“I don’t want to go outside!” yelled Connie.
“At least get some fresh air for once.” replied Kayzia. “Besides, we’re already outside enjoying the fresh air. Also, Rufus wants to go for a walk. We can't just leave him in the house all day or leave him to walk somewhere alone randomly in the forest.”
“Fine, I guess I’ll tag along” replied Connie in defeat. “I’m only going because Rufus can’t go alone in the forest!”
Kayzia takes out her phone and calls Mum. “So when are you kids coming back?” asked Mum, in a bit of a worried voice.
“We will be back by dinner”. Rufus barked for Connie and Kayzia’s attention, as Kayzia ended the call with her Mother.
“Come on, let’s go already.” Connie says in an angry voice.
“Alright then” Kayzia replies. Connie pets Rufus and puts his leash on. Kayzia and Connie start to walk Rufus around the forest. The forest was dark because the tall trees were blocking the sun. Minutes passed and they ran into a wild goat and a wild duck.
“Run!” Kayzia shouted in fear as Rufus, Kayzia and Connie ran away from the duck and the goat. As the three ran away, Rufus scratched his paw on a rock. Rufus started to whimper in pain. To Kazyia, Rufus and Connie’s surprise, Deny the duck took a feather from herself, wrapping it around Rufus’ paw. Gunmar the goat ripped a leaf from a tree and wrapped it around the feather. Gunmar then took some tree sap with his horn and stuck it to the leaf to keep the feather and the leaf stable together. The girls then understood that Gunmar the Goat and Deny the duck were harmless. The two animals wanted to help the girls find their way home, but they did not know how to find their way out of the forest. Gunmar the goat, Deny the duck, Rufus the dog, Kazyia and Connie started to look for ways to get out of the forest. But with no luck.
“Guys, there’s no use in looking around for an exit” Connie pointed out in defeat. “Wait, we can use Kazyia’s phone to call someone to help us!” Rufus started to bark with excitement. Kazyia pulled out her phone and tried to call a rescue team to help them, but there wasn’t any reception.
“We should go look for food, it’s getting late.” Kayzia pointed out. As the group walked by, Connie stumbled upon some food.
“Hey I found a random bag of chips.” said Connie. Kayzia walked up to the bag of chips and picked them up.
“Guys, I don’t really know if we can eat this. I mean what if it's poisoned or something.” Kazyia said in a trembling voice from hunger.
“Guess you have a point.” Connie replied in an annoyed voice. Rufus barked as he signaled for the group to look elsewhere for food sources. Suddenly the group heard a propeller noise above the group. It was a helicopter! Gusts of wind blew their hair and nearly blew a bush down. The helicopter lowered to the ground, causing a huge thud. Two men stepped out of the helicopter.
“Hello there, we’ve received a call saying that a woman's daughters and dog have gone missing in this forest, so I believe they are you perhaps?” Asked one of the two men in an unsure voice.
“Yup, that’s us right, he - !” But before Connie could finish her sentence, the second rescue worker interrupted.
“ Sorry about that, we forgot to introduce ourselves. My name is Colin, also known as Sir Colin. The guy that I cut off was Sir Kaleb!” Sir Colin said in enthusiasm.” And I think you already know why we’re here!” Connie replied in excitement,
“Are you here to give us food!?”
“No! We’re here to rescue you guys.” Sir Colin points out in disbelief.
“Come on already, let's get out of here!” Kazyia shouted in excitement as Rufus, Connie and Kazyia climbed up the helicopter and the two rescue workers followed them. When Connie, Kazyia and Rufus got into the helicopter, they waved goodbye to Gunmar the goat and Deny the duck.
As the helicopter flew away Connie started to show off saying, “see! I told you that we shouldn’t have gone into the forest!” As she showed off, Kazyia admitted in defeat,
“Fine, you were right. I guess. But I mean, you’re still lazy and that’s not entirely true!” Kazyia pointed out, laughing at Connie as the two started to argue.
