tracks in the sand

Fortune grinned at him, and he looked at his brothers with a smile. That was right, he already knew their teacher. How smart was he? Tail wagging, he turned back to the older woman when she said that they were going to follow tracks. Fable bounced where he stood, letting out an excited bark before her lesson even began. She asked them how to move without making sound, and the boy faltered slightly. He wasn’t very good at being silent at all, his paws were too big and he liked to make sounds too much. So he said nothing, and she went in detail about they had to walk. His eyes flew open wide as he watched her walk with fascination, her paws made no sound at all! Valor jumped up before he could do anything though, so he forced himself to sit down when his brother went first. He wanted Fortune to pay attention to him when he was doing it, and that was worth waiting for. The boys black legs wobbled, and he smiled at how silly he looked walking with stiff legs. That wasn’t how Fortune did it! He sat up to try, but once again he was beaten out by his brother. Pouting, he sat back down and let Knight have a go. His brother didn’t wobble as much, but his first two steps were almost perfect. Fable eyed him a bit jealously, but pushed the feeling away. It was good that his brothers were going well, too! When finally his spotted litter mate grew still, he knew that it was finally his turn. Leaping forward, he landed with a thud. Looking to his brothers, he shook his head. That wasn’t his try, no way! He was going to be the best, he had to be. He needed to show Fortune that he was good and a smart boy. Sliding his front paws forward, Fable started to move forward without even lifting his paws off the ground. If he didn’t raise them up, then he wouldn’t have to be so quiet with putting them back! So he shuffled forward a few paces, hardly making any sound at all! Raising his head, he proudly looked over to Fortune. But that is when the burn caught up with him, his paw pads still not quite as tough as adults. Wide eyed, he raised his front right paw to see that he had actually cut it on a stone that had been sticking out of the ground. His ears clung to his head, letting out a soft whine as he lifted his paw to show the adult. He had a boo-boo. |
