Bambi couldn't remember ever being so scared. A human had never been this close to him. His mother taught him to stay away from humans and to run when he saw them, but now he couldn't get away because he had hurt his hoof. He was very surprised that she was being friendly. It seemed like she wanted to talk to him and be his friend.<br/><br/>"I hurt my hoof" he said sadly. "I cannot trot across this field. I will never find my mother now." He hung his head in despair. But then he realized that maybe the girl had seen his mother.<br/><br/>"Have you seen my mommy?" he asked "She is a doe who looks like me, except she is taller and doesn't have white spots like I do because she is older."<br/><br/>On a certain, subconscious level, Bambi was aware that the hunters probably got his mother. But he was not ready to process that yet and did not understand. He wanted to keep looking for her.<br/><br/>"I sure hope I find my mommy before nighttime" he added "I get a-scared when I am alone at night."<br/><br/>Bambi always worried about wolves or hunters getting him when it was nighttime. He also got so cold at night since he didn't have his mother to snuggle up against anymore.
