Shadow of a Child

Inside the Forest

Sky plays in the backyard, when the sky is bright blue, the clouds of\-clouds gather like cotton, smooth and form a very diverse shape, thick fur beribas along with the leap of cheerful, clean, He pursued the fallen dandelion because of the low breeze\-trick, the left-leaping\-right, never stopping his feet moving and his tail swaying, his tongue coming out as a sign that he was very happy, the big playful dog was delighted, and the butterfly\ alighted his nose, his eyes twinkling and staring at the purple winged insect gleaming curiously, and shaking his head, but He did not want to fly until He drove him away with his feet.

“Go, naughty butterflies”

“I started sneezing...”.

“AAACHOOO!!!”

The dog sneezed loudly and the beautiful butterfly\ flew away, saw it, its tail swayed, it wanted to chase after it, and Sky ran after the butterfly, his wings flapped rapidly to avoid his pursuit, aware that the beast wanted to capture him, He flew quickly and entered the forest, Sky who was chasing him stopped as He approached the end of his backyard, the shady forest was dense and dark, so that it did not seem to be the way, his eyes were curious and breathing rapidly, and He began to set foot into it, and suddenly,\-all of a sudden, He heard a whistling sound from his house, his brown eyes were curious about what was behind the forest, He smelled so sharp from inside, that his feet were about to pass through it, but he was not sure of his plan.

“Sky, go, you're just curious not”

“Don't, later my master will worry about me”

“go, your master is the children”

“Not just him my master, but everyone in my house”

“Sky, follow them,..”.

His mind fought to form a decision for him, hesitatingly He began to put his feet on the brown ground, and a man came from behind him, He stroked his body so that He felt amused and calm, his mind was back to normal.

“Sky, don't go there, danger!”

“You're just like Marina, though,

reckless high, no fear to approach that area”

Sky was silent to his words, He only realized that his young man had approached the forbidden area, “So, Sky, you have to take care of him and not until He approached the region” his orders, said Sky, muskmatis He retorted his words and returned home to see the girl who was having breakfast with her family.

The family breakfast was very peaceful, they held knives and forks quietly, pliers made scraping sounds from the ceramic plates altogether, they ate pancakes seriously like cutting a piece of cake neatly, he said, until before long one of them began to sound, “Marina, and, dad got an invitation from the master and Miss Belldock to follow their wedding anniversary” Jason showed a brown envelope with a purple seal as a sign of their family, “That's why it arrived\- suddenly they invited us two months before her time” He felt confused while scratching his head, Marina was just confused by the food in her mouth, chewing hearing her question, Marina was, Miss Emily who sedan took a dirty plate on the table to hear his words, “maybe they want to mark the table for master and Marina, you guys are very lucky to have her entertained while giving her desk, he said, “sad they don't want to invite us, black people, not only that, our friends\-friends who work there never give news to us....” he continued, He just ate it, he said, He did not understand the conversation, when it was finished, he immediately took his plate to the kitchen to wash it, and his pet dog followed him there, while working He also played soap bubbles from him.

Marina took the book off her shelf, not forgetting the pen and ink, she went to the backyard, she sat under the shade of the acacia tree, she said, he fell down and opened the pages of the book and began to pour out his thoughts and heart, but his hands stopped because he did not know how to write, “I can only read, not write, , whereas if Mom was still around, maybe now she would teach me to write, Sky, do you know how to make the letters ‘A, B, C’ no??” He asked the sleeping dog in front of him, his eyes opened next to him when he heard his words, “I just don't know letters, how could you ask such a thing to a hound” he said with a snore, Marina just scowled at hearing that, and leaned behind the tree, restlessly She just leaned back with a frown, then the teddy bear came to him, He stood on his thigh covered with white socks, “Marina....” called him, He immediately looked at him with fatigue.

“Why, Mr Bear…..?

don't you see my condition now?!”

He just stared heartlessly, and sitting on it, his legs swaying cheerfully, “You don't know how to write, after all, instead of you having to go to school, look at it, look at it, the children carry books and walk with his best friend” he said, pointing at girls dressed in the same clothes as the book he was holding, he just stared at him with empty eyes.

“Dad said there was no school suitable for me,

and if there might not be a match for me”

“There must be nak”

“nothing, just look at the conditions,

princess, the prince lives happily in the luxurious palace

while we, that's nothing…..

school alone is hard”

Marina sighed, besides, a fat rabbit hiding behind a bushes\-brush, unaware of the situation they just sat and slept quietly, before long, his eyes saw his best friend wearing neat clothes, he said, with his family, he ran and approached them but was restrained by the fence, “Jake, where do you want....???” he asked worriedly, He felt that he would be alone at home, the black boy looked at him with a smile, and approached him.

