The herd galloped across creeks, jumped over fallen trees, and waded through cold, calm rivers. When they reached the warmer climate, bugs and insects flew from trees and attached themselves to the dears’ bodies, and crawling over them. Birds waved their wings as they left their nest to welcome the tired travelers to their new home. Turkeys kicked leaves from side to side, searching for something to eat. Rabbits hopped about, and groundhogs ran from den to den as the sun drifted slowly over the mountain. In their new home Archie closed his eyes and pretended many wonderful things. “It’s not so bad being hurt,” he whispered. “I can pretend I'm playing with my friends, galloping through the forest, or that I’m helping Mr. Ground Hog build a cozy den for the winter.”
