Hermit's Surprise

Tweet! tweet! tweet! The hermit who lives at the tip of the mountain was awakened by the sound of chirping birds. “Rise and shine Mr. Hermit!” greeted the birds. “Mornin’ little fellas.”, he replied. The hermit got up and fixed his bed. He drank his milk and ate his breakfast. “Hmmm, hmmm, how I love the smell of the morning, the sound of the dried leaves, the touch of the shining sun and the greetings of the sweet animals around me. Thank You Almighty I am blessed by all these!” The hermit decided to walk and pick some wild berries. “Mornin’ Mr. Berry I’d like to bake some berry pies. Would you allow me to pick some please.” asked the hermit. “It’s a pleasure for me indeed, to pick some and share them free.” the berry tree agreed. As the hermit walked by, he met the tamaraw, “Good morning Mr. Tamaraw. It’s lovely to see you up here.” said the hermit. “I just dropped by the river to drink and now I am finding my way home.” he replied. “I was with the farmer when he got scared by Mrs. Crocodile when we were at the river. He started running and left me alone.” the tamaraw continued. “Why don’t you come along, it will be fun to have some company as you find your way home.” the hermit suggested. The hermit and the tamaraw walked together. “Oh dear!” exclaimed the hermit as the tarsier fell off the tree. “How are you all doing?” the tarsier greeted like nothing happened.
