Squirrel and Pyramid

Squirrel lived in the forest, active and smart.
Her curiosity and optimism knew no bounds.
One day she noticed Pyramid in the distance,
Which towered among the trees like a skyscraper.

"Wow, what an interesting building!
I'll go and see what it is!"
Squirrel rushed to Pyramid and climbed on it
With such speed that even she was surprised.

So, Squirrel ended up at the top of Pyramid
And began to look around.
Pyramid had an incomprehensible design
And it didn't look like any object from Squirrel's world.

Suddenly stones began to break away from Pyramid,
But instead of falling, they flew up.
Panicked Squirrel tried to hold on,
She understood that she had fallen into a trap.

"Oh, Pyramid, you are incredibly smart!
You showed me how harmful thoughtless curiosity is!
Now I'll be more careful,
I will no longer climb in unfamiliar places!"

But Pyramid stood silent and did not answer,
While the stones continued to fly up.
Squirrel thought she was in a Christopher Nolan movie,
And expected her to go crazy any minute.

But still, the stones stopped flying away,
And Squirrel managed to go down.
Happy, she rushed to her home,
But she did not forget the lesson of strange Pyramid.

Now Squirrel walks through the forest carefully
And tells the neighbors that curiosity is dangerous.
She tells her friends about Pyramid
And about how she almost died
From incomprehensible physical effects.

Friends listen to Squirrel very carefully
And advise her to stop abusing mushrooms.
