Being silent

Tekoa opens her eyes,it is afternoon and the sunn is shining through the big tree and in her eyes.She looks around where is mom?Mom where are you? Mom?MOM

Tekoa's Mother is drinking water at a little lake in the middle of the forest.When she suddenly hears one of her Baby's squeak she runs back to her nest. the squeaking dosen't sound like something is dangerous.butt still the sound will attract other carnivores.

Mom where have you been, I was so scared

everything is fine I am here she says while cuddling Tekoa's face.butt you can't scream like that when there is no danger.i thought you were being attacked.only scream when there is danger. ok ?

ok mom i won't do it again I'm happy that you are here now

Tekoa's siblings are wakeing up and they begin crying an sceming for food.

Don't scream so loud,today I will show you how to catch salamanders it is afternoon and is is the time when the sunn is shining the most . salamanders come out of their nests when it is warm outside.they live near stones because the sunn heats up the stones, the salamanders go out to warm up on the hot stones. and when they are on the stones you can catch them.

how do you catch them do you just jump on them?

yes Tekoa butt before you jump you have to get as close as possible butt when you are

to loud the Salamanders are gona her you that's why I'm will teach you how to be silent and sneak. one of the most important things to survive is being silent.

can you show me how to sneak and be silent ?

asked Troper

yes but it won't be easy.Now get out of the

nest and and imitate my movements

Troper,Tekoa,Ternary and Timper are crawling out of the nest and begin to imitate their mother

they are crouching on the ground.

good now try to step silent on the ground.

Timper is trying to figure out how to do it but he Stumbled and fell on his face

Tekoa's Mother picks him up and puts him back on his feet "try again I know you can do it I believe in you ".

Don't worry I won't give up he says with Determined smile

Mom am I doing it wrong?

Try to go more down a bit Tekoa

Like this?

yes exactly

how are you doing Ternary

I'm doing great because I'm will be the the silentest raptor alive

your sneaking is good but I'm sure that mom is better than you said Troper

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY

don't say such things Troper, that's mean

shut up Tekoa

sddenly Tenary jumped at Timper but Timper dodged the attack and said

calm down I'm sory I'm sorry

Tenary jumped again and this time he pushed Timper down and said

never be so mean again or I will

before he could say more his mother picks him up and says you can't Jump at your brother like that if you want a fight so badly then ask Tekoa to play with you and Timper don't offend Tenery that but you dodged the atack well.

she put Tenary in the nest and says I will go and hunt for salamanders bevore the sunn goes down don't go far from the nest. if you want to practice to sneak then do it and don't be loud or something is gona eat you.

Tekoa if you want play with Tenary do it I think he has to much energy and Troper do something with Timper ,and always remember be silent.

that was the last thing she says bevore disappearing in the bushes.
