Bambi (20 page)

Bambi turned and, gliding into the bushes, disappeared before they had come to their senses. He walked along.

“The little fellow pleases me,” he thought, “perhaps I'll meet him again when he's larger. . . .”

He walked along. “The little girl is nice too,” he thought. “Faline looked like that when she was a fawn.”

He went on, and vanished in the forest.
