A MAN IN THE FOREST - A Story With REGULAR VERBS

There once lived a man who liked spending time alone. He decided to build a house in the forest and moved there, living alone as a hermit. He would hunt for food and do chores. Years passed in solitude until one day he noticed two children playing nearby. He invited them to his home where they talked and looked at old photos. The children promised to return but had to leave as it got dark. When they returned to the village, the man realized he missed people and no longer wanted to be alone, so he moved back to the village where the children's parents helped him start a new life.
