The time was five in the morning the sun was slowly rising above the Forest and Erick's alarm's started singing waking the three explorer's up
"Right boy, get up!" Erick exclaimed as loud as a loudy could "Time to get ready we head out in 0530, we've absolutely no time to waste!" he shouted up the stair's waking up the two boys from their relaxing and energizing slumber
"Yes! Jack! wake up!" Arnald shouted in an uncontrollable excitement
"Is it time yet Arnold?" Jack asked as he yawned
"Yes Jack! we have to get ready we leave soon!" Arnald said as he jumped up and down around Jack's bedroom grabbing all of his explorer gear before getting changed while Jack started to sit up before getting a surprising boost of energy
Arnald and Jack finally got ready and all that they had left to put on were their hicking boot's
"Boy's we've got five minutes before it's time that we need to head out!" Erick yelled rushing the two boy's to finish getting ready completely
Arnald stomped his left foot into his black and blue hickers boot and then he raced to do up the neon Lace's tieing them up tightly
"Jack, hurry up we have to leave soon, come on" Arnald said Jack in an over excited manner as he slammed his bag on and sprang down the stair's as fast as his leg's could go Jack rushing on his boot's to follow Arnald
"Okay boy's are you ready to head off into the Forest?" Erick asked the pair of boy's
"Yes!" The pair of boy's shouted at Erick as they bounced up and down while they quickly put on their jackets
Erick opened up the front door and the three explorer's exited the house and stepped into the Forest Arnald placing his right foot on a patch of damp twig's and leaf's covered in a thick muck that stuck to the very sole of his boot's
Arnald stood starring at the ground noticing the finest details of the mud as he examined how his foot print's showed up in the soggy dirt
"Erick?" Arnald said in a curious manner "Why doe's my foot print stay in the mud even after I move my boot?" he asked as he thought of a way to look for Daddy fogar
"Hmm good question Arnald, ypu see the wet mud compresses underneath your boot while the mud around it remains in compressed, leaving the shape of your boot as the mud stand's around it, here watch" Erick said as he placed his foot in front of Arnold's standing there for a few second before lifting it up
"See here?" he said placing a stick at the putter mud "this creates a circumference of my boot while the mud here" He said as he moved the stick placing it on the print inside of the area "moves around under my foot to create the shape and the sole of my boots" he said to Arnald who took the information in
"Okay Mr.Loudy, Thank you" Arnald said politely before heading into the Forest "would Daddy fogar have left some foot print's in the mud like me?" Arnald asked Erick
"more than likely Arnald why?" Erick responded
"because maybe we could use his foot print's to help us track him down" Arnald said before walking ahead and into the forest leaving Erick and Jack surprised
