Through The Forest

Spirit ran as fast as he could trying to scare Mr. Venomous. Then&nbsp;Mr. Venomous tried to bite Spirit with its poison fangs. Spirit got out of the way fast. The snake said, ”Why bother running? You are going to be my dinner either way .”&nbsp; Spirit’s realized that he didn’t run that fast. He was still scared. His goal was to reunite with his mom and he was determined to be with her.

Spirit leaves his moms side to go and explore the woods. He discovers that the forest is much bigger than what it seems. Spirit hears something in the woods and immediately seals his eyes shut. What ends up coming out is a baby bunny who's names Thumper. Then they bump into a mean nasty snake. Does Spirit ever get to see his mom again?

Spirit dashes to his mom as he sprints with delight. Thumper hops as he chases Spirit up the hill He then nuzzles his mom, and Thumper just watches happily knowing that he helped his friend get home. “Where have you been? I have been so worried. I thought that I was never going to see you again! Hello there little fellow what is your name?,” Canella spoke as she trembled. “Hello! My names Thumper and I am friends with Spirit!,” Thumper said with joy.

Thumper then agreed happily. Spirit nodded. Spirit and his mom&nbsp;then laid down. Thumper then went and sat down in between both of them. They stayed there watching the sun set. Spirit was overjoyed that Thumper was going to stay and Canella was happy that Spirit has made a friend.

He picked up the sound of something coming through the bush. It was coming out slowly. Spirit hurried to lock his eyes away. When he opens them all he sees is a baby bunny. The baby bunny was looking at him all delighted. “Hello? My name is u-um-mm . . . Spirit?,”he said softly. “Nice to meet you Spirit! My name is Thumper.,” said the baby bunny. The baby bunny then noticed water trickling down his cheek. Thumper knew that it was not raining.&nbsp;

Spirit knew what to do. He wanted to go to his mom, but the snake wasn’t scared. He was starting to worry. He thought he would never run away from his mom. He had promised this to himself when he talked with Thumper. Spirit got ready to take a leap of faith. He ran back to boost his speed. He dashed and jumped to get over to the other side. Spirit survived the dangerous leap of faith. Mr. Venomous got scared and ducked like a coward.

Thumper told him that he saw a horse at a hill nearby, but the hill was near a habitat for a snake. After Spirit talked with Thumper they became friends then he took a minute to think. Spirit thought to himself, ”Next time, I am going to listen to mom and become a better horse.”&nbsp; Spirit and Thumper got up, determined to find Spirit's mom and tell her that he was going to change, and change for the better.

Spirit then spoke, “I didn't mean to mom, sorry. I needed to go and explore the woods! I could not help myself. I promise that this will never ever happen again.” “Nice to meet you Thumper. You can stay with us. Spirit, promise me that from now on you will tell me that you wish to go to the woods? Once you tell me you can go with Thumper.”&nbsp;

Spirit and Thumper went to the hill were Thumper last saw Spirits mom. Then they saw his mom she was under a big tree covering her with the green leaves.&nbsp;Spirit ran up the hill running towards her like if he haven’t seen his mom in years. Spirit ran as fast as he could trying to scare Mr. Venomous.

His feet crunched over the leaves as he strides through the forest. He then hears something coming from the bush.&nbsp; “Oh no!” He said with fear, “I am going to be feast for a rattlesnake! I should have stayed with mom. I should've never left her side. Now I am lost and I am going to be dinner for a rattlesnake!” he said as water trickled down his face.

Spirit cried wondering if he would ever see his mother again. Thumper heard his sobbing and was wondering why Spirit was crying.&nbsp; “Why are you crying, what happened?”, asked Thumper nervously.&nbsp; Spirit told the baby bunny that he left his mom because he wanted to explore. When he went out into the forest he got lost.

Spirit lives on a hill so low, it touched the forest through the roots like a coffin. Spirit’s running around having fun and neighing to the tree. The tree then waved hello with it’s leafy branches. Spirit then looks to the forest and sighs. “I wish that I could go and explore.” Spirit spoke sadly. “Wait! I can!,” he spoke as he leaped with joy.&nbsp; Then Spirit starts walking into the forest. He then starts to get worried. He starts to shiver just as a sharp breeze passes by. Spirit trembles as he wanders around in the forest.&nbsp;

When Spirit was finish talking. Thumper wanted to help him. He told Spirit that he could show him the place where he saw his mother. Spirit and Thumper saw that Spirits mom was on the hill. He got excited. As Spirit started towards his mother he saw a snake blocking the path. The snake said, ”Hello I am Mr. Venomous and you are my dinner.” Spirit was worried and was stuck like a fly in a web nowhere to run. He needed to get past the snake to be with his mom. Then Spirit then had an idea. Spirit thought of trying to scare him by running full speed strait at him.
