Back to the story!
Wilder found his way across the raging river with the help of his gnome and fish friends - now he has to make it to the top of the waterfall much too steep to climb in order to beat Sun! What does he do next?

⁠
An ooey, gooey, chocolatey smell wafted around Wilder. ⁠
He followed his nose straight to a campfire where silly squirrels were making s’mores.⁠
⁠
“Wilder!” exclaimed the smallest squirrel. “So good to see you, come join us!” ⁠
⁠
“Well, I did skip breakfast this morning,” thought Wilder, ⁠
“I’ll stop for just one quick little s’more.”⁠
⁠
One scrumptious s’more turned into two and then three,⁠
and before he knew it, Wilder was telling campfire stories and laughing with the squirrels. He had forgotten all about the time!⁠
⁠
“Didn’t you say something about a race, Wilder?” his squirrel friend asked.⁠
“Oh no!” Wilder looked up at the sky. The Sun was far, far ahead!⁠
⁠
What will Wilder do to make up for the time he had lost?⁠
----⁠
⁠
Your idea could inspire Tuesday’s chapter, so let us know by 11:59 p.m. tonight!⁠
⁠
¿Qué debería hacer Wilder ahora? ¡Su idea podría inspirar el próximo capítulo, déjenos saber antes de las 11:59 p.m. de esta noche!⁠
