The Legend of Willow's Flock: The Little Goose

Juniper was the smallest goose of the entire flock. Because she was so small most of the other geese felt they could always boss her around. Which was true considering not only was she small but she was very paranoid and did not usually get along with other geese all that well. Despite all her difficulties Cypress persevered as her gander and he loved her.

As usual Juniper was being bossed around. This time she was in a ring of rocks which inside the ring contained four trees and plenty of crispy, brown leaves covered the ground. She had made her way through the multitude of crispy leaves to drink out a blue water barrel when another goose who had already been in the ring chased her off quite viciously. 

One goose named Elm saw this scene and felt sorry for the little goose who had been viciously chased. She decided she would go talk to the little goose. She started the conversation by saying to the little goose, "I am sorry about how that goose treated you. You have that happen to you a lot, I see. I would be happy to keep you company and fend off whoever I can." The little goose was surprised at being spoken to so nicely. "Well, that would be nice. You remind me of a friend of mine - Sugar Maple," said Juniper. "Oh. I am her daughter and happen to have striking resemblance in looks and voice," replied Elm. "In that case I would definitely want you to hang out with me. I would not want to refuse such an opportunity," said the little goose.

And from that day on, the two became good friends. Elm could not always fend off geese but with her help Juniper became a much more accepted goose in the flock.
