"After stopping in mid-step, it took me a few seconds to realize what I was looking at. I then tried to move my legs, but I couldn't move. I couldn't even feel my feet. Finally, after several minutes, the initial fear subsided and I began to step slowly backward until I bumped into the tree trunk. I then quickly turned around and started running back to the barn as fast as I could." Lady Dog lies down, taking in a deep breath. "Well, I suggest that tomorrow, if we are all brave enough to do it," Mona Cow pauses with a twitch of her ears. "We should all take a walk upstream and see if we can see the Wiblet or at least see what kind of tracks it left." After Lady Dog sees the Wiblet down by the stream at the foot of the mountain, she rushes home to tell the rest of the farm animals of her discovery. Intrigued by the creature with one large eye on its head and a dozen waving tentacles, the animals are determined to track it to its home. What follows is an engaging tale of their journey as the animals learn to rely on one another, establishing bonds of trust and love.
