We have escaped from the
Trolls. We must find our way back to the cove where our ship is
anchored. From there we will sail across the stormy seas, heading for
home. Our Princess will be back with her mother and father who love
her and miss her very much.
'But first, we must make our way to the other side of this enchanted,
tangled forest.
''The Trolls tell strange tales about this forest,' the Princess whispers.
'She stares about at the thorny, dripping vines.
'The Trolls say there are THINGS in this forest. I hope we can get
through to the other side without seeing them.'
'We cannot delay; we must move on. Up ahead the trail twists among
the trees and disappears under thick vines. We start along the trail. I
lead the way, then the Princess, and you in the rear to guard us from
behind. We force our way through the heavy vines and underbrush.
'After walking for a long time we stop and listen. There are no noises in
the forest. No sounds of birds singing, or insects buzzing, or leaves
rustling, or breezes blowing; nothing but silence. It is the enchantment.
