When Bambi woke up and saw snow on the forest floor, he felt sad. It was still winter!
His mum had found a nice place for the winter, but it was difficult for him to meet his friends. It always took him a long time to walk through the woods. The worst thing was the frozen lake.
But on that cold morning, Bambi wanted to fight with his fear. He stood bravely in front of the ice-covered lake. He could see his friends, the squirrel and the rabbit, playing on the opposite side!
Bambi put one of his feet on the ice, and then a second and a third. But suddenly, he fell down! He tried and tried but still failed. He decided to try again the next day.
His friends were watching him. They looked worried!
The next morning, his mother said, "Wake up, Bambi! Your friends have made something special for you!"
Bambi opened his eyes. The rabbit and the squirrel were there, holding four strange things in their hands. What could they be?
"We call them ‘skates' ! They're for your feet!" the squirrel said.
"With these on, you can walk through the ice to see us any time you want!" added the rabbit.
They hurried Bambi down to the lake and asked him to put on the skates.
Bambi almost fell down as he walked onto the ice. But by moving them sideways, he found that he could skate across the ice. His mother and friends cheered for him.
Perhaps winter could be fun!
