She turned her back on the screaming man

and raised up her spear.

facing the approaching mother cougar

without a lick of fear.

The Mountion lion stared at her

asking silently if he is lunch

the forest warrior pulled out some fish

and threw the cougar a bunch.

Then she turned back towards the man

and gave him a shy smile

He asked if she could help him up

and help him walk for a qhile.

Again she didn't respond

at least not with words.

Then threw him onto her back

like a great mother bird.

She climbed up the tree

while the man hung on tightly.

Jumping from tree to tree

while the man screamed lightly.

Finally she carried him up

into her house in the tree.

And handed him a hazelnut

soaked in a bee's honey.

He ate it with a joyous smile

wondering about her name, she didn't mention

And then he looked up at her

and bombarded her with questions:

"How did you come to live here?

Don't you have a family?

How are you so strong

when you don't seem all that manly?

Do the animals understand you?

Is that why they don't attack?"

But the forest warrior said nothing

all she did was look back.

He said, "Are you deaf?

Can you at least tell me your name?"

She replied, "little man talk too much.

But yes. My name is Jane."
