“HI MY NAME IS ROBB”. “I was a hermit; every day I ran away from what I am now. I am not scared now. Now I am happy. I have no fear of what I had before. Life is easy and I have something exciting that is happening. My wife is having a baby. I never thought she would have a baby. In fact, I have never had a wife before so I got really excited”.

My story starts when I was a kid, as everyone is when they are young. I didn’t understand what people were doing so I got really scared of people and I ran away and hid from them. I always thought they were trying to catch me but it turns out that they were doing what they were doing. When it was time for me to leave I thought that I was still able to live in the house that I was living in. Well, it wasn’t really a house, it was a cave. Once they started taking my friends away, I wasn’t happy so I decided to see what they were doing. I followed them back and I heard them saying that they were going to chop down the whole forest that I was living in. I took their caution tape and put it all around the forest. I got danger signs and put them around the forest too, but the people took them down. I took my scary bear friend and I went after them. I found out that it was what they were supposed to be doing but I didn’t think it was right. I thought it was destroying where I lived.

I went back again and started taking my friends with me. We started pulling down the poles of the crane and the crane fell over and it was destroying the city. I kind of felt bad for all the people but it was revenge for destroying my home. I walked around the fallen crane and I saw a lady. She was stuck underneath the crane. I helped her out and then she kissed me. I went back to my home and put on a campfire. Later that night she came through the forest and helped me with the campfire. She brought some marshmallows and we ate them over the together. When she went home I was sad. So then I knew what I had to do.

The next day I went up to her front door and rang the bell. She opened the door and I came in. I stayed with her for the day and then I left. That afternoon I saw a man in black with a big bag running out of a jewelry shop. I threw my rock and it cut a slot in the bag. A ring fell out of the bag and then I grabbed the ring and ran back to her house. I gave her the ring. She said yes.
