Boo

Bub perked his ears up at the suggestion to trot into the trees, they had been beckoning to him for a few days now. He had imagined what lived in them, maybe some colorful, tasty bugs or pretty flowers he had never seen before. But what if they found a bear three times the size of him? He visibly shuddered at the thought. The big, black ones that could eat him in one bite, or that’s what Mommy had told him, anyways.

Mommy probably just didn’t want him to get lost, he thought.

“Yeah, let’s do it, we will be back before Mother even notices!” he exclaimed, moving his tail in fast swishes side to side.

Bub took the lead, padding over to the large, green trees. There’s no such thing as bears.
