“Who’s up for an adventure?” daddy asked as he joined us at the 

picnic.

“Where are we going Daddy?” harry asked with his mouth half full.

“We are going for a walk in the woods” Daddy said as Harry and I 

gleamed with joy.

“Yay!” we exclaimed as we all finished our food quickly. 

“It’s so pretty!! “ I gushed as we started walking down the little 

pathway.

“Daddy! This is so girlie, I thought we were going on an 

adventure, not looking for fairies,” Harry’s complaints echoed 

through the forest

“But Harry we are on an adventure, we are taking care of Stella 

and mummy, that’s a big responsibility. Do you think you can 

handle that big man?” Daddy asked as Harry nodded proudly.

“I want to catch butterflies” I exclaimed as little colourful 

insects flew everywhere around me.

“Be careful honey, don’t go too far” mummy said as she 

watched Harry and I chase butterflies all around the little 

paddock. 

This one beautiful butterfly caught my eye. It had beautiful 

wings with different colours and patterns on it.   I followed it as 

it flew freely deeper into the forest.

Before I knew it I was Lost 

“Mummy! Daddy!” I yelled as I tried to find any trace of my 

family. 

But they were know where to be found 

Suddenly I heard the bushes nearby moving.

I was going to scream “Monster!” when a little boy probably 

my age or a bit older came out of the bush.

“You scared me!” I exclaimed as he got closer.

“I’m sorry, my name is Amaroo. What’s yours?”

“Hi I’m Stella” I said shyly as I fidgeted with my hair.

“What are you doing here, by yourself Stella?” he asked as he 

threw curious glances at me.

“I was walking through the woods when I lost my mummy, 

daddy and Harry. I don’t know where they are.” I sobbed as 

tears freely streamed down face.

“Please don’t cry. How about this? If you stop crying I will give 

you one of my delicious berries”Amaroo said as he extended 

his hands to reveal some delicious berries. 

`

As I stuffed my face with the berries, I heard the echoing of 

chant, coming from deep in the forest.

“What’s that noise?” I squeaked tugging his arm.

“Oh that’s just my family; we are having a celebration for my 

sister’s 13th birthday. Do you want to come and see?” Amaroo 

offered kindly

“Yes please!” I exclaimed jumping up and down with 

excitement

As we travelled deeper into the forest, the sound became 

clearer, until we reached an opening where there was a large 

group of people celebrating.

They were covered in body paint, and were wearing different 

clothes to what Harry and I usually wear.

Amaroo lead me over to three people that looked similar to 

him.
