She was barefooted and ran all the way on the long-suffering pavement of stony path.

To include all the information that was contained in those four sentences would require making one long sentence - unacceptably long, in my opinion. Your suggested sentence omits the information that the subject is a "little girl", that the stony path goes from her home to another village and that walking on that path was "a toil" (an odd phrase). I have never heard of a "long-suffering" path before. I am also not clear if the point being made is that walking on the path is difficult but running on it is OK, and that's why she ran. It's a very odd exercise.

3. Running/walking on the stony path was hard for the little girl.
4. The little girl was running all the way because she need to ask somebody for help.

If it requires making one long sentence, then how about two sentences?

I'm confused about what you're trying to do. You started with four sentences containing specific information and said you were trying to make one sentence out of them. Now you have added extra information to sentence 4, changed the meaning of sentence 3, and want to make it into two sentences.

Is this an exercise you have been given to do or are you making the whole thing up yourself?

And if so, why?

I made the whole thing up myself.

OK, let's go back to your first post. You made it all up yourself but I will deal with it as if it were an actual exercise question. If I had to make one sentence of your four, retaining all the information, I would have written this:

"The little, barefoot girl ran all the way from her home to another village along a long-suffering stony path which was a toil to walk on."

I think you'll agree it's rather long sentence. I retained your use of "long-suffering" and "toil" even though I don't find either of them very natural.

The sentence corrected by you is very close to what I wanted to express. However, the words "long-suffering" and "toil" are created by myself. Originally, I meant the way from her home to another village was a torture because the pavement of the stony path would hurt her feet. So, how to express the idea in a natural phrase of this sentence?
