One fine day there was a, let’s just say, a strange forest animal. I have two humps and dots all around and an unusually long tail. I don´t look like most animals. Hey my name is Spacier and you will hear more about me in this story...enjoy.

But for now I have to tell you something. I’m cursed. But you will hear more about that later in the story. My best friend is a half goat half kangaroo named Kanga. One day we were on a trail heading to our pals Honey Bear´s and Hop’s house. We had to walk up and down and up hills to get there. Kanga was ok with it because he was riding on my back the whole way there.

“ Almost there,” I said to Kanga ...

“CRACK” went a branch. Down fell Chomps, Kanga’s and my

squirrel friend from the forest. He crashed right on Kanga’s head onto my back right onto a tree stump.

¨Hey are you stealing from your brother's home again Chomps?¨ I asked.

“Uhh yeah. Wait, before you say anything, the only reason I took it from him is because I ran out of food,” he said.

Chomp´s brother was a giant squirrel that lived near a large oak tree that grew really big magical acorns. Chomp´s brother wanted all the magical acorns for himself. The giant squirrelś greed created problems for everyone in the forest.

Chomps said suddenly “I know I’m sorry about that incident, I’m still trying to convince my brother to give you the medicine or whatever it is to get you back to normal, but he wouldn’t budge. He’s still mad about what had happened a few years back.”

“Yah and about those acorns”, he continued. “Please dont tell my brother I took these acorns. I only took them because I had no more left.” “Ok...ok,” I promised I replied

“How about you Kanga, will you tell? I asked. ” Chomps asked Kanga with a worried, concerned voice.

“Well I don’t know about about Spacier but I’m not promising anything,” said Kanga. Me and Chomps looked at Kanga with non surprised faces. “HUHHHH!!!” went Kanga. I didn’t know if I believed him or not but I didn’t say anything else to him. I thought in my head “I knew he wasn’t a tattle tale and I also I knew that he was super scared of Chomp´s brother.”

“Hey Spacier how did you get cursed?” asked Kanga.

¨Well I guess I could tell the story,¨ I replied . ¨Ok so I was a colt and a regular horse too, and I went out in the woods for a stroll. I went to pick an acorn off a tree, and I guess it was Chomp´s brother’s tree, and he got so angry that I had touched his things he cursed me to look like this.¨

“Wow!”Chomps brother must really like acorns” Kanga replied

So as soon as me and Kanga were done chit chatting with Chomps, I walked up the hill to Honey Bear and Hop¨s house. When Kanga and I got to Honey Bear and Hop´s big log cabin, we walked up their big wood stairs and knocked on their red painted door. Honey Bear immediately opened it and was holding a big jar of honey, like that was surprising. We walked into the kitchen while Honey Bear went back to eating honey and watching Golden Girls on his big comfy sofa.

As soon as we got to the kitchen table we saw Hops watering his plants. “That’s a first” said Kanga.

Hey guys and girls!” Hops said, looking at Kanga. (Hops started laughing hysterically)

“Ok that joke is so old,” replied Kanga with an embarrassed face.

¨Hey Hops,¨ I said. ¨Ummm… do you know anything new about, I don’t know, maybe something that could fix me?¨

“Well what do you mean?” he asked.

¨Maybe fix the way I look?¨ I replied.

“Well I actually do have something I would like to explain to you. I do have something” said Hops, “then what is it?” asked Kanga. “Here I’ll tell you” replied Hops. “Ok so have you ever heard of the Crazy Zoo Wizard?” No me and Kanga replied back to him.

“Well he is a Wizard who breaks curses, and he actually fixed Honey Bear,” said Hops

“Wait WHAT!?” said Kanga

“Yep!” replied Hops. ¨Honey Bear was yellow about five years.”

“So... you know we had only been here a couple years ourselves, and me and Honey bear didn’t know any better. So Honey Bear went out in the woods to get some natural honey for my homemade honey Jello. As soon as Honey bear saw the perfect honey tree he went up to it and filled up two big jars to carry back to the log cabin. But as soon as he was done getting the honey he saw Chomp´s brother.

“You know how big Chomp´s brother is now. Well he was so much bigger back then. And that’s all Honey Bear had told me,¨ Hops said with a sigh.

