Once in a large, peaceful, and beautiful kingdom called Shurburt, lived an elf named Aubree. This young girl was eleven. Aubree was extremely helpful, courteous, and humane. She was very human-like. However, she had big blue ears on each side of her face. Not only was she born with unique ears, but she also had a rare light blue oval on her stomach. 

One day, a small foolish elf named Aldon saw Aubree walking by and thought of something absolutely evil! Aldon and Aubree were always enemies since they were little. 

Because of this, he blamed Aubree for knocking over the most precious gold vase. The vase belonged to the king and queen of their kingdom. He secretly went into the castle and knocked over the vase. Once the vase was shattered, Aldon ran to the King and Queen to tell them his lie. This was super bad for Aubree and to make matters worse, Aubree received a horrible punishment! For punishment, Aubree had to leave her kingdom. She sadly walked away without looking back. 

When she thought that the worst had come, something extremely unpleasant happened. She was LOST! There was pitch blackness everywhere, owls hooting, and eyes in the dark. She worried about how she was going to survive. 

Rustle growl....

HOOT! RUMBLE...

Aubree needed food, shelter, and defenses in the case of dangerous animals, but all she had was a blanket, water, and a backpack! After a while, she calmed down a little and fell asleep through the night. 

In the morning, she found a stream. She even found a stick, a long thin strong string, and a wiggly worm! All of a sudden, a huge idea popped up in her mind! She could create a fishing rod! Moments later, she created one. After some time, she caught a small fish.

Later, Aubree created a flaming fire with two rocks! She cleaned the fish on the inside and roasted it for breakfast. 

After eating, she explored the mysterious forest. Aubree wondered, “Maybe it's just a little scary at night. It seems really bright and cheerful during the day..." 

Aubree decided to go walking to get some exercise. She walked and walked. After a while, she rested under a Banyan tree and drank some water when something caught her eye. 

Phew! So tired! Puff wheeze...

Across the bridge, not far away, there was a big vibrant light shining! Aubree rushed with pure joy. “Yes! I knew I would discover a whole different place," she said proudly. She quickly ran across the bridge. 

As she approached the bridge, she came face to face with a giant tiger. It was not a normal tiger, it was a rare white tiger. It had luxurious blue eyes and was striped all across its body! It growled so deeply that the floor shook violently. 

Aubree remembered when she was small, she read a book about How To Tame A Wild Tiger. The only step she remembered was to let the tiger sniff your hand. Then, scratch its chin and head lightly. Aubree did exactly as the book said and it worked. The tiger happily purred loudly and rolled onto his belly with a huge THUMP!

As Aubree gently touched the tiger's paws, it yowled a painful whine! Aubree saw the tiger had a porcupine spine stuck in his paw.

 I'm down here. just don't touch the crystal!"
