One good day, a young mouse deer, named Mousy was walking alone in a jungle. He was looking for his best friend, a little squirrel, named Squicy.
After walking for a while, he didn't meet Squicy, instead he met some eagles. "Hi Birdy, did you see Squicy lately?" asked Mousy to the eagles. "Yes we did, yesterday we saw him playing with some turtles near a small pond." replied of the eagles.
Then, Mousy went to the pond like eagle said, but he was disappointed because he didn't see Squicy. "Hi guys, where is Squicy?" asked Mousy to the turtles. "He just left an hour ago, he went to the river not far from here." replied one of the turtles.
Mousy ran to the river quickly, but again he was disappointed. He didn't see Squicy. He just met some elphants, wolves, and rabbits. "Any one saw my friend Squicy?" asked Mousy. "Sorry Mousy, we didn't see your friend" replied one of the elephant.
Mousy walked down along the riverbank, then he met giraffes and beautiful birds. "Hi Mousy, where are you going?, you look sad today." asked one of the giraffes. " "I am okay, i am looking for Squicy. Did you or birds see him?" replied Mousy. "Sorry my friend, none of us saw Squicy, try to find him further down." said one of the birds. "Thank you my friends." replied Mousy.
Mousy continued his journey, he walked further down of the riverbank, and shortly he met some snakes, he hoped the snakes saw Squicy around there. "How are you Mousy, long time not see you? are you looking for Squicy? he just crossed the river." said one of the snakes. "I am fine, yes, I am looking for Scuicy, and thank you for your information." said Mousy.
Mousy felt tired, and desperately because he couldn't swim to cross the river, so he just sat on the riverbank. Suddenly, a crocodile shown up and asked him. "What's up squicy?, you look very sad." "I want to meet my friend Squicy, he just crossed the river, and I couldn't swim to catch him." replied Mousy. "Don't worry squicy, I will help you to cross the river." said crocodile again. "Oh really?" said Mousy.
The crocodile called some of his friends. All crocodile worked together, they made a long row as a bridge for Mousy, then one of the crocodile asked Mousy to jump. Mousy jumped from one crocodile to another crocodiles, and finally he could cross the river. Mousy said thank you to all crocodiles.
As soon as Mousy crossed the river, he met a lion family. Luckily, the lion king knew where the Squicy was. The lion king said that Squicy was playing with monkeys not far from them.
Mousy walked slowly passing several big trees, and shortly he saw Squicy was playing with a monkey family.
Mousy was very happy meeting his best friend, so did Squicy. They played together all day long. They promised that they will always close to each other forever.
