It seamed like a normal saterday but for a boy named Aris clonsbrend it was a starange and bazare time cause each saterday when most boys were playing baseball or videogames Aris would go to his favefrot hide away some people called it the thinking space others called it the time warp but Aris called it the forest of no return the reason he called it that was because the only person that had ever gone in there and came back out alive was him and his best friend Claton.The forest was huge and when no one else was near it but Aris strange things happened like a stick would move but noone would tuch it or a rock would move when noone threw it or maybe even maybe the forest would talk to Aris it would tell him when a tree in the forest needed water or when the royal mud hole would dry up Aris was nice to the forest he named the forest cleo.when he left the forest of course when he left he called it the forest of no return the reason he never called it that when he was in the forest is because he did not want to hurt the forests feelings but he called it the forest of no return to his mom and friends to warn them of the forests danger cleo only let Aris in the gate yes there was a gate so tall and broad and stone cold noone dae enterned but Aris and Claton but iam getting a head of myself let me tell you the entire story i promise you you'll never look at any forest the same way agen. It all began may 6th 2004 when Aris was only 8 he was a short boy he had brown hair and green eyes he had small feet and hands his mom always worried that he would never fit in so she home schooled him one day Aris was in his room looking out the window he wanted to go outside but to his dispair it starting raining.Aris picked up all his toys and put them in the toy box he made his bed and brushed his teeth then he made him self a p b and j then he walked down stairs and put on his red rain coat and blue rain shoes then he grabed his yellow rain hat and walked outside he did'nt no where he was going to or why all Aris new is that he was going to find an atventure he ran and ran then he stoped awhile to rest the small brown haired boy took an apple out of his pocket he placed it on a stump and then ran to find a sharp stick so he could peal the apple he ran and looked under a rock and saw a frog hi frog said Aris the frog seam to be smiling at him just as Aris was about to put the
