Michael hurriedly put on his clothes and slowly began walking towards the deer but the fawn sensed his presence and began moving away. Michael continued to follow the deer and after several hours found himself miles from the campsite. The deer eventually vanished into the dark woods and Michael was all alone.
"Hey kid" Michael looked all around to see where the voice came from but didn't see anything. "Up here", Michael glanced up to see a huge mountain lion sitting on a flat rock.
"What's your name kid?" the big cat asked. Michael hesitated, he'd seen plenty of talking animals in movies, but the real thing was a little weird.
"Michael... my name is Michael." "Nice to meet you, Michael. My name is Todd. What brings you to my neck of the woods? Todd asked.
"Well, I was following this deer and now I'm lost Michael replied simply." Todd the mountain lion should his head. "You are so lucky that you ran into me. Not everyone in this forest is as friendly as I am."
"What do you think I should do?" Michael asked the big cat. "Stay put. Eventually, your family will come looking for you." Michael found a flat stump to sit on and waited for his family. In the meantime Todd kept him entertained with stories of the many creatures that inhabited the mountains.
As the sun was beginning to set, Michael heard the noise of his family coming in his direction. "Over here!" he shouted and soon he was surrounded by a dozen family members. His mother gave Michael a big hug and asked him how he remained calm throughout the long day. Michael pointed up at the large flat rock where Todd had been stationed, but the big mountain lion was nowhere to be seen.
