It was not only dark, but it was strangely silent as well and a curious feeling of gloom and unhappiness suddenly crept over Kit. But this did not frighten Kit at all, for he had learned to talk the language of the woods all the time that the other boys were knocking one another on the head and so he soon made friends with every animal in the forest, and they told him the best places to find apples and nuts and blackberries, and the bees brought him the very best honey they could make, and he grew so happy and so contented that he quite forgot he was enchanted and could not escape if he wanted to.īut it is impossible to be happy for long when one is bewitched and, one day, Kit found himself in a part of the forest that was more horrible than any dark passage that was ever invented. The trees were Soso thick overhead that not a streak of sunshine was able to get through, and the forest was so full of wild beasts that it was impossible to walk five yards without tumbling over a lion or a bear. He had not taken two steps before he had completely lost himself. He was not a bit afraid, though, and he plunged straight into the wood without looking back. There they left him, for no one can help anybody to go through an enchanted forest, and Kit knew quickly enough that he must find the Princess by himself. Kit started out on his travels once more and no sooner did he get outside the city gates than he began to whistle his wonderful tune, and down swept all the birds of the air in hundreds, and they flew in front of him as before and led him to the very edge of the enchanted forest.
