Chapter 5 · Losing His Mother

Winter came, and the forest was covered in deep snow.

Bambi followed his mother, searching for food in the snow.

The snow was cold, but they kept walking.

Bambi’s mother lowered her head and found some tender grass.

She said, “Eat quickly, Bambi.”

Bambi happily chewed the grass.

Suddenly, his mother lifted her head, her ears alert.

She said urgently, “Bambi, run!”

A gunshot rang out in the forest.

Bambi ran desperately into the woods.

Panting, he stopped and looked around.

“Mother!” Bambi cried out.

But his mother did not answer.

There was only the sound of the wind in the forest.

Bambi called again, “Mother! Where are you?”

The snowy meadow was empty, and he stood all alone.

Bambi’s eyes were filled with fear and confusion.

Crying, he ran deeper into the woods.

Then, a tall figure came walking toward him.

It was the Great Prince of the Forest, who said in a deep voice, “Bambi, your mother is gone.”
