Something in the Woods

Something in the Woods is a magazine story.

Plot
One morning, Percy is at the harbour. The stationmaster informs him that Bill and Ben are behind schedule and that Percy must take their trucks. Percy is pleased until he remembers that he will be going through Back Hill Woods, which he finds to be quite scary.

Percy puffs carefully through the woods when he suddenly hears a moaning sound. Percy is frightened and hurries out of the woods as fast as he can. When Percy meets Bill and Ben, the twins say he looks like he's seen a ghost and then laugh at him when Percy claims that he heard one.

When Percy goes through the woods again, he hears the strange noise again. His driver decideds to stop and investigate, despite Percy's protesting. When Percy returns to the harbour, a man from the RSPCA is collected and taken back to the woods, where it is revealed the noise came from a badger caught in a snare. The badger is rescued and Percy is hailed a hero but Bill and Ben still can not help and tease Percy for thinking the badger was a ghost.
