Blackfeather Woods different kind of happy

When the crack of the branch sounded through the foreast, Cicero let out another whispered "Shhhhh!" in its direction. Silly branch, not understanding that now was quiet time and that meant they needed to be 'shhh' quiet! Cicero arched his neck to look in the direction of the sound, but he saw nothing.

His father pushed him forward, and Cicero did not really understand what to do, other than walk in the direction of the sound. He waddled onwards, trying to be as quiet as he could by mimicking his father's behaviour. However, being clumsy and young, Cicero didn't fully manage; he stepped on and cracked a branch and tumbled on the ground with a yelp. Cicero heard something run off nearby and looked up at it, only to see some animal disappear into the depths of the forest. "Ohw," he said as he looked after it, and then looked over his shoulder at his father for further instructions.
