Some animals lived with their families. Others lived in groups. But Chinke liked to live alone. She liked being free. She liked to explore new places. Chinke thought she was brave. She loved adventures. The forest was huge, and every week she found new places she had never seen before. Sometimes she found sparkling streams. Sometimes she found tall hills.

One afternoon, the crow, the mole, ...
