Popuri and Mukumuku
One night, after work, Popuri decided to go for a walk down to the Goddess Pond. She sat down in front of the Harvest- Sprite's Tree and gazed in amazement at the moon's reflection on the water. Little did she know, Mukumuku was watching her…
"Gosh," said
Popuri, "Its, beautiful!"
She gazed at the pond, well into the
night, until finally, she fell asleep.
The night had soon turned
cold and it started to snow.
"OH NO!" gasped Mukumuku, "She
will surely freeze to death out here"
So Mukumuku took Popuri in
his arms and carried her into his warm, cozy hideout where Popuri
and Mukumuku slept the rest of the night.
Mukumuku woke up first thing in the morning, way before Popuri. He walked through Mineral Town to see if anyone had noticed that Popuri had gone missing. Sure enough, there was a search party being put together to look for her. Mukumuku ran back to his hideout as fast as he could, he picked her up and took her back to the tree, where he had found her the night before. He gave her a gentle hug and ran back to his hideout just in time.
The search party
found Popuri asleep on the tree.
"It's a miracle she didn't
freeze to death!" said Dr. Hardy.
"Oh, thank Goddess she's
ok !" exclaimed all of Popuri's friends.
She woke up
because of all the fuss people were making.
"Good morning all !"
she said cheerfully, "What are you all doing here ?" she
asked.
"Your good friend Karen said she hadn't heard from you
tonight-" said the Mayor.
"-Because you call me every-night
after work!" finished Karen.
"Oh I'm fine, I was watching
the moon's reflection on the pond, and then I fell asleep." said
Popuri.
"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself!"
she exclaimed, a little disappointed that no-one thought that she
could take care of herself.
They helped her to her feet, said
their good-bye's and left. Everything was back to normal.
