Once upon a time, four friends named Lily, Max, Oliver, and Sophie went looking for a magic clover in the forest. They wanted to find it because it could make a wish come true. They took a map and bags and walked into the trees, ready for fun.

They had a great time on their way. They walked over wobbly bridges, played hide and seek with trolls, and talked to animals. One day, they found a rainbow road that took them to a big, big waterfall. Surprise! The waterfall turned into a huge bubble bath, and they all jumped in and laughed.

Next, they met Mr. Quizzler, who asked them a hard question. They thought hard and then gave the right answer! After that, little pixies came and tried to trick them, but Oliver asked them to dance instead. The pixies loved dancing and let the friends pass.

In the end, the friends found the magic clover in the middle of the forest. They were about to make a wish, but then they saw that their adventure and their friendship was the best thing of all. They left the magic clover and went home, happy. They learned that having good friends is the most special thing in the world.
