It had been a few weeks since their adventures in the Grand Canyon, life was changing for everyone. Jack's injured leg was improving day by day. While Gray continued his role as the fish catcher and Katie diligently gathered berries.

Jack loves exploring. He is very good at uncovering new things and unique places in the forest, and it was as if he brought a breath of fresh air into their daily routines. Jack's arrival had filled their lives with endless excitement and energy . Their exploration of the forest was no longer a solo pursuit; they embarked on these adventures together, as a close-knit trio.

One of the most memorable day is their second time to the Rainbow Creek, this time with Jack. Where he found something amazing:

"Katie, Gray! You won't believe what I've found!" Jack's voice was filled with excitement he asked them to follow him. With their natural curiosity piqued, they quickly scrambled out of the creek and joined Jack.

"What is it, Jack?" Katie asked, her eyes alight with curiosity.

With a grin, Jack replied, "You'll have to see it for yourselves. Follow me, it's not far from here." With that, he began leading the way through the forest.

Gray, always cautious, asked, "Is it safe, Jack? You know we need to be careful out here."

Jack reassured him, "Don't worry, Gray. I've looked ahead, and it's safe. But you'll be amazed when you see it." With that, they continued on their path, anticipation building with every step.

After a short walk through the dense woods, they reached a clearing, and there it was - the breathtaking sight of a vast, shimmering lake. The sun's rays danced upon the water's surface, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of light and color. The lake stretched out as far as the eye could see, surrounded by tall trees and vibrant wildflowers. They decided to call it The Rainbow Lake.

But that's not the only thing Jack found; a few days after the discovery of Rainbow Lake, he also stumbled upon a old train tracks on the forest floor. There is fences on both side of it, preventing anyone from getting too close to it.

Katie and Gray exchanged intrigued glances as Jack shared his discovery. "Train tracks?" Katie asked, her interest piqued.

Jack nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, and there are fences on both sides; I wasn't able to climb over them. Do you guys want to come with me and explore it?"

Katie, always eager for adventure, chimed in, "That sounds exciting, Jack! I wonder where they lead."

Gray, on the other hand, voiced his concern. "Hold on, Jack. We should be careful. Those tracks could be dangerous. We don't know their origin or purpose, and I think they might be made by humans. We never know what humans want. Listen, adventures are exiting, but there is a limit. I think we should stay safe in the familiar forest for now."

Katie and Jack were a little disappointed, but they understood Gray's concerns. Adventure was exciting, but they knew safety was paramount. Maybe they'll explore it in the future, when they feel more prepared.

In summary, life had been utterly transformed since Jack had come into their world. Every day felt like a new chapter of adventure, with Jack leading the way and uncovering exciting discoveries, and the trio's bond grew stronger as they faced challenges and explored the mysteries of their forest home.
