Teddy's Adventure

One morning Teddy woke up bright and early. He told his mother he was going to go out walking on the mountain near his home. His mother agreed end told him to be back before dark. She gave him some food and helped him put on some warm clothes.

Shortly after he started to walk he saw some wolves ahead of him at the bottom of the mountain on the other side of a forest. He was really curious about the wolves, so he started down the hill to follow them. He walked through the thick dark forest, and when he got to the other side of the forest he saw the wolves eating something on the tundra. There he stopped and watched them eat and play. As it got dark he kept on watching the wolves. Then he finally decided to walk back home.

But when he started to walk through the thick forest he got lost. He couldn't find his way back out so he tried to remember which way he had come in. He sat down and ate some food because he was hungry. He had to keep his mind and body flowing so he wouldn't get too tired.

When he was done eating he began walking again until he found the little trail he started on. When he finally got out of the forest he was so happy he ran the rest of the way home. When he told his mother about what happened, she said not to walk through the forest again. He agreed and decided to walk only on the tundra areas from that day on.
