//__**Magic between the animals and the old man**__//

Once upon a time somwhere in Japan there was a old man called Kamigi, he lived with his old wife called Sakiko. Even though Kamigi and Sakiko were old they worked very hard. Kamigi goes to the woods every morning and gets some fruits or vegetables or plants that only the woods have, then sells it at the side of the street. Sakiko cooks, washes and do everything you do when you stay at home. But Kamigi and Sakiko`s happy life was about to end. So that day everything were going to perefect, Sakiko made Kamigi`s breakfast, and Kamigi headed to the woods. When he came back to eat his lunch he heard a groan coming from the kitchen. Kamigi hurried to the kitchen. In the kitchen he saw his wife Sakiko lying on the kitchen floor. Kamigi went straight out the door and ran to the closest doctor's house. Kamigi didn't have any time to explain, so he just got the doctor's sleeve, ran back to his house. The doctor came in the house, but when Kamigi came home with the doctor Sakiko had already passed away. The doctor left quietly to give them their own time. Then the next day came, he put Sakiko in a grave. He headed back to his home. He cried for 2 days, but he thought he shouldn't be crying anymore.

Still he couldn`t open his mind to anyone because they have lived together for a long time. So when he went to the woods to get some things to sell, he thought the woods was the most place that he feels comfortable. Kamigi thought he should move in to the woods, and make a little cottage that he can live. That thay he stayed at the woods to build the cottage. When it was afternoon he went back to his house, he didn`t need to eat that day because he was so excited about the new cottage, and also living in the woods. The next day he forgot to even eat his breakfast. Kamigi went straight to the woods, he started building his cottage. Arter 3 days he finished the cottage. Kamigi went back to his home and stuffed everything into a cloth and said goodbye to the house and to the great memories when he lived with sakik, and headed to the woods. He went into his little cottage, got out all his things from the cloth. Kamigi went to get some food for dinner, when he got back it was already dark, but the gleaming moon made it look like morning. After he ate his dinner he got out some futon that was in the cloth, Kamigi went to sleep. Whem Kamigi woke up the sun started to rise. So he put his futon away to get his breakfast. When he went out Kamigi can see a old tree, but with a good looking apples on the tree. Kamigi never knew that there was a tree, even though he thought he knew everything around the woods. Anyways Kamigi started to cimbing the old tree, Kamigi thought the tree was slippery because it was old. When Kamigi reached to the top he saw this very good apple that was looking fresh. When he reached for it he slipped and fell from the tree, and landed on his head. Kamigi wasn`t sure what happened after that but he fainted for a while. Kamigi felt a thick wet thing licking him, when he noticed lots of animals were sarrounding Kamigi. Kamigi got up quickly, he was puzzled for a while. Kamigi heared a voice from one of the animals, he thought he got a little bit tired because of falling down from the tree. So he got up and headed to his cottage. When he asked himself about what happened a bear came to him. Kamigi tried to run away from the bear, but before he could run for his life the bear got Kamigi`s sleave. Kamigi thought the bear would attack him but the bear smiled at him and said "Oh, you fell from the tree, and landed from your head." Kamigi couldn`t believe what he was hearing. A bear talking!!! Kamigi asked " Hey bear, how can I talk to you?" "Well......." The bear said "There`s this legend story that who ever falls from a tree in this wood can talk to animals, we thought that it wasn`t true but right now this happened so I guess its true." Kamigi was first puzzled but he started to get it. Then a deer came to Kamigi and said "So why did you come to the woods?" Kamigi tried to tell the Deer about why he came to the woods, but when he thought about Sakiko tears came rolling down his cheek. All the animals felt so sad that they sarrounded Kamigi. After Kamigi got calm he started to tell why he came to live in the woods. The anilmals felt so shocked the animals was the one who was crying now. Kamigi didn`t forget about the part that he can`t open his mind anyone. " Its quite a miracle that I can talk to you guys, its quite a while for me to talk to people. Or rather say animals?" After a few days meeting the animals Kamigi and the animals were becoming a great friends. The animals helped Kamigi picking the foods. One day when Kamigi went to pick the foods alone the animals gathered around the leader which is the bear called Bear said " Kamigi was very nice to us and did not ran away from us when we talked to him. So do you remember Kamigi told us about why he came to the woods and he couldn`t open his mind to other people? Thats why we are going to think about making Kamigi`s mind opening ti other people again so he can go and talk to people not always the animal. Do you think this is a great idea?" All the animals nodded their head. After a minute Kamigi came back to his cottage. When he put the fruits and vegetables on the floor he went to find the animals. But the animals were hinding in the cave, planning how to open Kamigi`s mind. The animals keep on giving ideas to the leader Bear. But nothing was good, it was like talk to the human, tell Kamigi to open his mind, on and on. The Bear said no to all the ideas, soon all the animals were out of ideas, even the idea freak called Fox was out of ideas. So the Bear said Kamigi would get worried, we should get back. When all the animals came back Kamigi was happy and mad. " Where were you?　