“Mar, I'll meet my family….

they came from Afrika”

“Please send greetings to them,

say here there are people who are very dear to people like you,”

Marina and Jake who initially looked at each other at the split fence, He just turned around restlessly, and his best friend called him, “Hei, Marina!”, He turned, “I won't be long, I won't be, after all they will be curious about my new best friend!!” comforting her with a thumbs up, Marina laughed and they parted ways in two different places.

He walked to his place, looking at those who were relaxing under the sun, He sat quietly, the shadow of the tree gave him a shade, He finally decided to read, his feet running fast, his legs were, to his home and back again brought a thick book, his favorite fairy tale book, ‘flute blower from Hamelin’, a story from Germany became his favorite, He again sat under the shade of a tree, and he sat down again, opening the thick book and reading it quietly, slowly changing the pages so that they do not wake up from their sleep, slowly Marina read it and seriously understand the words\-said, he said, german folklore became his favorite.

it's a great story, I really like this!!”

His heart was happy with the story being told, as if the story was alive, he laughed a little, the fairy tale entered the little girl's mind.

Until before long, a rabbit hiding behind the bush, jumped nimblely approached him, his nose He rubbed and his ears erect so as to attract his attention, “Cute rabbit, his eyes were fixed on the brown haired rabbit's faux pas, the small hand he raised and gave Marina the attention to invite him to play together.

“Funny lipstick.

Come here, there's Sky the dog”

“Not to be afraid, he didn't bite you”

The rabbit was frightened to see the big dog sleeping in front of him, slowly He jumped towards his purple skirt, He jumped up to Marina who was looking at him approaching his hair, at first he only caught a glimpse of her in his lap and went back to reading the story, but the calm began to fade as the rabbit took her hairpin forcibly and was noticed by her, He felt a pain in his hair, drawn from the roots, and he felt a pain in her hair, and he jumped up quickly running away from her who was in pain.

“My hairpin!!”

“Naughty rabbit, give it back!!”

Marina got up straight from her seat and chased after her, her black pantofel shoes did not sound on the green ground but were heard by Sky, her sharp hearing made her open up instantly and chase after her young master, She yelled at him, She said, but the rabbit entered the forest that was forbidden to enter by Mr. Milo, his legs stopped staring at the shade of the green tree, as if they were calling out to him, his legs began to be moved to enter the area, but the Siberian dog stopped him and barked, “Marina, don't go there, danger!”, he ordered, He saw him standing with his ferocious face, and approached him to restrain his movement, he said, He fell silent innocently and returned with her to relax.

“Marina..”

“Marina….

Enter us….

we're waiting for you...”.

As if they were calling his name subtle, He looked back at him and approached the forest, the wind blowing from him stroking his long hitm hair, his eyes twinkling curiously, then he recklessly approached the forest, “that naughty rabbit I had to find, he apparently tricked me with his cute tactics” grunts, Sky who saw him disavow his words immediately chased and tried to pull his skirt, not only that, but Sky, Mr. Bear rode straight on her and helped his great friend to stop the young girl's movement. But they were late, Marina entered the forest, her feet had entered the shade of the forest, cool and calm, deep asleep not awake for a long time.

Sky and the doll approached her, they saw Marina unnerved by a new world she had never seen before, a dark, small light illuminating only a small part of the forest, the ground was ethereal, “what's the contents of the forest...?” he asked, while looking around the magical world, they looked at each other, not understanding the question, “if yes, there is no way you can see your house or the ship here.” said. Mr. Bear is irritated.

Sky walked to his front, “Marina, we have to go home, Your father will be angry knowing this,” his orders, but He began to frown, “Sky, there was a naughty rabbit who took my hairpin, I had to reclaim it”, whine, but He ignored it and stroked his skirt.

“Marina, it's just a regular hairpin,

you can ask him to buy you a new”

“But the clasp is beautiful,

I don't want to lose him

and I have to find it”

Marina was a child, never hearing orders from anyone until she was forced or intervened to look after her, she walked in search of the rabbit's whereabouts while they followed her only with a worried look.

“I think someday you'll scold me

because I can't hold it”

The doll calmed him who was worried about his master's anger.

“Not to worry, Sky…..

what matters is that you've been trying to”

“And I'm sure you'll be his amazing guard dog!!”

He comforted her so much that she began to resolve to protect Marina from all the distress that lay before her, before long they heard the sound of footsteps, small and quick, and fast, they found out the origin of the sound and found the animals walking in the direction of the forest, “Where did they go...?” he asked curiously, quietly\they followed him walking, they followed him until they stood in a wooden house, large and decorated with vines and flowers\-flowers growing in the forest.

His curiosity arose, He approached the wooden door and intended to open it, but Sky asked him not to do the rash thing, so He obeyed and arrived\suddenly the wide ribbon on his shirt got stuck in the doorknob, opened and they were surprised by what was inside.
