The Lost Brother In a small village, two sisters, Sewit and Luwam, loved playing with their little brother, Kudus. But Kudus was always curious and often wandered off. One evening, as the sun set, Sewit noticed Kudus was missing. ________________________________________ Sewit: "Luwam, Kudus is gone again!" Luwam: (worried) "Oh no! It’s getting dark. Let’s take the lantern and find him." ________________________________________ They searched the village, asking everyone if they had seen Kudus, but no one had. Sewit: "He must be in the woods. We have to go!" Luwam: (nervous) "The woods are scary at night!" Sewit: "Don’t worry. We’ll stay together." ________________________________________ The sisters held the lantern tightly as they entered the dark forest. The trees swayed, and strange sounds filled the air. Suddenly, Luwam pointed. "Look! Over there!" Under a big tree, Kudus sat holding a shiny rock that glowed faintly. ________________________________________ Sewit: (relieved) "Kudus! Why did you run off?" Kudus: (innocently) "I saw this glowing rock and wanted to follow it." Luwam: "You scared us! Don’t run away like that again." Kudus: (looking down) "I didn’t think you’d miss me." Sewit: (hugging him) "Of course we’d miss you. We love you, Kudus. We’re stronger when we stick together." ________________________________________ The three of them held hands and walked home, the lantern lighting their way. Kudus never wandered off alone again, knowing his sisters would always look out for him.
