"Hey everyone, look at Fernpaw!" The call cuts across the clearing to where I am sitting, followed by laughter in response to what must obviously be the funniest thing anyone has ever said about me. I sigh and close my eyes. The smart thing to do would be to let their comments slide off of me like ice, but no one ever tells you how hard that is to do. No one ever tells me anything, anyway. I grapple with Mintpaw. She easily outwieghs me by several pounds, and beats me in seconds. My mentor Eaglespots pads over looking angry. I turn and agknowledge her. "Yes?" So this is how they tell me.
