Papa flew over and stood right by the kids and mama. He has a strange look on his face and was looking around for a back door. It was then that the kids saw the face that took up the whole opening and it became really dark in their new home.
"Don't be afraid, I am SparkleBerry." came the soft spoken words from the rather large creature.
"Come out and talk to me."
With that the light came back into their home and the face was gone. Papa slowly flew back to the opening and disappeared outside. After him came Mama and then the BabySparkles one by one.
The BabySparkles hid behind mama as the really large furry creature just stood there with a smile on it's face. Bernie, their new friend the bee, buzzed around lecturing the big creature as it just laughed and playfully swatted at him. Bernie landed right on his nose and they both laughed causing Bernie to fly off end over end until he caught himself.
SparkleBerry spoke first. "Ya'll look different" Bernie says you come from that light in the night sky that we call the moon.
So, Papa told a story of how they came to the forest from the moon. How the big thing took their old home right out of the ground and moved it inside. How they woke up in a world they had never seen before. One with light and so many strange things and creatures. Both the creatures listened quietly to his story. When he had finished, he asked them to tell him about this strange place his family now lived in.
Finally, it was the BabySparkles and family's turn to sit there and listen. They were about to learn so much about their new home.
SparkleBerry told all about the Appalachian Mountains and the forest in which they were standing. He was a black bear and Bernie was a honey bee. This forest place had many creature in it like deer, butterflies, chipmunks, ground hogs, and birds. There were so many different things mentioned that the BabySparkles forgot most of them. Sapphire finally flew closer to get a better look at SparkleBerry. She always was the curious one.
