The Childrens Magical Adventures

They had been struggling up the slope for about 35 minutes when a low squeaky voice greeted them by saying “Good morning. Where are you going?” Stopping dead in their tracks the children looked all around them but could not see anyone. Again they heard the low squeaky voice, “Down here. I’m down here.” Looking down their eyes were greeted by the sight of the small head of a red squirrel looking up at them and wearing what appeared to be a white coat and purple hat. “Mr. and Mrs. Field mouse asked me to watch out for you. It was Kaya who, surprised and astounded, was the first to speak and ask the obvious question, “Why can we hear what you are saying, animals can‘t talk? “We’ve had the ability for many years but kept it secret because humans are not ready for this knowledge. Your great king Arthur knew a magician called Merlin who cast a spell to help us understand your kind. Since then only a few young humans have ever had the ability to talk with us.” Brushing down the front of her straight white full length dress fashioned by her mother out of a discarded curtain that had once hung over the window in the bedroom of their old home Jade enquired, “Why have you waited to talk to us when Kaya and I have been talking to you for ages and ages?” the squirrel ran up the side of the nearby Fir tree, stopping on a small branch and stated that they wanted to before now, but Merlin’s spell prevented it, but after they had performed the spell everything would become clear to only them. The wise old owl that lived nearby had told him to bring them to him so he could explain everything. Asa who had been relatively quiet came up with the idea that they return home until the following morning because he was getting hungry and didn't’t want mother telling them off for being late in. Quickly arrangements were made to meet Sammy in the morning and to go to meet the Owl, plus all three children had to swear to never telling any other person of what they had discovered that day.
