Koda was a good little bear and he always listened to his Mother and she told him not to wander away because he might get lost. Koda snuck away while she was in the water looking for a fish for him. Then he saw the butterflies and he followed them into the forest he wanted to know where they were going. He wanted to play with his new friends. After chasing them further away from his Mother, he was tired of chasing them so he laid on the grass.

Then a butterfly flew and it landed right on his nose. "That tickles" he said to the butterfly. He thought to himself maybe it was saying hello to him. Then the butterfly flew away again and he followed them once again and he followed them further into the forest and after a while the butterflies flew away up up up they went straight up into the trees and Koda couldn't see where they went so he said good bye to the butterflies.

Then he realized that he was lost and while he was trying to get back to his Mother, he finds a path and he finds an old otter who befriends him. Then he is going back to where he last saw his Mother at the river's edge and when he gets there his Mother is gone. Then Koda leaves on his own going in the forest alone and looking for his Mother alone.
