Bambi

 

The story of Bambi and his delightful friends Thumper, the rabbit, and Flower,
the skunk, his mother and father, The Great Prince of the Forest has been 
read to kids for years.  It is a beautiful story but has a great sadness too.

Bambi lives in the forest with his mother,
and his father The Great Prince of the Forest.
All day Bambi romps and plays with his friends
Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk.
But, his father warns him about the hunters,
waiting in the meadow ... we all know the rest !
But, in my version, Bambi's mother is not killed,
the forest is not set on fire, and his mother comes 
home to their den safe and kisses Bambi to sleep.
The forest remains green and lush and Bambi,
grows up big and strong and has lots of babies, 
while Bambi's mother becomes a proud grandma.

Linda Alice Fowler March 25, 2024 at 12:16 PM A sweet little story Constance. Congratulations! :) Constance La France March 26, 2024 at 8:08 AM Linda, thank you for the compliment and congratulations. When my mum read me Bambi as a child, I would cry into my pillow when Bambi's mum died. My mum died when I was an adult and I have cried since that day, hugs, Constance

Gershon Wolf February 17, 2024 at 7:45 PM Thanks for the Happy Ending! I showed this to my kids when they were really young. They all screamed when Bambi's mother was shot. Unfortunately, I hadn't remembered that part... So, good for you. ~ Gershon Constance La France February 18, 2024 at 5:09 AM Gershon, thank you for the compliment and for sharing. I always wished for a different ending to that story and now I had the opportunity to do it ! Children should not have to face death so young there is plenty of time for that in this cruel world, blessings, Constance
