Within a minute, I noticed an elephant walking toward us. My thoughts wandered to how many more animals there were in this forest, but she drew me back and dashed toward the elephant.
I was iinitially scared to see her run towards the elephant, but then I realized she is familiar with all of the animals in the forest. I laughed at her childish behavior because she is my forest fairy. I assumed she understood how animals communicate.
She turned and motioned for me to approach her. I walked slowly, amazed by the elephant.
"My friend, Daniel." She spoke cheerfully.
I was determined not to share my fear with her. "I don't have as many friends as you." I couldn't tell where or which animal would appear next in that dense forest. I looked around and smiled at her.
I believe she recognized my fear by the way I looked and smiled. So she reached the point where I had started. "I remind you that there is no one in this forest except us." She looked at me as she softly kissed the elephant.
