The Run-away Fire

Jason, Penelope and Audrey are on holiday with their parents. On their final day leaving is the last thing Jason wants to do. On an attempt to stay on holiday for the rest of his life he wanders off into the forest to hide. Uncertainly Audrey and Penelope follow and soon enough the three siblings are in whole lot of trouble.
