One day I went for a walk down the street. I was hungry so I stopped at a food stand and got a lemonade and a hotdog with mustard. While I was eating and walking, I noticed some woods in the distance. When I got to the woods, I decided to enter the forest. I was a little frightened at first, but then I saw some squirrels and wild flowers. I kept walking and looking around and I felt adventurous and happy to be there. I saw some terrific birds, rabbits, deer, and many different kinds of plants that I had never seen before. It suddenly occurred to me that if I walked any further I might get lost or, worse yet, see a bear. So I decided to turn around and walk back home, but right in front of me was the thing I feared – a bear! All I could think of to do was to run, and that is what I did. I ran all the way home as fast as my legs could carry me. As soon as I got home, I decided not to ever go in those woods again.
