To my students and all the adventures you are going to take! 

Once upon a time in the enchanted forest, there lived a curious little squirrel named Sammy. 

Sammy was not like the other animals in the forest. He wanted to explore more and see what else was out there in the world. 

One day, Sammy decided that he was finally going to go on his adventure to the big city. He had always dreamed of a bigger life with twinkling lights. He packed his favorite snacks and set off!

Sammy the squirrel passes through the enchanted forest and rushing waterfalls. 

After Sammy went through the enchanted forest and rushing waterfalls, he reached some tall mountains. There he met a wise wolf named Walter. He asked, "Where are you headed little guy?" 

Sammy responded, "I am going to the city where there are twinkling lights and so many adventures!" Walter the wolf replied, "Oh that's exciting, but be careful and watch out for the sneaky fox!"

Sammy thanked Walter the wolf and went on his way back on track to the city. He was feeling excited but also a little scared now. Suddenly, he was eye to eye with the sneaky fox Walter warned him about. "Who are you and why are you in my woods?" Freddy the fox asked. "I am Sammy the squirrel and I am going to the city." Sammy replied. "The city?! Oh, I can help you. It is this way!" Freddy exclaimed. Sammy was thankful that Freddy the sneaky fox was so helpful and started to go the way he directed him to go. 

 Sammy entered the creepy woods, and he realized that Freddy the sneaky fox guided him in the wrong direction. He was so scared! He found a hidden trail that guided him away from the creepy woods and back on the right path to the big city. 

 Sammy the squirrel was pleased when he found himself in a magical meadow with friendly peers. He knew he was now on the right path again to the big city! Thomas the turtle stated, "I've never seen you before. Are you lost?" Sammy replied, "No, I am headed to the city!" "Ahhh, you are not too far then. It is right past the Gilbert's house." Thomas the turtle exclaimed. "That is great news! Thank you!" said Sammy. 

 Sammy the squirrel passes through the Gilbert's yard, and he knew that he was close. He could hardly contain his excitement!
