OY O
a night in the forest Are there lots of savage wild animals Jake asked Yeah and what about monsters Jay said excited and frightened at the same time The trio’s twittering amused Red There isn’t anything more terrifying out here than that little frog over there And besides you have me to protect you And I’ve never been afraid of anything in my life Red proclaimed puffing out his chest This declaration made Jim Jake and Jay glance at each other Never been afraid of anything We’ll have to do something about that Jim whispered to the others giggling The sun was already beginning to go down as they finally arrived at the campsite Red had chosen Red turned around to start issuing orders to set up camp only to find the brothers had disappeared Not again he said a pig from the stars and other stories 7
