once apon a time a little bird called orange-bird went for a walk. on her walk orange-bird met a very nice little squrel called purple. purple and orange became very very good friends. int he the summer, they went swimming in the big lake together, and in the winter they had snow ball fights. once day purple decided to go on a long journey. orange missed purple very much, so much that she became sick. her mommy took care of her and tried to make her better again, but could not. meanwhile, purple was having a great time on his trip. he had met some very interesting people like bob the deer and mister gore, the little red mouse. purple was having such a fun time that he forgot about orange altogether. one day, purple decided he wanted to go home and visit his family. when he arived at his house, purple fell asleep because he was SO tired from travleding. orange-bird had heard that he was back and could not wait to go see him, so she visited his house. because he was sound asleep she sat on a stone and waited. purple was SO tired, and slept for SO long that orange turned tos tone while she was waiting. When purple awoke, he found the pretty statue and figured someone had left it as a homecoming gift, he still did not remember orange. As he was walking through the town, many people asked if he had visited his good old friend yet. he still did not remember whatthey were talking about, so he ignored them. the end.
