The Gathering

They had all arrived here recently or not so long ago, as the story went. All of them here in this particular corner of the world, filled with dreams of the home they had left behind and the  fears of what lay ahead. yes, they were all  strangers here drawn here by the promise of a better future.



Bear was the most vocal of the little things. He would daily take a lead place in amongst the best story tellers as they sat around the fire place.

   " Oh yes, things are definitely better here but I recall the good times with my fellow bears in my old home "
said bear.

"Tell us a story of the old times bear" said hare sitting in the back row. Hare loved to listen to bears stories. Hare loved to listen to the stories of the others but bear was his favorite.

Bear paused for a moment, prolonging the moment like any good story teller. " A story my young hare, hmm, if a story is what you wish, a story is what you will have."

He looked around the circle making eye contact with each of the other little things, and they nodded or murmured their approval.
