Young Boy In The Woods

A young boy had moved with his parents from the city to the country and didn't know if you would like living here because there wasn't any malls or arcaids but mainly he had to leave all his friends and learning how to live here wasn't going to be simple. He had an open mind about it all though and he knew if he could find one thing that he could enjoy doing here he would be fine so when they arrived and was settled in he got up the next morning and went outside, looked around and began walking around his house. He saw the highway that ran past his home he saw an open field but what got his attention was the forest area that sat behind his home so he went back inside packed up some sandwhiches in his backpack and found his mother and said. "Mom I'm going for a walk" the mother knew he was having a hard time adjusting simply said "Okay Billy but don't go too far." The boy stepped out of the house and began letting his feet carry him, he was in the woods and was exploring for himself all the places that the forest held in store, he looked around more than once to enjoy it's splendor, lost his breath a few times when a squirrell jumped off a branch and was taken by surprise by a few quail that was hiding in the brush. Billy was so taken with the forest he forgot to look behind himself a few times to see how far he had come but when he heard the highway in the other direction he knew he could find his way home but he hated to, but seeing how he had exhausted his supply of sandwhiches and his pants was wet from the rain they had night before he turned back and walked back hom. Billy learned a great deal in these woods as he grew he learned to sneak up on animales he learned to know the signs of animals and the certain kinds of breezes that meant rain, or snow. He learned to hunt and fish the stream that came through the property, but mostly he learned to love and respect nature in a way that outdoorsman and conservationalist hunters do, there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for nature now that he had it deep within his heart.
