I've been in this cave for such a long time and I don't know what to do! I regret
the day that I crossed that fence because I am LOST. I'm also super hungry. I wish I could
eat something tasty right now. I don't know where my mother is but I wish I could see my

mother. I wonder where she is and what she is doing. I hope she is doing well! The other
day, while I was still in my little cave, I heard odd noises. Then, suddenly I saw someone,
but I was a bit too scared so I didn't do anything. I just sat there looking at them. It was
so scary and awkward. They left after some time. Then again after some time, I heard

more odd and unusual noises. It was the same people! I was really confused about why
they were in the cave where I was hiding. And they kept appearing out of nowhere.
They put something on my face. It smelt delicious and had a familiar smell. It was milk! I
started to suck the milk and it felt so good to have milk after such a long time! They left

after feeding me and I felt so much better! I’m glad those people came into my tiny cave
and gave me the milk! I wonder where my mother is though. Is she okay? What is she
doing? What did she eat? I hope she knows that I’m safe in a cave and I even got milk
to drink.
