The Woman and the Bird

In a deep black forest a woman whimpered to a little stream.  When she sat down the little stream transformed into an enormous mass of black air and surrounded the woman, she screamed and kicked.

“It does not matter if you kick or how loud you scream, you will never get out of this world!” It was the tree that had spoken!  A bird was trapped with her, an Alicanto, the famous fantasy bird.

“Please can you help me?” murmured the woman.
The bird flew out through a little hole, the woman crept out.

 Then they were safe for ever.
