I am a drum that has been beaten
on for two years. Every ycar my
owner goes through out the woods.
Every year I sec the same thing, the
trees bare, snow flakes falling, the
wind blowing, not a thing stirring.
As I wcnt out to the forest this
year, the leaves wcrc on trees, no
snowflakes only a light gentle
Wind. Everything was peaceful.
But Adroply my owner, stopped
beating, he heard a scream. Ile ran
deeper in the wools and then, the
trees went bare, snowflakes came
down, and a heavy wind started to
pickup. Thcn my owner stopped
running and he saw a little angel
tied to a tree. She was in a white
cloth just like the snow with a
Halo over her head. My owner was
Speechless.

My owner walked closer and closer.
When he was about two steps
away, thc little angel disappeared .
My owner touched -the tree. He felt
something, it was the angel . She
re -appeared on the tree. It was shy.
My owner untied the ropes on thc

A miracle of Christmas
By Sarah Tickner
It was December 19th and the
Greenwood forest animals were get-
ting all the Christmas decorations
up. Each animal had a job to do,
they had a chart that had all the ani-
mals names that kept track of all the
jobs being done. Jobs: Christmas
trees, Sparrows, Browny Bear,
Bouncy Bunny, Wilma Weasel. Dec-
orations: Bobby Bear:, Foxy Fox,
Timmy Turtle. Games: Elky Elk,
Wilma Wilabce, Skinky Skunk. In
charge: Owly Owl.
All thc animals signed up. But
where's Baby Bunny and her family?
Owly Owl the president calls a
meeting to the Great Oak where the
cart is placed. "We are gathered here
to find out where Baby Bunny and
her family arc "I know where they
are" said someone, "Who said that"
asked Wilma Weasel. It was such a
weak sound that only the animals
with sharp hearing could hear it. "I
said it" cried the little voice. "I did
the reason why you can't hardly see
or hear me is because I'm so small.
My name is Mrs. Mouse and Baby
Bunny is very sick so sick he
might, she might. "Don't say such
bad things cried Baby Bear. "She's
my friend in fact she's my best
friend and I don't believe it" and a
little tear fell from his little brown
eyes, "Come and sec" said Mrs.
Mouse "Follow me", so all the ani-
mals followed Mrs. Mouse deep into
the woods to a burrow at the bottom
of a big oak tree.
"Baby Bunny is in there in bed,
poor little thing, she looks so sick"
said Mrs. Mouse walking into the
burrow with a sad look on her face
telling three small animals to follow
her. Cccily Squirrel, Chippy Chip-
munk and Wilma Wilabec were the
animals that went into see Baby
Bunny, she was lying on the bed
sleeping with a wet cloth on her
forehead. Cecily Squirrel suddenly
runs over to the side of the bed fol-
lowed by the others. "Shhh" said
Chippy "You're going to wake her
up. "Poor little thing and it's only
six days until Christmas, if she
doesn't get better she might have to
go to Greenwood Hospital and miss
Christmas" says Mrs. Mouse. "That
would be the most terrible thing that
has ever happened in Greenwood
Forest, one of the baby animals
missing onc of the hest holidays"
"You know what we need?" says
Wilma Wilabce "What- "A mira-
cle". -
It was two days until Christmas
and Baby Bunny still wasn't any
better. All the decoctions were up
but it wasn't any fun for anyone
without, Baby. The animals
stopped by every day to bring her
lot's of things that she likes car-
rots, lettuce and lot's more. But she
still wasn't any better. The next day
the animals stopped by and it was
Dec. 24. "Oh no" shouted Chippy
Chipmunk when he looked at the
calendar "It's Christmas tomorrow!"
"Oh no" groaned everybody what if
she still isn't bcttcr: "Well, we'll
just have to wait until tomorrow"
said Mrs. Mouse with a very sad
look on her face. The next day was
Christmas and every little baby ani-
mal woke up with happy grins. Ex-
cept for Mrs. Mouse, Wilma Wila-
bee, Baby Bunnies, parents and all
the other older animals. But when

they came out of. their houses they
saw Baby Bunny under the Green-
wood forest square Christmas tree
'gazing at a huge, gigantic star, the
biggest, star the animals had ever
seen.
The biggest surprise was seeing
Baby Bunny standing there under
the tree. They all ran, over to Baby
Bunny but she didn't move it
seemed to be the star was holding
him under a trance. "Baby Sunny"
cried Mr. and Mrs. Bunny and they
ran up to her and hugged and kissed
her when a tear dropped onto her
little bunny car when she suddenly
sprang into her father's arms. "Oh
Baby Bunny we're so glad to sec
you walking around again" shouted
r
all the animals. "But how did you
get better all of a sudden and what
are your doing out here"! "Well"
said baby Bunny "I don't know how
I got sick but all of a sudden I was
under complete control by that star
and the next thing I knew was that
I came out here and was standing
next to this tree,but the good news
is we're all happy and we'll be to-
gether this Christmas after that and
forever. " "That's right Baby Bun-
ny" and they all walked to forest
Hall to celebrate Christmas. And
all lived happily ever after!
But we still don't know if that
star had to do with recovering Batty
Bunny or do we? What do you
think? The End
