Frightened, ‏he hid in a hollow trunk of a tree. ‏He was very scared. ‏He had gathered all his strength and
courage for the last several hours and was holding himself in this terrible place but now his courage was
running out. ‏He was very hungry. ‏He had not eaten for few  hours. ‏Hunger and exhaustion slowly made
him faint.  ‏He was asleep. ‏Unaware of everything۔
‏After being unconscious for several hours, ‏his eyes opened. ‏He got up and came out of the tree. ‏He was
feeling better and no wild animal was following him anymore. ‏Ahmed tried to find fruits in the forest
because he was very hungry. ‏After a long search, ‏he found the fruits tree ‎. ‏Ahmed took the fruits from
the tree and started eating. ‏The fruit looked like a guava and the taste was like an apple. ‏A river was
flowing nearby. ‏After eating plenty of fruits, ‏Ahmed drank water from the river and lay down to rest under
a tree. ‏Lying down, ‏Ahmed began to regret when his older brother planned a picnic in this terrible
forest."Today we're going for a picnic in the woods on the outskirts of the city," ‏Ahmed's older brother
Ahmar told Abu. ‏Mother was also shocked to hear Ahmar's words. "We'll have a picnic in this dangerous
forest," ‏Mother said angrily. ‏Dad was also angry.
"You can't go," ‏dad made the final decision. ‏When Ahmar began to be stubborn, ‏dad finally agreed. ‏At the
appointed time, ‏Ahmar and Ahmed packed their bags and boarded the bus. ‏The bus dropped them off
on the outskirts of the city. ‏When Ahmar got off the bus in front of the forest, ‏he was very excited.
‏Ahmed was also happy. ‏They entered the forest. ‏The forest was not so dense in the beginning. ‏After
coming a little further, ‏the forest became dense. ‏Ahmar and Ahmed spread their mats and started
eating. ‏He was just eating when he heard a bear growl behind him. ‏Ahmar and Ahmed started running
without looking back. ‏Running away, ‏Ahmed stepped forward but Ahmar's foot got stuck in the bush
and  was grabbed by the bear. ‏Ahmed found out when the bear was taking Ahmer into his den. ‏Ahmad
ran into a hollow trunk of a tree. ‏He was very sad and scared.Ahmed started crying remembering his
quarrelsome elder brother. ‏He had just finished crying when he heard a terrible growl behind him. ‏Ahmed
fell silent. ‏He recognized that it was the voice of the bear that had captured his brother Ahmer. ‏Ahmed
got scared. ‏He turned around and saw a bloodthirsty bear roaring at him. ‏Ahmed started running. ‏While
running, ‏he fell on his feet and he stumbled and fell. ‏In that time the bear reached at his head. ‏The bear
was about to press  its claws around Ahmed's neck when Ahmed screamed and sat up in a hurry.
‏Ahmed fell out of bed.Sit on the floor for a while and take deep breaths. ‏After a while, ‏he regained
consciousness and began to think about his strange dream. ‏Ahmed was most impressed with the part
of the dream in which his brother Ahmar was caught by a bear. ‏Ahmed got up and started getting ready
for school!!!
