he met Caterpillar and Bee. Luntik told them about the beetle's problem, and they also wanted to help.

— Maybe the sunbeam is hiding behind the clouds, — said Caterpillar. — Let’s climb the hill and see.

The three of them climbed to the highest hill in the forest. When they reached the top, they saw the sun shining, but part of it was covered by a large cloud.

— Look, the sunbeam is hiding behind that cloud, — said Bee.

Luntik called out to the cloud:

— Cloud, please let the sunbeam shine again.

The cloud replied:

— I just wanted to rest a little. But seeing your kindness, I’m happy to help, — and the cloud gently drifted away.

The sunbeam shone brightly again, illuminating the entire forest. Luntik and his friends returned to the beetle, who felt the warmth of the sunlight and spread its wings with joy.

— Thank you, friends! Now I can fly again! — exclaimed the beetle happily.

Luntik and his friends smiled as they watched the beetle fly away.

— We should always be ready to help because our friends' happiness is also our happiness, — said Luntik.

And so, Luntik and his friends continued their walk, enjoying the sunlight. The forest was alive with joy once again, as everyone realized how important it is to support one another.
