Peter watched with a smile as the bird flew up into the sky, circling above the hunters.
Come on, Peter, get to work. Peter thought. The reason the bird is flying up in the sky is so that you can have more time to save the others.
Peter looked around, but did not see any other cages. Weird, Peter thought, where are the other cages? They can't just disappear out of nowhere.
Suddenly, Peter heard a faint cry. As he listened closely, it wasn't even a cry, it was a meow! And there was only one animal that Peter knew that could meow like that. It was the cat! Peter listened again. The noise seemed to be coming from the truck.
Of course! Peter thought. THe other animals were probably already loaded into the truck!
Peter hurried to the truck, running as fast as his little legs could carry him. As he was running, he turned back to see the bird. It was starting to slow down, and lose energy. Peter ran even faster.
When Peter arrived at the truck, he was thankful that it was not locked. Using all of his strength, he pulled the cover of the truck, only to reveal darkness. Wow, Peter thought. The truck sure is pretty big. Thank goodness I brought my flashlight.
Reaching into his pocket, Peter pulled out the bulky flashlight. He squinted as he turned the bright light on. Right in front of him, sat the wolf, duck and cat, trapped in metal cages. They all had shocked expressions on their faces, just like the bird.
Without a word, Peter rushed to the duck’s cage first. He took out his lockpicking kit and started to pick the lock. Once he heard the click, he let the duck out, and did the same with the others. When it came to Andrea the wolf’s cage, she clenched her teeth and snarled at Peter, but soon relaxed her body and allowed Peter to set her free. Once set free, Andrea said, “Get away from my children. You are working with the hunters, aren't you?”
“Um, obviously not. I just saved your lives” Peter replied. “Hurry up, we ain't got a lot of time left.”
Andrea was hesitant at the start, but soon gave in and reluctantly followed PEter.
Geez, she is one stubborn one. Peter thought.
After getting off the truck, Peter gasped. The bird that was flying was now stuck in a tree. Oh no, Peter thought, I must take action now. Without even thinking he ran towards the hut and flashed his flashlight at the hunters, despite it being daytime. He told the wolf, cat and duck to stay behind. IN an instant, he caught all of the hunters’ attention.
One hunter ordered “he set free all of the animals! Get him”“Wait, hold on.” Peter shouted. “I just wanted to talk”“Oh yea, what do you want to say?” asked one hunter. “I just want to ask, why are you capturing these animals? They are all innocent and have committed nothing at all!” Peter cried, ignoring the dramatic gasp from the wolf.
“Well, here is where you are proven wrong, little boy. That wolf, was said to have left the three kids alone for a one year holiday. This is absolutely unacceptable, since there was no guardian at all. These kids could have been in danger, which is why we are taking the wolf away.”
“Well, if that is your argument, you are very wrong,” said someone. ‘They all swung their heads backwards. And Peter gasped in joy at the sight in front of him.
