Zelen's Maize Maze

Zelen loved her farmer friend and loved her friend's farm. She loved sitting in the corn fields, eating Roasted Sunflower Seeds and just breathing in the fresh air. When Zelen's friend told her that fall meant the fields would be turned into a giant corn maze, Zelen knew what she had to do. She called up her Zee Zee pals and asked if anyone wanted to explore the cornfields with her one last time. Grizlee and Beezy both excitedly agreed, Grizlee suggested they go camping in the fields. 'We'll pack the snacks; you pack the camping gear!' Zelen cheered.

The next morning Grizlee showed up to the farm as promised. He had a big backpack, which he explained had three tents inside. Zelen and Beezy, who had been in charge of bringing snacks, showed off their bags of food. Zelen, remembering Beezy's favorite food, had packed a whole bag of Honey Roasted Sunflower Kernels. Beezy, remembering Zelen's favorite food, had packed Zelen's favorite, Roasted Sunflower Seeds. The Zee Zees laughed at packing the other's favorite food, and happily swapped bags, sharing their sunflower seeds with Grizlee too!

The three Zee Zees had a wonderful day eating sunflower seeds and exploring the cornfields, and when night came, Zelen and Beezy happily watched Grizlee set up their tents. When the morning came, the Zee Zees packed up their camp and got ready to head back to the farm house. Zelen was happily eating some of Beezy's Honey Roasted Sunflower Kernels when she realized her two friends were looking at her. She asked what was wrong and Grizlee explained they were waiting for her to lead them back. 'Lead?' Zelen asked. 'I don't know the way back! I was just wandering; I wasn't following any path!'

Beezy and Grizlee looked startled. 'Oh no!' Zelen realized. They were lost. What could they do? Zelen nervously raised a handful of sunflower seeds to her mouth, thinking about how to get Beezy and Grizlee back to the farm. Some of the sunflower seeds dropped to the ground and she looked down at them, then in the direction the three Zee Zees had come from. 'Look behind us!' she cheered. Grizlee looked puzzled, all he could see was an endless stream of corn stalks. 'We've been eating Roasted Sunflower Kernels and Honey Roasted Sunflower Kernels this whole time,' Zelen explained. 'Some of them dropped. Now there's a trail behind us and we can follow it back!'

It didn't take very long for Zelen, Beezy, and Grizlee to find their way back to the farm. When they left the cornfield, Zelen's human farmer friend was there waiting for them. 'You made it!' the farmer said. 'You were gone longer than I expected, what happened?' Zelen, Beezy, and Grizlee shared a smile. 'We had an adventure,' Beezy said.
