The Story Begins
The Great Forest adventure begins
when a curious child finds
ancient letters in a magical tree.
Written by Forest Squirrel and Beach Bird,
the letters tell a story about dragons and frogs.
Forest Squirrel sends letters to his friend Beach Bird
of his hope for friendship
between the frogs and dragons.
Beach Bird returns letters of advice and
predictions of doom because an ancient rhyme ends with -
Dragons eat frogs whenever they can!
Great Forest is a miserable mess.
One day, a broken promise leaves the dragons' egg at the bottom of Deep Pond.
Can anyone ever change?
The illustrations are by Lowell Brandt
