I have a warning for you all.
Today's story is quite scary.
It has killing and someone who is crazy.
So if you don't like scary stories, you should not listen to this one.
And if you don't like killing or you are too young, you also shouldn't listen to this episode.
It's definitely a break from our episodes in the great forest.
There are no happy animals in this story.
