Long long ago there was village of Tingra home to an enourmous rain forest.One day I set off on a goose chase chaseing cheese from a bunch of cheese burgalers.A dark shadow had followed from behind,I paused as the theifs dashed ahead with the food " hey! you won't get away with this" "Whoever you are gulp." "Whatever i"ll catch up with you later", "later tonight". The next night ! What was that! Oh, you wanna play lets play, I stared with a stink eye on the shadow.One moment I blink the next thing I know... THE SHADOWS GONE! I decided to head deeper in the forest searching for sighns of the shadow.24 hours later "is that a boat?" I hopped in and headed down stream. Another 48 hours later. A temple of shadows apeared in the distance. I crept inside story by story the levels were high above ground finally the basket of food! I crept closer silently and grabed the basket of food "that was tooooo easy this isn't right" "THIEF!" says a random shadow."WHAT ME A THEIF WHAT ABOUT YOU!" I burst out pointing at the shadow aggressivly. I ran like a cheetah out of the temple and through the forest finally safly home. The shadows were never to be seen again.
