"I Noticed Something"

The Pine friends always look forward to forest days and today was no exception. About halfway through their play, M yelled from across the forest,

"Hey, I noticed something! I need to show you a secret thing."

M walked through the forest ducking under branches & pushing others out of his way. 

"If you look over here this log goes all the way up."

M carefully climbed up onto the log making sure he still had the large stick in his hand. He seemed to use it as a guide. 

"Nobody has ever climbed up this tree, but I'm going to!"

M started walking across the log. He stepped over the crisscrossing branches in the way of his route. M used the stick to balance himself as he walked. 

M stopped for a moment and pointed straight ahead. 

"It goes all the way over there to that tree. I'm going to climb there."

M walked a little farther and stopped again. 

"I'm afraid of heights, I think I am going to get down now."

M was intrigued by the log reaching across the forest. He looked lat the other side of the log with interest and decided that he was going to try again another day.
