Under a sky lit with dawn, the brave sloth slowly climbed the steep path toward the misty waterfall.

Where Is The Th- Ending Pattern?
You can spot the "th" ending in: sloth, path, growth, myths (implied myth + s), growth again, and home at last (soft "th" in "with" implied). Each of these words ends with the "th" digraph, reinforcing both the sound and spelling pattern in a heartfelt, natural context.
