Chapter 5

Keeker raced back the way she’d come, found the trail and hurried up it. She burst onto the clearing, and there was Plum, standing in a blackberry bramble.

Plum was covered in purple smudges, and her saddle was crooked. She looked grumpy.

Keeker ran to try to catch her, and Plum ran away, dragging bits of blackberry bush with her.

This went on for a while.

“Why can’t I catch her?” moaned Keeker. She was almost ready to cry again. But she didn’t. Instead, she sat down and thought some more. She remembered something her father had said, something about “I’ll scratch your back if you’ll scratch mine.”

Then she had an idea. She ran off to find the perfect scratching stick. Then, she started walking verrrrry slowly towards Plum.

“What’s she up to?” thought Plum. She kept one eye on the berry she was nibbling, one eye on Keeker.

Keeker got closer

and closer

and closer,

until she was only a few feet away.

Keeker reached out with the stick and began to scratch. Plum was a little startled, but then the scratching began to feel really good. Especially since she was covered in burrs and blackberry goo and was probably the itchiest she’d ever been in her whole life.

“Oooooooooooo, I like this girrrrrrrrrrrllllll,” sighed Plum as she leaned into the delicious scratching. She wiggled her lip and swished her tail. Keeker scratched and scratched and scratched.
