He sat on the branches opposite. For all his life he had been scared. Scared to do anything. He had been the last to learn to climb. The last to leave his mother's side. The last to hunt on his own (something he still had much trouble doing, and usually tricked others into doing it for him).

But now he was trapped. There was fire consuming the forest around him, and his only hope was to leap to the trees on the other side of the river. It was a mighty jump. A heroic leap. Everyone else had tried and made it, but now here he was, in the last tree, with flames threatening all around.

All his life he had been scared, and he was terrified now. They called to him, but he cowered. He couldn't do it. He wouldn't. He would burn here and it would be a fitting end for his fears and cowardice.

Then, crashing down right beside him came a burning log, and it made such a noise, and sheered the branch beside him clean off.

He panicked.


He jumped.
