Wolf Brother: Descriptive Paragraphs


Descriptive Paragraphs
The spring sun was high in the sky but was hidden behind the dense branches. The bright and warm sun ray prodded through the fissures in between the boughs as it melted the frost on the berry bushes and the icy streams. The ground was muddy and living once again as the wild flowers bloomed gracefully. The forest was peaceful and quiet other than the sound of fast running water. The birds that just got back from the South were resting on the thin branches after flying for weeks. The energetic but hungry bears just woke up from their long dreams during hibernation, silently searching for food. The wolves intermittently howled at somewhere far away. As the hunter roamed around his campus, he could almost taste the refreshing minty and sweet smell of the pine and cedar trees mixed together in his mouth. He collected a basket of fresh berries from the berry bushes and was mesmerized by the strong nectarous smell.
I sat on a black stone like a pure gem alone. I sang as the birds hummed along. Watching the nature gradually resurrecting from the deadly winter is like listening to a long and slow piece of music becoming faster and at the same time, more enjoyable, and as the joy and bliss behind the never-melting frost is finally shown completely in the warmth. I ate a rabbit leg that I just cooked on the open fire, and prayed that it would draw no animals. As I enjoyed the peace and calmness of this forest and forgot the time, I realized the sun is already down. This piece of rabbit leg plus the scene in front of my eyes got me eating for hours. It seemed like I got stuck in my day dream until the crisp breeze blew me awake. I threw the rest of the rabbit leg by the river, letting it become the food of the wild creatures.
      The two young hunters took small and quiet steps on their tiptoes towards the deer behind the trees. They walked as silent as they could. At the time, they walked cautiously with their hunting guns on their hands. Suddenly, the deer sensed danger and looked back suddenly. It started running to the opposite direction because it spotted the hunters coming towards it. The hunters fired at the deer which was helplessly aimed already. But because of its speed, the first shot missed. But as the shooter reloaded and ran after, the other hunter aimed carefully through the trees and “Bam”. The deer fell as its soul was suddenly taken out of its body. However, it managed to keep running with its bleeding neck. Its determined and valiant spirit kept it running. The first hunter took a shot patiently as its appearance was almost blocked behind the thick trunks of the trees. However, he did not miss this time but shot the deer’s neck. It fell at once. Its body twitched hard as it had gotten a seizure. It was a piece of dead meat a minute after. The hunters cut it up and collected the useful parts on the spot.
