Book Cover & Preview Text
We saw a few adults and children walking through the cornfields towards the forest,” chirped the sparrows. “Yes, the humans are defiantly coming to the forest.”
The fox and the bear cub gasped in surprise. The chipmunk stopped dancing and nervously paced up and down the fallen tree trunk. The fawn giggled anxiously, and the squirrel and the owl had deep frowns on their faces. They were very worried.
“Do you know why these humans are on their way?” asked the squirrel.
“No, we don’t,” twittered one of the sparrows. “We did notice that they have large bags with them.”
“Do they have axes and saws with them?” asked the owl, her voice trembling with anxiety.
"We couldn’t see any,” replied the sparrows. “We circled around a few times, but we couldn’t tell if they had axes or saws.”
“Are the villagers coming to chop down the trees?” asked the fox. This was very alarming.
