The Forest Animals (version 2)

Once she got far away from the tea party, Wendy looked back and said, "Well, I've had enough nonsense! I'm going home! Straight home!"

As she began walking away, she said, "That meerkat. Who cares where he's going anyway? Why, if it hadn't been for him, I..."

She stopped talking when she noticed a gray sign that had "Enchanted Forest" written on it in black letters. "Enchanted Forest. Hmm, curious. I don't remember this." she said, as she turned away from the sign, unaware of two crows, who were wearing glasses, staring at her.

"Now, let me see."

One of the crows jumped on Wendy's face, and she gasped when she spotted a blackbird named Hortense, who was holding a mirror in her wing. When she looked into it, Hortense looked like she was wearing glasses because of the crow.

She placed the crow on the tree branch next to Hortense as she said, "Uh, no, no, please. No more nonsense."

She walked past them, and came up to a log as she said, "Now, if I came this way. I should go back this way!"

She climbed over the log and accidently stepped on a duck as she said, "Quack!"

"Oh, I beg your pardon!" Wendy said, as the duck and her five ducklings went over to a lake. The ducklings jumped in the water and paddled away as the duck said, "Quack, quack, quack, quack!"

She then jumped in the water, and followed her ducklings.

The ripples in the water woke up a frog, who was holding a drum, and a toad, who was holding a pair of cymbals, and they jumped on waterlilies as they played the drum and cymbals.

As Wendy stepped on the stepping stones, she said, "Goodness. When I get home, I shall write a book about this place. If I...If I ever do get home."

Then she looked over a log to see six pink birds taking a shower in a small waterfall.

"Oh, umm, excuse me!" she said, as she got the pink birds' attention, "Um, could one of you tell me..."

She was interrupted when the pink birds screeched as they flew away, sat on a tree branch above Wendy, and glared down at her. She chuckled nervously as she said, "Uh. Haha. Never mind."

As she wandered around through the forest, she said, "Oh dear. It's getting dreadfully dark. And nothing looks familiar."

She looked to her left to see a beaver, who was digging through the dirt with its claws. "I shall certainly be glad to get out of..."

She tried to say something else, but she bumped into Mrs. Magpie, who was holding a bird cage with two yellow birds inside it. Mrs. Magpie opened the cage door, and the yellow birds ran out. Mrs. Magpie chased after them, and she it them in the cage as the yellow birds landed inside the bird cage.

Then Dr. Albert E. Owl, who was holding an accordion, woke up and hooted. As it flew down at Wendy, she ducked, and then Dr. Owl flew away, still playing the accordion.

"It would be so nice if something would make more sense for a change." Wendy said.

Moments later, she came across Tiny, J.C., Marty, and Cody nailing gray signs to a tree with hammers, and Joanna, Rebecca, and Mimi wrote words on each sign in black letters with pencils.

As they walked away, Wendy looked at the signs, and said, "Don't step on the field mice. The field mice?"

Suddenly, A bunch of field mice popped out of the ground, circled around Wendy, and got together to form an arrow as they hopped. Wendy looked ahead to see the field mice pointing at a path as she said, "Oh! A path!"

As she ran down the path, a vision of Meg appeared in sepia. Wendy said, "Oh, thank goodness. Why, I just knew I'd find one sooner or later! Oh. If I hurry back, I might even be home in time for dinner with my parents Hercules and Meg and my brothers Skippy and Piglet!" Then a vision of Marie also appeared in sepia as she said, Oh, won't Marie be happy to see me! Oh, I just can't wait till I...Oh!"

She stopped when she saw Maruse the moose sweeping the path away with a broom in his mouth. He stopped, walked behind Wendy, and continued to sweep the path.
