Ellie
I was running through the forest, feeling the sun on my back and the wind in my ears.
I loved days like this!
I could hear birds singing and water splashing in the distance.
I was having so much fun, I didn’t want to stop.
"Ellie! Wait up!"
Mom called out to me.
I turned around and saw Mom and Dad coming through the trees.
I slowed down until they caught up to me.
"What are you doing? Running away from us?"
Dad asked.
"No," I said.
"I just wanted to see how fast I could go. I didn’t mean to leave you behind."
I looked down at my feet and scuffed the dirt.
"You can run as fast as you want, but always remember that we are here to protect you. It’s not safe to be alone in the forest," Mom said gently.
"I know. Sorry."
I looked up at them with big, sorry eyes.
"Want to come see what I found?"
I asked excitedly.
"Okay," they said together.
I took off running again, leading them to a big log that had fallen over a long time ago.
The bark was gone in many places, and it was grayish brown like the dirt.
When I got there, I stopped and waited for Mom and Dad to catch up.
I crouch down near the fallen log, my trunk carefully brushing aside loose leaves and twigs.
Mom and Dad lean in close behind me, their shadows falling over the spot I'm examining.
Under the log's curved edge, nestled in a small hollow, I see three cream-colored eggs no bigger than berries.
They're speckled with brown dots and perfectly round.
I reach out with my trunk to touch one, but Dad gently blocks my way.
"Careful, sweetie," he whispers.
"Those eggs belong to someone."
Mom points out tiny claw marks in the dirt around the nest.
I sit down beside the log, my trunk curled close to my body so I don't touch the eggs by accident.
Dad settles down next to me, his large body dwarfing the nest.
"Birds make different kinds of nests," he explains.
"Some birds build their nests on the ground, while others make them in trees."
Mom points at the little tracks leading away from the nest.
"The mother bird might come back soon," she says quietly.
We stay very still, watching the nest from a safe distance.
Suddenly, a small brown bird lands on a nearby branch.
She hops along the branch, her head turning this way and that, looking for something.
She sees her nest and flies down to it.
But she doesn't land right away.
Instead, she hops around the nest carefully, checking to make sure everything is okay.
After a few seconds, she seems satisfied and settles down onto her eggs.
"Why did she leave the nest in the first place?" I whisper, my eyes wide with curiosity.
"Sometimes they leave to find food or to distract predators," Dad replies softly, watching the bird intently.
"But there's something else," Mom adds, her voice barely above a whisper. "The forest is changing, and she might be looking for a safer place."
I watch the mother bird for a while longer.
She tucks her wings close to her body and settles down on top of the eggs.
After a few minutes, she dozes off, her head resting on her feathers.
I whisper to Mom and Dad that I want to see what else we can find.
Dad looks up at the leaves above us and checks the position of the sun.
Mom scans the area ahead of us, making sure it's safe.
I take a slow step backward from the log, placing my feet carefully so I don't crunch any leaves.
The bird doesn't stir.
We turn away quietly, leaving the forest to its secrets.
While walking away from the bird's nest, I hear a deep rumble from far away.
My ears perk up, and I stop mid-step.
Dad freezes too, his trunk raised to test the air.
Mom moves closer to me, her eyes scanning the forest ahead.
I start to ask what made the sound, but Dad holds up his trunk for me to be quiet.
We stand still, listening.
Another roar rolls through the trees.
It sounds different from the usual forest noises - deeper and longer.
"What is that, Dad?" I whisper, my voice trembling slightly.
"It's the sound of the river," he replies, a hint of concern in his eyes. "But it's louder than it should be."
Mom nods, her gaze fixed on the distant trees. "The rains must have swollen it beyond its banks."
