Forest friends and a Bad Plan Adventure
Once upon a time, there were three animals, a fox, a rabbit, a robin. One day, Fox said “I’m bored, do you know what to do?” looking at Rabbit. “No” replied Rabbit. “What about you Robin?” Robin remained still, perching on the branch while Fox and Rabbit lay in the fresh grass. “I’ve got an idea!” chirped Robin out of nowhere. “Really? Let’s hear it.” said Rabbit intrigued. “Let’s see Cat!”, answered Robin. Fox’s eyes widened in response to what Robin had said. “You mean Black Cat?!” said Fox with surprisment in her eyes. “Yeah!” Robin said, staying in her normal, non-worried, jolly spirit. “Guess that’s not a too-bad idea.” replied Rabbit. Fox closed her eyes tightly and did a small shudder, shaking her concerned thoughts out of her head. Once she had got the thoughts out of her head and opened her eyes she said “Not a bad idea? it’s a really bad idea!” Rabbit and Robbin didn’t hear Fox because they had already started walking along the narrow path that led towards the village. Fox dragged her paws behind them, looked down at the path and thought to herself what are they thinking? Once they got to Black Cat, the three forest creatures faced her. Fox, Rabbit and Robin realised they were on a dusty, small cliff that separated the village and the forest. “Hello” said the Black Cat mysteriously, as Fox backed out of the conversation. “Hi!” Robin chirped back. “Why do I find you here?” questioned Black Cat. “We were bored so we came to see you” replied Rabbit. “Well how pleasant” said Black Cat smirking.
She stretched out her claws, and they slowly sank back in. Robin looked back at Fox and Rabbit who were whispering. Fox winked at Robin meaning they had a plan, just in case. “Oh, um Black Cat sorry to interrupt but can I have permission to speak?” interrupted Rabbit “of course” said Black Cat gently. “We were wondering if our friend Hedgehog could meet you because she doesn’t like missing out.” “Yes” said Black Cat quickly without hesitation. “I’ll go get her!” exclaimed Fox, instantly running to get Hedgehog. Black Cat with the lack of luck she had. With only two left, this was going to be as easy as pie. While Fox was gone, a sense of unease came over Rabbit and Robin. Whilst having their conversation with Black Cat, this feeling was growing into regret about their plan to come here. Just before Fox and Hedgehog returned, Black Cat stretched all the way back with her arms straightened in front of her. Suddenly, Black cat pounced towards Robin. “Watch out!” cried Rabbit. Robin swooped out of the way just in time for Black Cat to land on hedgehog’s spikes. Black Cat cried in pain and ran away. When night came, the forest friends celebrated with a big party, happy that they will never see Black Cat again.
The End.
