Solitary Squirrel's Journey

There was once a solitary squirrel on its planet, with nothing else to do but observe the universe through its tiny telescope. It saw planets filled with animals of beautiful plumage, bushy manes or no fur at all, plants as large as buildings, and small plants of all colors, beautiful princes and princesses in stunning dresses and suits. The squirrel dreamt of traveling to these locations and experiencing new things. One day, through its telescope, it spotted a grey planet with a sad little hut, from which emerged a black wolf with a dark aura that seemed agitated. Despite the squirrel having seen so many vibrant princes and princesses, beautiful stones, and grand structures, it found the wolf to be the most mesmerizing and beautiful creature it had ever seen. The squirrel started observing the wolf daily. It decided to contact the wolf and scribbled a 'hello' note on a piece of paper, turned it into a paper plane, and launched it into space. Although there was no response that day, a returned plane with a reply was found the next morning. This exchange of paper plane messages continued, until one day, wanting to meet the wolf in person, the squirrel donned a spacesuit, boarded a rocket, and journeyed to the wolf's planet. After returning home, the squirrel found a sprouting seedling. It began taking care of it, watering it daily. Eventually, it blossomed into a beautiful red tulip. The squirrel thought the wolf's planet could use such beauty and gifted it the tulip. The wolf, in gratitude, invited the squirrel inside its colorful, lavender-scented home for tea and conversation. Despite the wolf's promise to take care of the tulip, one day, the squirrel saw that the gifted tulip had withered. Upset, the squirrel lost its trust in the wolf and severed ties. Time passed, and the squirrel did not see the wolf again. On the squirrel's planet, pink carnations began to sprout which it nurtured with love. Then one day, an astronaut with beautiful eyes landed on the squirrel's planet and they shared a conversation.
