sister. He says" you just can’t run fast enough." “But that’s not my fault, the grass is too long for me to run in, you're a lot faster than me, being a boy." “Sorry! Says Mike, come on let’s go and see what we can find in the wood? So they set of walking towards the woods. It was a lovely day, the birds were singing, the sun was shinning, there was a slight breeze in the air, just enough to keep you cool. As they enter the woods, Sue sees quite a lot of insects flying around, she opens her mouth to catch her breath, and swallows one! She spits it out nearly choking," that was horrible, she says”, whilst using the sleeve of her dress to wipe her lips, spitting all the time to make sure the insect was definitely OUT. ”You always get lots of midges this time of year explains Mike, it’s nothing to worry about, you’ll get use to them, there are swarms all over the place”. “Yes! But they don’t taste very nice;” Just as she had finished moaning He whispers shush! Look over there? and see something beautiful. Walking further into the woods sue is looking all around, Mike was just picking up sticks and throwing them, kicking things on the ground and whistling to himself. She just ignores him; Sue likes looking at the different birds and admiring the creatures that live in the forest. She believes, that there is a God, and he made all things on this earth. Suddenly Mike stops! “You can rest here a while, I am going to climb that tree.” All right she says, looking down at an old log on the ground, thinking I’ll just sit here and wait; Sue looks up and sees Mike half way up the tree, then shouts! Be careful! Not noticing a big ant crawling up her leg. “I will, says Mike”. Suddenly Sue lets out a big Screech! “What’s wrong Mike asks, whilst descending from the tree at fast speed. "A big ant has just bit me on the leg and it hurts.” Mike drops down beside her to have a look at her leg, “oh it’s just a bite you will be fine, the swelling will go down, don’t worry too much. You stay there I’m going back up the tree, you'll be fine”. While he is climbing the tree, Sue looks for somewhere else to sit, walking about she suddenly feels unwell, sees a base of a big tree then quickly sits down. While sitting there she can hear the rustling of the leaves, creaking of branches with the odd leaf and twig falling to the ground, as Mike climbs the tree. Just then she notices a deer between the trees, but her vision starts to blur, she can feel herself drifting as she screws her eyes up, shakes her head and tries to open them. Feeling some thing on her leg, looks down and sees a little man in a green jacket with a very long beard, slowly her eyes close then she falls asleep. Sue! Sue! Wake up Sue, she opens her eyes, Mike is leaning over her, ah you’re awake now!” “Yes I am she says, but I’ve had the weirdest dream, I thought I saw a little man in a green jacket with a very long white beard,” both of them were looking at the bite on her leg, “he says look it’s gone?” “Yes says Sue that’s what I’ve been trying to tell you, the little man touched my bite and it disappeared?” Mike laughs!” There’s no such thing as little men in green jackets? “Yes there is and he fixed it”. Mike says don’t be silly, anyhow come on it’s getting late we have to make our way back home it will be dark soon". They both go back through the woods to their little cabin.
