"That could be fun! I bet you can get pretty good views from up high." She pause to take another bite. "I don't think I'm all that great at climbing trees," she said with a nervous-like laugh. "I sometimes fall out."

"You'll be fine with me." He eyed Sarai over his muffin as he popped another piece in his mouth. His mind whirling and formulating ideas about where they could go for the best views. "I won't let you fall."

Sarai smiled and nodded. "I trust you." She meant it, too. She didn't know why, but though she had just met him, she did trust him. She finished her muffin and wiped her face. "Alright then, lets go!"

He popped the last bit of muffin in his mouth and started in the direction of the front door. "Do you mind if I lead the way again today?"
He opened the door and motioned for Sarai to go through first.

Sarai followed him to the door and went out when he motioned. "Thank you," she said referring to him holding the door. "That's prolly best, considering I seem to have no sense of direction," she laughed. She was glad to let him lead, wondering where he would take them.

"Good, because I've got some things I want to you today." He closed the door and began to head away from the house and into the woods. He stopped and looked back at her over his shoulder to make sure she was following. Excitement was thrumming though him, he hoped that she would like what he was going to show her today.

Sarai kept her gaze on him as he walked ahead. She trotted to catch up. "Oh really?" she asked excitedly. She was thoroughly curious now, and it was showing.

Rajani smiled at her curioustiy. "Yes really."
The woods around them began to thicken with tree as they moved deeper in. "Are you afraid of heights?"

Sarai looked at the tress, trying to figure out if she knew where they were or where they were going. "No, not usually," she replied. She was wondering where they were going. "Now I'm going to die from curiosity," she laughed.

"Can't have that, I'd have no where to bury you out here," he said with a very serious tone of voice, his face wearing an expression to match the tone. But his eyes twinkled with amusement. "We're almost there."

She watched his expression and tried her best not to laugh at his comment. She knew he wasn't really serious. "Good!" she exclaimed as she looked around.

"We're here." He stopped at the base of an exremely large tree. Its trunk three times larger than that of an average tree. And its canopy rose up way above the other trees.

"Whoa," she breathed as she looked up the length of the trunk. "It's enormous!" She reached out her paw and knocked on the bark of the tree. "I didn't know trees could grow so big," she laughed.

"Most trees are cut down before they're old enough to reach this size." He circled around to the other side of the tree and hopped up on a low hanging sturdy branch.

Sarai followed him around and placed her paws against the tree, looking up at him. She hadn't thought about the trees being cut down. "So how old do you think this tree is?"
