Once upon a time, there were three brothers. There was Jimmy who is 8; Brandon who is 10, and Jordan the oldest who is 12.

The three brothers were camping in their backyard which backed up to the woods.  

Jimmy was scared of the woods and Brandon liked to make fun of him. Jordan was very protective of his brothers but especially Jimmy.

The moon was full that night and the woods looked especially creepy.

The light from the moon made it seem like little monsters were peeping out at them.

Jimmy tried hard to ignore his fears and continued playing with his brothers.

They were having fun when all of a sudden...

Crack! Crack! crack!

A noise came from the woods!

They quickly turned towards the woods and it looked like there were ghosts in the shadows!

Jimmy said, " I'm really scared, what was that?" He was shaking. Jordan was making fun of Jimmy "Look at Jimmy, what a BABY!". 

"Stop making fun of Jimmy" Brandon Said.  "I will go into the woods and find out what is making that noise".

Brandon goes off into the woods.  The woods look dark and scary, but he wants to be brave for his brothers.

He can not see much, but he can hear the noises and moves to where he thinks the sounds are coming from.

Brandon did not come back so the two brothers got very scared and looked into the woods. They sat close together and hugged by the fire.

The woods were dark and ominous. The moonlight made the shadows of the trees horrifying!

They had to do something...

Jimmy decides to go into the woods.  He takes a big stick and a lantern with him.

He was very scared but he had to be brave for his brother Brandon. So, he walked deeper into the woods.

Jimmy could hear sounds coming from all sides, but he kept marching on.
