The Story Of Redwall In A Journal
Chapter 3
Today I got to go fishing with a mouse that speaks an old native language as well as our animal language. I haven't learned his name yet. It's a little confusing. But the fish we caught was huge! It was enough to everyone in Redwall Abbey. Many critters couldn't believe that I caught it because I was so small. Everyone at the Great feasts (which I learned we have regularly) had a plate full of fish and some creatures even got seconds. My stomach was soooooooo full when I was done, and back at home we never had enough food to be able to have that feeling because we were poor. Cornflower complemented me on my catch and even though everyone else did to, her talking to me means a lot because I kind of like her. All the children during the feast played games and told stories or listened to stories from Father Abbot. Constance the badger (she's really nice just like Mary said) would wrestle with us and tell jokes that would make us roll on the ground laughing with tears in our eyes, because they were so funny. I really enjoy it her because at my old house I never really had any friends, I was more of a quiet type. Yet here I feel as if I've known everyone before. Everyone here is a big family that cares about each other.
As Constance was taking me back to my room I saw a tapestry on the wall. And in the middle was a mouse warrior, with rats all around him. He was battling them to keep Redwall safe. I want to be just like him. I was about to ask Constance a question about the mouse warrior when Constance said "I'll tell you tomorrow Sir Mathias. Right now it's late and time for bed". I was tired and my eyes were starting to get heavy. I was funny when I got back to my room. I realized that I hadn't thought about Mary much today so I took this time to think about her and pray that she and my mum and dad will look down on me, to keep me safe. Right now my eyes are basically closed it feels as if a brick is attached to each of my eyes, so I think I will go to bed now.
