Jack and Annie stood still for a long moment.
Annie spoke first. âWell, I guess the tall ninja was pointing to the east,â she said. âI guess thatâs the way we go.â
âWait,â said Jack. âI need to write some stuff down.â
He took out his notebook. In the moonlight, he wrote:
Look, Jack,â whispered Annie. âDo I look like a ninja?â
He looked at her. She had pulled her sweatshirt hood over her head and tied the strings tightly.
She did look like a ninjaâa very small one.
âGood idea,â Jack whispered. He pulled his hood up, too.
âOkay, letâs go,â said Annie.
Jack put his notebook away. Then he and Annie headed east into the woods.
They slipped between trees. And more trees. And more trees.
All the trees looked the same. Jack got confused. Were they still going in the right direction?
âWait,â he said.
Annie stopped. They both stared at the woods around them.
âDo you think weâre still going east?â asked Jack.
âI guess so,â said Annie.
âWe canât just guess,â said Jack. âWe have to know for sure.â
âHow do we do that?â said Annie. âWe donât have a compass.â
Just then the masterâs words came back to Jack.
âThe ninja master said to use nature,â he said.
âHow do we do that?â said Annie.
âWait, I remember somethingââ Jack closed his eyes.
He remembered something in a camping book. Now what was it?
He opened his eyes. âIâve got it! First we need a stick,â he said.
Annie picked up a stick. âHereââ she said.
âGreat, now we just need a space with moonlight,â said Jack.
âThereââ said Annie.
They moved into a moonlit space between the shadows.
âNow push the stick into the ground,â Jack said.
Annie pushed the stick into the ground.
âThe stickâs shadow looks like itâs more than six inches,â said Jack. âWhat do you think?â
âIt looks like it,â said Annie.
âOkay. Then that means the shadowâs pointing east,â said Jack.
âNeat,â said Annie.
âSo that way is east!â Jack pointed to a new direction. âAt least I hope it is.â
âWeâre real ninjas now!â said Annie.
âYep,â said Jack. âMaybe we are. Come on!â
They took offâheading east, they hoped.
Soon they were out of the pine woods and walking down the rocky mountainside. They moved slowly from rock to rock. Finally they rested against a giant rock.
âLetâs check our direction again,â said Jack.
Annie stuck another stick into the dirt.
âThere,â he said. He pointed to the shadow on the ground. âThat wayââ
Annie peeked over the rock, down the mountain.
âYikes,â she said softly.
Jack looked, too. His heart nearly stopped.
There were flames of fire coming up the mountain. The samurai!
Jack and Annie ducked behind the rock.
Squeak, said the mouse.
âQuiet, Peanut,â said Annie.
Jack reached into his pack. He pulled out the ninja book.
âI hope something in here can help us,â he said.
Jack flipped through page after page until he found what he was looking for. It was a picture of warriors wearing bamboo armor. They were holding swords. He read:
The samurai were fierce Japanese fighters. They carried two swords to cut down their enemies.
