The wind blows slightly and the animals in the woods fly or walk quietly through the woods all going back to their homes. Each one has their own life here. They go to the secret place above the stars called Home. Home is a place far, far away from the bad and is the one place that animals get along.
People think that animals try killing each other to be the best, but they’re wrong. Home is the place for animals to get along and be protected by the trees.
Home is a beautiful place. That’s why people can’t be there. There’s an amazing waterfall, streams, and all types of animals, even the dinosaurs. There’s a home for reptiles, birds, and other big and small things like moose, mice, and raccoons.
With people Home will go extinct, like rainbow colored animals and the last dinosaur.
That’s why Home has been protected by the forest and still remains for thousands of years in secret.