I was worried sick!!" Kamigi said. The leader Bear said " We were playing hide and seek, and Fox was it and we were all hiding in the cave but Fox was hiding with us. Time passed and we didn`t know that for like 30 minutes. When we noticed it was like late, we hurried back." Kamigi for gived the animals. Kamigi went back to his cottage and the animals went to the far, far woods to plan how to open Kamigi`s mind. But they were so sleepy that they slept in the middle of the meeting, only the leader Bear didn`t sleep he was thinking till morning. Before all the animals woke up Bear thought of an idea. He waited the animals to wake up. Bear was so excited that he could no longer wait. He roared in their ears so they would be awake. The animals got up sleeply but when they all heard that the leader got a idea they totally forgot about being sleepy. " Well my idea is........ we can pretend that we are talking but talk about all the memories about Kamigi`s wife. Then also talk about how his wife won`t be that happy living in the woods and always talking to us animals. We have to talk about it when Kamigi`s around, and pretend that we don`t notice." Everyone thought that was a great idea. " We should do this plan tomorrow" Said Fox. When they went back to the cottage to say good morning to Kamigi. They tried to find Kamigi but they noticed that is was only 5:00 in the morning. They all waited for Kamigi to wake up. They got bored so they went to get some breakfast for Kamigi. When they finished getting the fruits the animals went back to Kamigi`s cottage. Kamigi came out his caottage all dressed. The animals gave the fruits that they got in the morning to Kamigi. Kamigi was so suprise and also happy in the same time. When kamigi ate the fruits he gave the fruits to the animals too. Kamigi thanked the animals. Today was the day that the animals were going to work on the plan. They went near Kamigi, when Kamigi was picking his lunch. " I was was crying when Kamigi told me the reason that he came to the woods" Said Bear. " Yeah I know, but if I was Kamigi I would go back to his old home because theres lots, and lots of memory when he lived with Sakiko. Also Sakiko wouldn`t be happy." Said Fox. Kamigi was listening to what the Bear and fox was saying. Kamigi stopped his work, he thought for a while about Sakiko. Then went to Bear and Fox. " I was thinking about what you guys just said, and I thought of going back to my old house for a while, but I will came back here. I just don`t want Sakiko to be sad, also I don`t want to die before Sakiko is still sad. I want to get back my memories. I hope Sakiko would be happy, when I think that Sakiko`s happy I will come back and live with you guys and stay at the cottage." Said kamigi. The animals were so happy, but sad at the same time. Kamigi wondered why they were happy. " Well the reason that we are happy is because." Said Fox, " Is because we were kind of thinking that we wanted to help you open your mind again. And Sakiko wouldn`t be happy that you are friends with animals all the time. So all the animlas in the woods came together and planned. That`s why we weren`t there when you tried to find us. But I`m really sorry about lying to you, we wanted to make it a suprise." Said Bear. Kamigi went back to his cottage with Bear and Fox. Kamigi got back to his cottage and started to pack his things. When he got ready kamigi said good bye to all the animals, he headed back to his old house. When Kamigi got back to old house he started to unpcack, he thought about all the good and bad memories that he spend with Sakiko.

After a week he went to the woods to checck on the animals, so the next day Kamigi went to the woods. The animals were having fun and also they were kind of looking sad. When the animals saw Kamigi they had the biggest smile on their face. Kamigi run to the animals and hugged them so tight that they couldn`t breathe. " Hi!! I was so sad but when I remembered all the memories about Sakio I felt like sakiko kind of felt like she was happy. So I thought it was time to come back to the woods, and live with you guys again." Said Kamigi, the animals was so happy and also half crying. They lived their most of their life with each other. Also helped each other when they needed each other. " They are very caring to each other, annd I`m so happy that you are happy. When you are happy you make me happy Kamigi." Said Sakiko from way up high, in heaven.
