Fourteen years old Little Joe had had enough, oh yes, enoug h of his bossy older brother, "Joe do this, Joe do that. Joe you're doing it wrong, have you learned anything I taught you." When Adam yelled the last thing Joe had ran. But he didn't know where to, they where miles from home. For a week the brothers had marked the trees, in Southern forests, what logging crew must cut down and Joe wanted to go home so he had become sloppy. Now he was lost, he had run and left Cochise, he didn't know why. Cochise would have known way to home or back to Adam, but Joe didn't. Now he was in the middle of the large forest, for three days he had wandered around to find the way out, but it was in vain. He knew that he had to stay in this dark and cold forest for another night, maybe he will find his way out tomorrow.
He had just gotten his little fire lit, when he heard someone's call from distance, he froze, who could that be in the middle of the night, then he hear it nearer and after that a whine he knew.
"Adam!" he yell, seconds passed.
"Joe!" came a yell again and few minutes later his older brother appeared on Sport and with Cochise on tale.
"I'm sorry Adam that I ran away." Joe cried out those words and ran into Adams arms.
"It's me who should apologize to you, I should have not yelled. I wanted to go home as much as you, that's why I yelled when you got sloppy, we had so little to do. I finished it all after you ran away. I thought you will come back but you didn't, do you know how worried and scared I have been, I have been looking for three days."
Joe started to cry harder at Adams words, "I'm sorry I didn't know what I was doing. I was afraid and worried too, I didn't mean to leave you alone."
"Already forgotten, buddy, already forgotten. Now let's make a camp around this fire of yours and spend the night here, tomorrow we're off to home." Joe smiled and nodded, he should have known his older brother would find him.
