All Alone
Thumbelina felt like crying./ She was scared, hungry, and lonely./ "I will not cry," she said aloud.
"At least I am free. No one is trying to catch me."/ She felt better./ Thumbelina wandered for many days.
It was not easy to survive in the forest./ Thumbelina used a leaf as an umbrella when it rained.
At night she slept on soft moss in a tree root./ Every morning, Thumbelina washed her face with dew from the grass.
Then she'd climb a flower and eat a petal or two./ "I'm tired of eating flower every day," she said./ She was nibbling on a lily.
"Tired of flowers??" said a red bug with black dots./ "Oh,I'm sorry," said Thumbelina./ "I didn't see you . I'll go to another flower."
"I'm a ladybug. I don't eat flowers," said the bug./ "I eat tiny insects,"/ "Don't eat me! I'm not an insect. I'm Thumbelina."
"And my name is Ladybird," laughed the ladybug./ Would you like these insects? ther're very good."
"No thank you," Thumbelina said quickly./ "How about some blueberries?" said Ladybird, smiling.
"I can show you where they grow. Follow me"/ Thumbelina clapped her hands and said./ "That sounds wonderful. Thank you!"
Suddenly the ladybug opened her wings to fly./ The lily started to move back and forth.
Thumbelina lost her balance and fell off the flower./ "Hey!" She landed on a sand hill and slid down a dark tunnel.
"Enemy alert!" someone shouted./ Thumbelina was inside an anthill./ Many ants were lined up like soldiers.
A big ant pointed at her./ "Get out , stranger!"/ "I . .what happened was. . ," Thumbelina stammered.
"We must protect our queen. Forward march!" the ant shouted./ "Please, it's all a mistake. I'll get out," Thumbelina cried.
She tried to climb back up the tunnel./ "This sand is so slippery!" she said, frustrated./ "Capture the enemy!" shouted the ants.
Finally Thumbelina climb up and out./ She glanced behind her./ It looked like a black wave was coming toward her.
"What am I going to do?" she cried./ "Keep marching!" shouted the big ant to the others.
Thumbelina turned and ran as fast as she could./ "There are so many of them!" she screamed, afraid to look behind her again.
Just then Thumbelina saw a small hole in a tree./ She ran inside and hid herself with a fallen leaf.
"Maybe they won't find me here," she gasped./ The ants ran around the tree and kept going./ Their voice faded.
At last Thumbelina could not hear them anymore./ Thumbelina was safe for now.
