Chapter 4: Meet Nina

After thinking for a while, the chipmunk said to Arena, "I know someone who can help you. She is very, very old, wise smart and kind, and her name is Nina."
"You do? Where is she?" Arena said, surprised.
And the chipmunk said, "Only a short way from here, come on."
So Arena and the chipmunk started off into the woods.
"Are you sure it's a short way to where she lives?" asked Arena.
"I'm sure." said the chipmunk, almost sternly.
"Okay, okay." Arena said.
The leaves crackled as they walked among them.
Soon they came to a river, and jumped from rock to rock to pass it. Arena laughed because she was having so much fun.
Because the little chipmunk was so small, Arena had to help him across the river. But she didn't mind a bit.
After they crossed the river, they only had a little ways to walk to reach Nina's home! She lived in a tree too, just like Arena. And there was a wooden door at the entrance of the tree with a wooden dorrknob. "Here we are." said the chipmunk, happily. Arena smiled and said, "Good." Ten she knocked on the doorr. Just then a sweet and kind voice said, "Come in." And Arena opened the door. "Meet Nina." said the chipmunk to Arena.
