DETECTIVES RABSQL IN FOREST ACTION

The trail shows the events of two characters, a rabbit and a squirrel, loyally trying to open up to all that is happening around them because they do not like injustice. 

The owl's nest is ruined and he assigns them them the task of finding out who the culprit is. Through the fog, they go find the culprit, with a lot of effort and happiness. 

The wolf who is a villain likes to have everything and to sneak up in the middle of the dark when everyone is sleeping to take valuables and settle them somewhere far away so that no one sees them. 

But the truth cannot be escaped, so with a little luck everything is revealed. It is really joyful that the villain on the quay realizing his mistakes, apologizes for everything and gives back what he stole. And on the quay, everyone is happy for the rest of their lives.

In a forest next to a strong waterfall where squirrels were often curious, one stood out in particular. She always wore a colorful suit on, not fur like the others, and she wore it proudly. She solved all the problems that happened in that forest and was often a judge for the final outcomes of the villains. She was always ready to help everyone in need, especially because after years of research, she decided to open her own space and thus employ another animal next to her as a collaborator. Her name was Charlotte.

She believed that she was a special person who gave the world the most beautiful colors, but that her talent could not have survived if she had been best friends with a rabbit named Michael. The two of them were really great personalities and they often gave their best to help everyone even when they were not on duty. 
All sorts of people came to their detective office and invested money in them. They often did not want to charge for their services, and they were rewarded for their work. On the walls, one could really see an enormous number of plaques praising their efforts. One case they fondly remember, and it kind of read like this.

An owl nicknamed Shadow entered their office. She was so upset because her nest had been destroyed by a wolf in the surrounding forest where she lived. She cried that she was supposed to bring her children to a party, and now they didn't even have a home. She wanted justice as soon as possible, but also to finally put an end to that thief who often stole other shelters in that place, but also unfortunately killed chickens and ate eggs from other hen mothers.

What intrigued our detectives in particular was that they had never met such a person in the past, because they were sure that they had finally solved all the things around them. They may have declared that the end was certain, but they insisted that the problem would not arise again. And everyone was shocked when they find out about this news, because it is impossible to hide something in that place. By spreading information from each other, our villain began to be paranoid for sure, because he thought maybe now he had the advantage and they'd never catch him. And that gave him confidence because he is now popular. With his gray fur and big eyes, with a little bigger stomach and with a spoon and a knife in his hand he was ready to take everything under his wing.

Our brave squirrel and rabbit were preparing for this, both mentally and physically. They knew who they were dealing with. This wolf had caused problems before, but they didn't know how to react. Since they were little they'd wanted to save the environment, victory, justice and reconciliation. They wanted a place for their children, for the whole world. They put on their leather coats which Master Randy had sewed for them a few years ago before he retired.

They carried with them all the necessary things, as always; in his pocket he had a laser with which many animals were lured and successfully caught in trouble, a lamp to illuminate all the villains who were insolent to the environment. And a few tiny spy glasses, mirrors and more little things. And they set out on a journey when everyone was asleep, somewhere in the late hours, a journey of no return.

Knowing that they were in a difficult place, they wanted to hug for the last time. Because, after all, the wolf was ready to take both of them down. They were risking both their lives for the sake of the people. They parted reluctantly with tears in their eyes and set out on a new path, a path of history and glory. They prepared in a radical way, with a parade of songs of their own that they have created in their heads. Knowing that the world is now under their feet and that they are on a great challenge, they slowly looked for our villain. 

They wandered for several hours through the streets without a goal, looking for any clear sign or symbol that led them to their final destination. The wolf's place was very villainous, where he stole all possible things from other animals without any shame. He was of the opinion that everything that was unscathed was his to take and that he would go further, into some new battles without a goal. He heard, as well as others. And he came from the middle of Russia, to the cold parts of us here in America to rule that area and to plant in everyone's head who is now the boss in the woods. 

After a long time, our searchers for the villain came to an important trail, which was fresh. That encouraged them to keep looking for a goal, gave them hope that they were not left without a trace. And just when they thought that everything was fine and they finally had a reason to rejoice in something, the damn rain came and temporarily stopped them near the tree canopy, where they quickly got ready to rest due to extreme fatigue. A rest that may have been dangerous, but the squirrel and rabbit heroes trusted their instincts and decided it was best to take a temporary break.

With this news, they came back to the office the next day, where the owl was asleep from waiting for at least some results (she demanded that it be investigated immediately). Maybe that's was enough for the first night, which was turbulent and very much built on flimsy evidence, a little rain and the smell of a bakery that lured people nearby where they ate something after a lot of searching.
 
The drunken heroes thought that they had to work harder to solve the owl's mystery and that they would find the culprit, even though only one person was suspected, the wolf. He was the only one who ate other animals.

Police even started calling for dodo forest birds. Eighteen o'clock came the next day and everyone stayed in the houses under lockdown. The sky brightened, the evidence hid under the darkness of the general window, and the heroes had nothing left to do but continue on their way, even though they did not know where they were going. They asked the citizens of the animal town where they'd last seen the wolf and where. And no one had the answer to these questions, because the last time he came in a dream, so that no one could hear.

At the place where they stood for the last time, they said something in silence, whispering, until they heard some banging. Running through the bushes and through the forest full of burdock and moss, in the gloomy dark, they came to one house. They smashed that door, which had not been reinforced with steel, and found the wolf preparing to continue knocking down everything he wanted. And it was so strange to see him in the day! Justice was served. 

The wolf was brought to the center of the city so that all the animals could find out what kind of villain was in their area, but also to sing a couple of songs to him because no matter what, they loved him. Growing up, they knew he'd been left to fend for himself. The happiest of all outcomes would be that he admitted he'd made a mistake and apologized to everyone and swore to the public that he'd be a better man and that others supported him to the maximum.

And as if from a fairy tale, our villain wolf started to give back to everyone what he stole. This caused tears and great applause, because they knew that anyone who does bad things can change overnight only if he has the will. And he thought, and still thinks, that stealing was in vain. He was given the opportunity to share with all the living things everything he dreamed of, in harmony and unity.

And our heroes were finally able to retire and realize that life is beautiful. The animals taught that peace and harmony is the goal of everything. They had mutual happiness and satisfaction at the end of everything, because the world is wonderful when great love reigns in it. This has been talked about and talked about, but the most beautiful thing is that this story is still passed down for generations, as rivals can be good friends and colleagues in this forest paradise, which brings gentleness and peace of mind.
