Indeed, the girl was as beautiful as it was told but the rest… It was a legend nothing more. The girl herself wasn't sure of why the forest became home to her. At first it was a hideaway from everything what hurt her. As the time passed she found herself more and more attached to the place. And one day she never came back from her hideaway. As unusual as it sounds, no one missed her. It never came to her mind that someone could. Surrounded by thousands of trees, a flowing river, wild animals who became her family and friends, wind and even sometimes rain she didn't need anything else.
One day there was a huge storm in the woods. Lightning was striking the ground and thunder was roaring, giant trees were falling down. Forest animals hid where they could protect themselves against this huge thunderstorm. However, there was a girl in the woods, she was staring at the storm and she realized that the storm was going on because she was around. So, she thought it was a good idea to go into a forest pitch “what could possibly go wrong” she thought and immediately was hit by lightning... and she fell down more dead than alive. Fortunately, animals of the forest found her lying on the ground, so they dragged the girl into the cave nearby and nursed her day and night, until she finally got well.
