Aloysius’s Secret Aloysius had a secret. It was a wonderful secret; each time he thought of his secret he smiled a happy smile. None of the other rabbits knew his secret. None of the squirrels or chipmunks knew his secret. In fact, no one in all of Peaceful Meadow knew Aloysius’ secret. Some of the other bunnies made fun of Aloysius’ name. The first time they laughed at him he ran home crying to his mommy. She hugged him and dried his tears. Then she sat him on her lap, and explained why she gave him such an unusual name. "The first time I saw you I knew you were special so I gave you a special name," his mother said smoothing the fur between his ears. It was always sticking up. He even tried putting bacon grease on it. The fat seemed to …show more content…

Before him was a tree who’s top surely touched the clouds. Gathering his courage, Aloysius quickly jumped into the darkened forest. A great barn owl swooped low over his back. "Who cooks for you?" it called. Aloysius ran. He hopped over logs, under thickets, through a stream, stopping under a large sycamore tree to catch his breath. Trembling, wet and thoroughly lost he started to cry. Why hadn’t he listened to his mommy? She always told him to stay out of the great dark forest or he would get lost. He heard a rustling to his left. Maybe it was the giant snake coming for him like it tried to get grandfather. Aloysius flexed his back legs, ready for the biggest hop of his life. Just when he was ready to spring, he heard a small voice. "Are you all right? Do you need assistance?" Squinting down in the tall blades of grass Aloysius saw a tiny chipmunk. The little animal barely came to his shoulder. "My name’s Chester and I live right over there," he said pointing to a big flat rock. Aloysius didn’t see any opening, however there was one. "Oh please, could you help me? I’m looking for my grandfather. He came in the forest a long time ago. I got lost looking for …show more content…

How could he describe grandfather? Then he remembered what his mother said. "He looks like me - only older and his left toe is missing. He fought the giant snake." "Missing a toe is he?" Chester asked. When Chester spoke, he whistled through his large front teeth. Aloysius had never heard anyone speak like this. His mother and father always taught him to be kind. He didn’t say anything about Chester’s speech impediment. This being the first chipmunk Aloysius encountered he didn’t realize all chipmunks speak with a whistle. Something to do with their large front teeth I presume. "Come with me," Chester shouted. Suddenly Chester was off running so rapidly Aloyouis could barely keep him in sight. He hopped as fast and as long as long as he could without knowing where he would land. One time he came down a big fat beetle. "Excuse me," Aloysius cried out as hopped away. The beetle just glared him then hurried away. As he bounced along Aloysius became frightened. On either side of him, the dark forest seemed to close in. He almost stopped, then he remembered his mother’s sad face when she spoke of grandfather. Chester halted beside a large opening beside a huge fir tree. Aloysius jumped over him before he could stop. Chester disappeared down a hole. Cautiously Aloysius peeked into the darkness. Suddenly light flooded the spacious room as Chester switched on a tall floor
