You barely get out of the village when something tackles
you from behind. You scream and it falls to the ground. You breath
a sigh of relief when you see its only Mimi.
“Come on, sis, don’t scare me like that,” you say.
But you can see that she’s even more scared then you. You pick her up
then wonder where you both might hide.
You know of a few good places you could hide.
In the forbidden side of the forest is a cliff with thousands
of caves in its walls. You could hide in one of those. You are
certain no one would find you but you wonder if it might be dangerous.
There must be a reason why it’s forbidden. Besides you have never been
there before and don’t know what you might run into there. But, you
reason, you’ll only be there for one or two days, so what does it matter anyway?
Do you go hide in the caves? -24-
You also know that you could hide in the marshes.
They’re a ways away but you know people avoid that area if possible.
That would make it a good hiding place. Do you go to the marshlands?

Then again, neither of those choices appeals to you.
You know of a city nearby that you could go to. You could probably get
a job there and return later. Do you go to the city? -26-
