I rested on the branch, closing my eyes and soaking up the warm evening sun. The recent rain made the familiar forest smell richer, the scents more vivid. I listened to the calls of the other animals in the forest. I heard none of the alarm calls that would mean a predator was near; the forest was as safe as it always was. I sighed in contentment. Maybe I'd have a nap. I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face.
The sharp snap of a twig woke me with a start. It was dark now; the pleasant warmth had disappeared. I listened carefully, and heard more snaps and crunching sounds; a large animal was crashing through the undergrowth below. I hadn't heard anything like it before. I scrambled to my feet, my pulse loud in my ears. I paused for a moment, thinking. It could be dangerous...I shivered, thinking of giant snakes and jaguars. But a predator would never be so loud...nothing I knew of in the rainforest was so loud, so awkward. I was scared, but I was also curious. Carefully, I crept in the direction of the noises. Closer... a little closer. Whatever it was, I must be right above it. The crashing noises stopped, and I heard the heavy breathing of at least two large creatures. One with a low voice spoke softly, and the other, who's voice had a higher pitch, seemed to reply. I felt the air move, and the leaves in front of me rustled as they were pushed aside.
I froze. Had they seen me? What would they do? The high-pitched voice spoke agian, and although I could not understand the words, they seemed to be directed at me this time. The sound was somehow comforting, rather than scary. Hesitantly, I took a small step forwards. Gently but firmly, large hands picked me easily off the branch. I felt the creature's warm breath on my face for a moment, and then I was lowered down into a small box.
