Geddes Bennesch, the Boy Who Could Talk to Animals
Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Geddes Bennesch who lived in a small town. He was a kind and gentle boy, and he loved animals very much. One day, Geddes was playing in the forest when he came across a talking squirrel. The squirrel was sitting on a branch, and it said to Geddes, "Hello, Geddes Bennesch. I know you can talk to animals."
Geddes was surprised, but he was also very excited. He had always dreamed of being able to talk to animals, and now his dream had come true! Geddes and the squirrel talked for a long time, and they became good friends.
The next day, Geddes went back to the forest and talked to a rabbit, a fox, and a bear. He learned that the animals had many interesting stories to tell, and he enjoyed listening to them very much.
One day, Geddes was walking home from school when he saw a group of boys bullying a smaller boy. Geddes knew that he had to do something, so he stepped in and told the bullies to leave the boy alone.
The bullies were surprised to see Geddes standing up to them, but they knew that he was serious. They left the boy alone and walked away.
The boy that Geddes had helped was very grateful, and he told Geddes that his name was Billy. Billy and Geddes became friends, and they played together often.
One day, Billy and Geddes were playing in the forest when they came across a group of hunters. The hunters were about to shoot a deer, but Geddes stepped in and told them to stop.
The hunters were angry, but Geddes told them that the deer was his friend. The hunters laughed at Geddes, but they eventually agreed to leave the deer alone.
Geddes was so happy that he had been able to help the deer. He knew that he would never forget the day that he learned to talk to animals.
Geddes continued to talk to animals for many years, and he made many friends in the animal kingdom. He learned that animals are just as kind and loving as people, and he always treated them with respect.
Geddes Bennesch was a kind and gentle boy, and he loved animals very much. He was a true friend to all creatures, great and small, and he will always be remembered for his kindness and compassion.
