Jasmine and the Wennbar
The frosty grass surrounds Jasmine’s small bare feet. She tiptoed through the silent forest, then suddenly, out of darkness of the night a small yelp sliced through the air. Jasmine ran to find the small creature. Out of nowhere, she caught a glimpse of a big beast with black dripping teeth.

Then, she saw a small fluffy creature paralysed on the ground. Immediately, she pulled the potion out of her pocket and fed it to the small creature whom she called Filly. From out of the distance the Wennbar, baring his enormous black teeth, pounced on the little girl.

As Jasmine screamed and fought back, the once paralysed creature, Filly, distracted the Wennbar by dancing beside him. When the time came, Jasmine squirmed out from beneath the savage beast. With Filly safely in her arms, Jasmine scrambled up into her small, ragged tree house.
