There once was a little boy named Peer Gynt. He was a very bad boy. He stole things, played tricks, and never helped his mother. Peer would often spend time in the woods near his house, exploring the two mountains nearby for treasures. His mother always told him about the dangers of the mountains, but he never believed her.
Each day, Peer’s mother told him that he needed to be home before sundown. As he ran out of the door, his mother would always yell, “Please, stay away from any strange areas! And be home before dark!” As luck would have it, Peer usually made it home just in time, so he wasn’t worried.
Peer explored the two mountains and did not find anything. He sat down by a pine tree and dozed off for a few minutes. He wasn’t asleep for long when he was startled by a bird chirping in a nest just above his head.
