3. Moonlight got lost! But May,
John and Marie were not aware
of that. Will they ever find him?
Or will he be lost forever?
A mystery?

4.  May and Marie and John
were sleeping. Moonlight
whined. “Go to sleep
Moonlight,” said John.
“Yeah!” yawned May.
Snowflake whined too. “We
want to sleep, Moonlight,”
said May. Everything went
quiet. So they drifted off to
sleep.

5.  That night Moonlight escaped without
anyone noticing. Quietly walking to a
sign that says: “Ghostwalker forest”.
He went in the forest. The forest had a
lot of bats, birds, and tall trees that
looked scary. The next day, when John
went to feed Moonlight, he found that
Moonlight was gone!

6.  “Where did he go?” asked Marie who
looked worried. May was about to
scream but she was interrupted. “We
don’t know!” said John as he put a
hand on May’s mouth to stop her from
screaming. Snowflake trotted up to
them. and whined sadly.

7.  Marie patted him on the head. John did
the same with Sunfall. “Do you think he
went in the …” Marie was interrupted
by John. “Don’t say it!” he said.
“Ghostwalker forest?” finished Marie.
“You said it” giggled May.

8.  “Kids! Breakfast!” called
John’s mother. “You don’t
want to miss the ice
cream do you?” added
John’s father. “Yum!” said
John. But Marie was too
worried to eat. “Cheer up
Marie!” said May. “Yeah!”
shouted John.

9.  After breakfast, some
visitors arrived. “Come
on kids! Shake hands
with them!” said Joe.
Marie shook the
visitor’s hand first. John
put a hand on her
shoulder because she
looked nervous. But he
and May were nervous
too.

10.  Kate, the visitor’s daughter took a toilet
break. When she got back, she heard
them talking about ponies. “Really?”
she asked. “Tommorow, you may see
the ponies,” yelled her Mother.

11.  That night they went to bed, Marie fell
asleep right away. John and May slept
too. But Marie woke up. She heard
whines. “Get up guys!” she said. “That’s
just Snowfall” snapped John.

12.  When they went to the stables, Kate
was there. “May I have this pony and
bring it home? Please?” she asked
pointing to Sunfall. “NO!” they yelled.
“When can I have …” “NO!” they yelled
again.

13.  Today, they will look for
Moonlight. “In there?”
asked May. “Yes,” said
John. Marie took
Snowflake’s saddle and
walked in the spooky
forest. John shivered as
they rode. May saw a big
shadow. She screamed
loudly. Sunfall got scared
too and went crazy. “She’s
going nuts!” giggled
Marie.

14.  John saw one of the spooky tree’s
pointing left. Snowfall calmly walked in
front of Snowflake and moved the tree’s
branch. Striped bushes like Moonlight’s
appeared. “This is a good place for
moonlight to hide in,” said May. “There!
A tail!” cried Marie. “It’s only a
squirrel,” said May. Its head popped out
of the bush.

15.  Snowflake was sad. Then they saw hoof
prints. They grinned. “Moonlight!”
shouted May and Marie. “Apples!” said
John. May and Marie were confused. “I
mean Moonlight!” he said. They rolled
there eyes. “Apples?” thought John. “An
apple had letters.”

16.  It says: “follow the squirrel.” “After that,
run to that tree.” They did what the apple
said. “Another apple?” asked May. John
read the apple’s letters. It said: “Follow
the squirrel.” “Then, run to that hill.”
“Oof!” breathed Marie as they climbed up
the steep hill.

17.  “We’re here!” panted John. Snowflake
nearly fell off. He panted. “Neigh,” he
said. John and May had a hard time.
Sunfall kept eating grass and John on
the other hand. Snowfall kept rolling
around.

18.  Marie picked up the apple. It says: “run.
“Wh- “ John was interrupted by a large
boulder. “RUN!” yelled May. It came
from a steep ramp. “A jewel boulder?”
asked John. “BOULDER!!!” screamed
May. “Oh,” John said.

19.  Marie and her friends
ran. “Look! An apple!”
cried John. After the
boulder crashed, they
looked at the apple. It
says: “follow squirrel,
look, leap run.”

20.  “I don’t know what’s scarier. The apple
or that. Whats sca-,” John was
interrupted. “SHARK!” yelled May. They
jumped over the cliff safely. Then they
saw Moonlight at the other side of the
cliff.

21.  “Moonlight!” they all cried. “An apple
for you moonlight,” said Marie.
Moonlight ate it happily. Lets go home
May said. Moonlight jumped. “Achoo!”
sneezed Marie from a bird feather.
They ran home happily.
The End.
