It was a chilly dawn at the forest that never ends. The gurgle of the nearby stream and the sound of the singing trees, lulled the tired pixies to sleep. However, Mr.Woody Woodpecker was pecking away at a gigantic redwood tree, one sliver of bark at a time, just like he would want his troubles to go away.
In the distant east, a band of scrawny runaway girls were making merry in the dead of the night, singing the tunes of the forest and dancing to the rhythm of the humming leaves. Alice, in her feather cap and leafy clothes walked away from the merry band of girls and just walked, not wanting to return. She needed new friends who would care for her.
Now, Alice had walked miles and miles, in circles, squares and triangles and her stomach was growling in hunger.She was resting under a nearby redwood tree and she heard " Knock Knock Knock Knock", Mr. Woody pecking away at the top of the tree. " Mr. Woody, Mr Woody... Please come down, I want to speak to you" called Alice and the knocking stopped. Mr. Woody flew down to the patch of grass where Alice was sitting. " Yes my dear girl, what do you need?" asked Woody and Alice replied " I need an apple and a friend".
" I can give you an apple, but I can't be your friend" said Woody and a forlorn Alice asked " why not, Mr Woody?".
Woody let out a heavy sigh... " because I tend to get too close to people, Alice and then they go away. I don't want you to go away so you can sit here and I'll fly back up and let's just be".
" Mr. Woody!" Alice called him back as she reached out for his beak.
" You don't have to be alone, because I was once like you,lost, but now I found you. We can give strength to each other and care for each other too".
Alice hugged Mr. Woody and they ate an apple together basking in the morning sunlight, leaking through the spaces between the dense redwood leaves.
It was a beautiful morning at the forest that never ends and the pixies all danced merrily.
