The wind pleasantly tousled Olaf’s hair. It reminded him of sailing masts and the journey to faraway lands and sea adventures ahead. He decided to ask his new friend Yessy to join him, so he told his friend, “I am about to sail off for an adventure across the rivers, seas, and oceans. Right now, I am on my way to find some sailing masts in the pine tree forest. Do you want to join me in my adventure? We will have so much fun!”

“And with my magic whistle the journey will be even more fun!” Yessy was very happy about the invitation and whistled so loudly that the trees bent because of the wind. “I know this forest well and can show you where to find some good pine trees!”

They quickly reached the pine tree forest.

“Here the pine trees are straight but not very tall,” said Olaf, who knew what to do, “Let’s go deeper into the woods—there we can find good pine trees near the river at the far edge of the bank by the sheer drop.”

They walked faster and suddenly saw a strange looking bush. From a distance you could have seen that it was shaking. The friends decided to take a look at the bush but they did not know what was going on. When they came up to the bush, Olaf spread out the branches and saw a big hare. The hare was shaking in fear.

Olaf smiled and bended toward the hare, so he could see him very close and said in calm voice, “DON’T BE AFRAID.”

The Olaf’s words worked their magic and the hare stopped trembling. With both ears up, the hare squinted one eye and asked, “Who are you?”

“I am Olaf the Elf,” Olaf said.

“Nice to meet you, Olaf. And I am the Brave Hare!”

Both Olaf and Yessy could not keep from laughing.

“So, you’re the brave hare…,” Olaf asked. “And what are you doing here in the bushes?”
