Chapter 2 · Learning to Walk and Making Friends

In the morning sunlight, the little fawn practiced walking beside his mother.

He carefully took one step, then another.

Bambi fell down, and Thumper said, “He hasn’t learned to walk well yet.”

Thumper’s mother interrupted, “What did your father tell you this morning?”

Thumper answered obediently, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.”

Bambi’s mother gently encouraged him, “Come on, get up quickly.”

The little rabbits cheered, “Come on, Bambi, try again, try to stand up!”

Bambi slowly stood up, started walking, and soon ran along with the rabbits.

Thumper proudly said, “I’m always thumping, that’s why they call me Thumper.”

Happily, they came to a log, and all the little rabbits hopped over it.

Bambi hesitated, and the rabbits shouted, “Jump over, jump over, just like this!”

Bambi took a few steps back, rushed forward, but didn’t make it over.

Thumper said, “You didn’t jump high enough.”

He tried again, lifted his other leg higher, and finally made it over.

A little bird sang on a branch.

Thumper introduced, “This is a bird.”

Bambi tried to speak, opening his mouth and working hard to make a sound.

He slowly said, “Bird…”

The little rabbits clapped happily, “Bambi can talk! He can say ‘bird’!”

The forest echoed with the children’s laughter, and Bambi felt the warmth of friendship for the first time.

Just then, a butterfly flew by.

Thumper told Bambi, “That’s a butterfly.”

The butterfly flew into a patch of flowers.

Thumper said, “These are flowers.”

The little fawn sniffed the sweet smell of the flowers.

Suddenly, a little skunk appeared among the flowers.

The fawn asked in surprise, “Are you a flower?”

The skunk smiled and said, “If you like, you can call me Flower.”

Thumper laughed, “Flower is a perfect name!”

From then on, they became good friends.
