Once upon a time in a small village in West Africa, there lived a young girl named Adama. Adama was known throughout the village for her kindness and her love for animals. She spent most of her days playing with the village goats and chickens, and she would often bring them treats.

One day, while Adama was playing in the fields, she heard a loud noise. She looked up and saw a large bird flying towards her. It was an eagle, and it was coming straight for her. Adama was scared, but she didn't run. Instead, she stood still and watched as the eagle came closer.

As the eagle landed in front of Adama, she realized that it wasn't trying to attack her. Instead, the eagle spoke to her. "Adama, I am the messenger of the spirits," the eagle said. "The spirits have chosen you to undertake a great mission. You must find the lost city of gold."

Adama was surprised. She had never heard of the lost city of gold, but she knew that it must be an important place if the spirits had chosen her for this task. She asked the eagle how she could find the city of gold, and the eagle replied, "You must follow your heart and listen to the animals. They will guide you to your destination."

Adama knew that this would be a difficult task, but she was determined to complete it. She said goodbye to her family and set out on her journey. She traveled through forests, across rivers, and over mountains, always listening to the animals and following her heart.

As Adama journeyed through the land, she encountered many obstacles. She faced fierce animals, dangerous weather conditions, and treacherous terrain. But she never lost sight of her goal, and she continued to move forward, guided by the spirits and the animals.

One day, Adama was resting in a small village when she heard a strange noise. She followed the noise to a nearby cave and saw a group of monkeys gathered around a rock. The monkeys were crying and whimpering, and Adama could see that one of them was trapped under the rock.

Adama knew that she had to help the monkey, but she didn't know how. She remembered the eagle's words and decided to listen to the animals. She approached the monkeys and said, "I will help the trapped monkey if you can answer my riddle."

The monkeys agreed, and Adama asked her riddle. "What starts with an 'e,' ends with an 'e,' but only contains one letter?" she asked.

The monkeys thought for a moment and then the smallest monkey spoke up. "It's an envelope!" he said.

Adama was impressed with the monkey's answer, and she promised to help the trapped monkey. She lifted the rock with all her might and managed to free the monkey. The monkeys cheered and thanked Adama for her bravery and quick thinking.

As Adama continued on her journey, she encountered many more obstacles, but she always found a way to overcome them. Finally, after many long months of travel, she saw a city in the distance. It was the lost city of gold.

Adama entered the city and saw that it was truly a place of wonder. The buildings were made of pure gold, and the streets were paved with diamonds. She walked through the city, marveling at its beauty, and she knew that she had completed her mission.

As Adama left the city, she realized that her journey had taught her a valuable lesson. She had learned that if she followed her heart and listened to the animals, she could overcome any obstacle and achieve her dreams. She returned to her village, a hero and a legend, and her name became synonymous with bravery, kindness, and determination.
