One step too many,

One hair too thin.

And that's when the boy saw her.

Too close.

Run away.

But she couldn't do it fast enough,

And the boy saw her.

Small boy, ugly boy.

Stupid nosy little boy.

Who are you?

What a scary question.

Go away!

Mushroom Girl ran.

Ow, ow, fingers too sharp!

Let go!

Stupid nosy little boy.

Nothing there but the forest.

So? Go away! Let go!

Mama says its dangerous in there.

So? Not my mama.

The fingers were gone, and so was the Mushroom Girl.

She had gone too close.

He had seen her.

She hid.

Mama, there's a girl out there.

There?

Yeah. Can I play with her?

Out there?

Mama picks up the phone.

Stupid nosy litle boy.
