Seala and a small pup walked up to a small hole in the ground nest to a small stream. not very deep, freashwater, and full of fish and the forest was litterd with with friendly animals. A female racoon was on the branches of an old oak tree. "hello there seala!" said kisha, the racoon. "why hello kisha! what brings you out and about this time of day? "tommy squrill was at it again. he got tromatized by a squrill dog. you know, the ones that hunt squrills." ha ha! he'll never learn." "ha ha! you're right there! so whos that small cute little fluff ball you have there?" i found her in the middle of the valley. no mum nor pa there with her. "aw, poor thing. must be abbandoned. well, i'll see ya later seala!" good bye kisha! see? the creatures here are friendly. i'm sure you'll like it here.

Seala put Kaya by the river. this place is a pup's heaven. you can play in the river and swim with the fish. no one can teach you how to swim better then the fish themselfs! you can also run around with Kisha the racoon's kids. they know when they have to be gentle and they're a lot of fun to play with. meanwhile i'll see if i can get you something to eat. Seala went in the den, make a small bed for kaya and left to a feild with a herd of elk with rock solid skin in the shape of a small bowl.

a small group of 5 racoon children came down a tree. they were about the size of kaya. 'hi!" one said. "im Jik. this is meale," 'hi!" 'joyce," "yo!' 'carnoe" "nice to meet you' "and lialoyo." "wecome to the forest! want to play tag?"

the small racoons looked at eatchother. "whats wrong?" carnoe asked.she was a kind little girl, who was afraid they said something wrong.

'......we'll let you settle in. we'll come back later." the racoons started playing their into the forest. the sun shone on kaya. the sunlight made a path into the forest. everything but kaya and the path seemed to drop away.

the path disssaperd and everything was back to normal.

seala was returning from a sucsesful trip to her good friend, margert the elk. she had kindly shared him milk when she heard a young pup had been found with no mother or father. seala went into the clearing. she knew something hed been here. a great chance... and it was turned down. "youg pup! young pup i have some milk for you!"

seala put the bowl down. well here it is when u want it...i'll be in the den.. Seala enterd the den sadly, but she didnt show it.
