The wilderness! Adventure! Thrills! We’ll test our strength in rugged hills. We’ll face down dangers, conquer ills. Now then, who has forest skills?


I can cook a mushroom feast!

I know north, south, west and east.

And I can tame a wild beast— I never fear them in the least.


We can climb up crumbly rocks.

I know how to trap a fox!

I can handle snakes and crocs.

I have holes in both my socks…


And Liam? Flaming arrows? Bow?

No… I’m good at hiding, though.

You can’t call that a skill, you know.

Hiding? I don’t reckon so!


Up Dismal Hills the teacher strides. The children frisk. And Liam hides.

A Hider moves with soundless ease and treads as softly as the breeze. At times, a Hider barely breathes— but what is this the Hider sees?


Excuse me, Miss. A sign there said a Grizzled Grist is up ahead!

Grizzled Grist? She f licks her wrist.

The Grizzled Grist does not exist.
