Tim loved the countryside. Every day in the summer, he ran through the field. The fields were full of bright flowers red, brown and purple. All the flowers began to blossom and he missed the busy city even though it was not as quiet and peaceful there.

At night, Tim went to the woods to see Arslan. They sat together, looking at the beautiful stars and listening to the night. Sometimes, she ran off to catch a wild bear and deer.

Tim worried that someone might find Arslan. During the day, she hid in the big bushes. At night she hunted for food because it was much safer.

One night Tim heard a loud growl and a scream.  He ran into the forest as fast as he could and saw Arslan,

ready to attack. A boy named Tom stood shaking anxiously. Tim whispered. He held out a piece of meat  to calm Arslan. Tom ran away as fast as could.

Tim‘s heart raced. Now the secret was exposed. That night Mrs Emily and Tim made a plan. Was  their plan going to work?
