THE PATH
Julie Goodwin

One day I was sitting at home. I was really bored so I decided to go for a walk. I got up, put my coat and boots on, walked out the door. I thought I would take a walk through the woods. I saw a path and got curious so I started along the path. It had nice green grass and a lot of flowers. I kept on walking and saw twig shaped like a hand. It freaked me out. I kicked it away from me.

As I was walking I saw ahead of me a fallen tree trunk. I had an idea. I looked in my pocket. I had a whole bunch of nails in a bag. I found a rock and a lot of strong branches. I made a ladder to climb over the trunk. When I got over to the other side I kept on following the path until I came to a fork. I took the right path because it looked nicer than the other one which looked scary. I started walking down the nice path.

I was walking when a big brown bear walked in front of me and sat down. It started staring at me and smelling me. Then he licked me on the face. I laughed because I thought bears were scary but this bear wasn't. He was the friendliest bear I'd ever seen. We became friends and started walk down the path. We came to a wooden wall and heard an noise so I climbed on to the bear's back and looked over the wall trying to see what the noise was.

It was my mom looking for me.