“Wait! So you're telling me that this Zoo wizard can fix me?” I asked.

“Yep,” replied Hops. “But… there is one thing... you have to do. Go on a hitch hike that takes three days.”

Next thing we know in comes Honey Bear coming into the kitchen saying... “So you up for the challenge Spacier? And I’m assuming if Spacier’ś going you´re going Kanga right?” Honey Bear asks.

“Ummmm let me think about it,” replied Kanga.

(I nudged him.) “Ok! ok!” said Kanga. ¨I’ll come too.¨

So next morning Kanga and me left at sunrise. “So where we heading first?” asked Kanga.

¨Well Hops gave me a map of how to get there and he had told me we’ll meet some scary and non scary creatures on the way,¨ I answered.

¨But back to the map. I think we have to go the Singing rainforest.¨

So after about ten hours of walking we finally got to the Singing Rainforest. When we were at the entrance of the Singing Rainforest we saw these amazing frogs playing instruments with a lead jazz singer

¨No wonder it’s called the, Singing Rainforest¨ said Kanga. Kanga and I headed into the Singing Rainforest. ¨Wow!¨ said Kanga. The rainforest was huge and there was no need of thinking you’ll get lost because it was one big line going right through the whole Forest.

You could even see the end of the forest from just standing right in front of the entrance. The Forest was really long (1 mile long).

So we started heading as soon as possible. After we were out of the Singing Rainforest it was almost Sundown so we decided that they would campout at our next stop. Our next stop was the Wagon Bridge.

¨So were right past the Singing Rainforest and Its three miles away from here so we’ll get there by Sundown¨ said Kanga.

“Ok” I replied. Let’s get to it.

So when Kanga and me got to the Wagon Bridge we laid on a flat part of the high grass and drifted off to sleep. When Sunrise came we got up and headed off across the Bridge.

(CRACK!) “I think it was the Bridge” said Kanga!. Then me and Kanga looked down and... (BOOM!)

Went the rickety Bridge and Kanga and me knew we had to run to get off the Bridge.

Next thing me and Kanga knew we were running for our lives to get off the Bridge.

Finally before the last piece of the Bridge had fell to the bottom of the ridge they were safe from any harm.

When we got off the Wagon Bridge they Kanga looked on our map to see that our next destination was right below us. Below us was the Rolling Hills that was owned by Reecely the Armadillo.

The hill was very steep with all different size rocks all around. We headed down the hill and almost a little more than half way down the rolling hills, and then out of the blue’s there was a three FT tall and two foot long Armadillo on top of a huge boulder.

The Armadillo said to us in a non welcoming way “my name's Reecely and I’m the only one of my kind why are you on my Rolling hills?” “Ummm were just passing by to get to the Wicked Zoo Wizard” replied Kanga in sort of a Wimpy Puppy sounding voice. “Well the only way I’m going to let you pass is if you promise me you’ll never lead anyone near my home again are we clear?” “Yes Mr. Reecely sir” replied Me and Kanga.

So Me and Kanga got off Reece's land and looked at our map to see where our next stop was. Their next stop was Medley Fields. It says on the map that as soon as we get across Medley Fields, Hippo Lake will be right through the tree’s I explained.

So as time past Me and Kanga got to Medley Fields. When me and Kanga were about to take our first step into the Field.

All of a sudden a fast breeze fell over Me and Kanga.

It felt like someone zoomed right past us running. Me and Kanga saw an Ostrich run right past us. Suddenly the Ostrich stops running and says

“Hi! my name is Frankie why are you here? And where are you going?” ¨I'm Kanga and this is Spacier and were Going to see the Wicked Zoo Wizard” Kanga replied,

“Well ok one thing first. Could you ask the Wicked Zoo Wizard if he has a coconut or two?”he asked with a thrill. “Ummm shoreeee... we answered.¨ “Ok you may pass my Medley Fields¨ Frankie said.

As soon as me and Kanga passed through Medley Fields and right through the tree’s Kanga and Me saw Hippo Lake immediately.

¨Ok Kanga I told him. We have to be ready for anything ok?¨ “Ok” replied Kanga. We both headed down to Hippo Lake and first thing we saw was a big hippo swimming in the water. And a big old wooden house with a huge door made for two hippos. The hippo hadn't seen them yet but would soon.

