"He loved the quiet, but the woods began to bustle with life."

"One day, he heard an echo from the distance."

"It was a ghoul, a ghost, or perhaps a ghastly gnome."

"Buddy decided to investigate and fasten his courage."

"He followed the sound, through thistle and bush."

"Buddy saw a small gnat wrestling with a leaf."

"He helped the gnat, then continued to listen for the sound."

"Finally, he found a chute leading underground."

"He slid down the chute into a glistening cave."

"In the cave, he found a choir of gnomes, causing the echo."

"Buddy joined the gnome choir, adding his voice to the rustle of the woods."
