Freedom from the zoo
One chilly morning a fox was curled up trying to get warm. The zoo was a poorly kept, and the animals only got the one feed a week. It was horrible to stay there.The fox was called Lila. There were icicles everywhere Lila’s friend Hazell, a squirrel popped her head up behind a dead willow tree “HI!!!!!!” She screamed, Lila jumped up in the air with surprise, “HAZELL!” shouted Lila. “Look I want to show you something” said Hazell “look over the fence”, They went over to the fence and looked over… bam! smash! boom! A big wrecking ball met their sight. “quick take cover behind the willow tree then boom!, the wrecking ball smashed the wall by Lila’s enclosure. “Lila let's go” said Hazell they zoomed out and into the wild… “look there's a big forest over there” said Lila. “let’s go hide in there” said Hazell. They ran and ran until they got to the forest. “Lets should get some rest and something to eat” said Lila. “I’ll go hunting for food” said Lila “and I’ll get some nuts for me” said Hazell. As They took off into the deep dark woods. When Lila found a nut tree she shouted to Hazell “ look I have found a nut tree and a nice hollow tree for us to sleep in!” but then she heard a terrible sound, GRRRR, drip, drip, drip, a big grizzly bear with slobber dripping from his mouth was standing over her. Hazell appeared then she saw the giant grizzly bear standing over her she went pale and then… “Ahhh!” she fainted and fell to the ground. Lila gently picked up Hazell and put her in the hollow tree and turned to face the big grizzly bear. She bared her teeth and got the bear a nut and… the bear took it and fled inhe the forest. “I will collect some dry grass and leaves for bedding” said Lila. By the time it was sunset they had a nice cosy warm and soft bed made out of dry grass, dry leaves and some feathers from Hazell’s friend a snow owl called Lily. They curled up and watched the sun set and slowly drifted off to sleep. In the morning Hazell went climbing up the nut tree to gather some nuts and Lila was collecting dry leaves and stitching them together with grass to make a blanket for them both, finally she was done, Lila called hazell “Come and look at the blanket I have made” “do you want to g to and get your friend lily, Hazell scampered off into the forest. A few moments later Lila heard a flapping sound and the a snow owl appeared with hazell riding on her back. “Lily” Lila yelled “hi Lily”, Hoot Hoot, hello you twooo” hootd, Lily the owl, “I was hoping for some feathers to do the finishing touches to this blanket” she held up the blanket to show Lily the blanket made out dry levers and stitched together with grass, “sure said Lily “I will do anything for my friends” “I miss the zoo” said Lila “are you sure Lila, I love it here it is the best place in the world” said Hazell “well I suppose so this is better than the zoo”said Lila “here’s some feathers” said Lily “thanks Lila said, they were white with tiny black dots all over it. Then when they wake up grasle bars were standing over them telling them to leave one of the 8 bears was the bear that they saw earlier in the week. “Humans are coming” one of them growled “go go go back to the zoo” so Hazell and Lila ran. Back to the zoo they went, through the bushes and jumped over the new fence and a beautiful enclosure waiting for a for a new fox and squirrel.