Kanga and Me stepped closer until he stepped on a twig “just my luck” Kanga said. And suddenly (CREEK) went the twig and (BOOM) the Hippo saw us.

Kanga and Me are 5 FT away from the Hippo. Surprisingly the Hippo had looked scared.

Suddenly he had said with a stutter “what do you want I don’t have anything”. “We don’t want anything” Kanga replied…

¨Hey Boogie it’s Mommy Clara do you want (AHHHHH!!!) Who are they?!” Asked Mommy Clara. Mommy Clara “it’s ok they're just passing by” replied Boogie ,

“Oh” replied Mommy Clara “it’s just we don’t get much company around here that’s all, Anyway what makes you want to come to through this part?” Asked Mommy Clara. Well were just heading to the Wicked Zoo Wizard I replied. “So we're gonna get out of your hair now said Kanga”, Well if you ever want to pass by again feel free to.

So as soon as me and Kanga left Hippo lake they started by finding a place where they could sleep just till Dawn. Me and Kanga had found a place where the leaves had covered the ground and As soon as the Sun had risen and hit our eyes we woke up and started heading for The Wicked Zoo Wizard’s castle.

It had taken half the day but we had gotten to The Wicked Zoo Wizard’s castle. Ok Kanga you see those things flying high above the castle? Asked Spacier. “Yep” replied Kanga. Those are dragons that Guard the entrance to the Wicked Zoo Wizard.“So basically all we gotta do is get passed them and the we get to meet the Wicked Zoo Wizard?” Asked Kanga. That’s right! I replied

So what are plan is that you… (Kanga had already been sprinting towards the castle) Oh no Oh no I repeated. I started running as fast as

I could and I caught up to Kanga

Get on! I said, And as soon as Me and Kanga even got close to the castle the Dragons saw us coming. The Dragons came swooping down and blew out flaming fireballs in all directions. I had to decide fast on how to get through the two Dragons, And in a second I had a plan.

Kanga when I say go you run in a zig zag right to the castle ok? “Wait what!” replied Kanga just trust me I replied back.

Kanga ran in a zigzag line straight to the castle. Next came Me, I ran as fast as I could in a zigzag line straight to the castle where Me and Kanga were now safe.

Kanga and Myself headed into the Wicked Zoo Wizards castle. There was three doors that had one number and all the doors numbers read 1,2,3 “So which door do we go through?” Asked Kanga. Well you check one and I’ll check two ok said I replied “yep” replied Kanga.

We both opened our doors Nope! I said. “It must be room number three” said Kanga. Kanga opened room number three and there was The Wicked Zoo Wizard right in front of his machine that was making a really loud sound.

I don’t think he can here us I said oh “you think!” Replied Kanga. Ummm excuse me Mr. Zoo Wizard said Kanga walking closer to The Wizard. And I guess had surprisingly heard that through his obnoxious machine because he turned around and screamed like he was watching a horror movie.

Sorry Mr. Zoo Wizard but were here to ask you if you could lift the curse off my friend Spacier. Well could you do it asked Spacier. “Umm I’m sorry but that’s just I’m not an actual Wizard I’m a kids party planner and the map is just for kids you can get them in a happy meal at wendy’s for ninety nine cents”

“Are you serious asked Kanga?” “No I’m not serious I’m an actual wizard” the Zoo Wizard replied back.

So what’s your curse? asked The Wicked Zoo Wizard. Well I’m cursed into all these different animals that makes me look like a monster and I just want to be normal like everyone else. Let’s see what I can do replied The Wicked Zoo Wizard “The Wicked Zoo Wizard takes out his spell book” Ok I think I found it. You ready asked The Wizard. Yep I replied. The Wizard said a chant that read “Animiox Cuwdun uk

(Suddenly Spacier was lifted from from the ground into the air and spun magically changing into a normal horse and set back down on the ground) Wow! Said Kanga you look great not that you didn’t great already but..I know what you mean replied Spacier. Thank you so much said Spacier.

Is there anything else I can do for you? asked The

Wicked Zoo Wizard. Well do you have any coconuts? No replied the Wizard, That’s what I had thought said Spacier.

Spacier and Kanga had been through so much these few couples days but it was all worth it. THE END!
