Chapter four:yes Ellie there is a lot to be thankful for.

The next morning. Thanksgiving day

Vinny awoke to sounds and smells of breakfast being made.

Alvin and Brittany walked over to Vinny as Alvin placed the tray of food on the table. Brittany shook Vinny awake.

"what – whats this?"

"Its breakfast mom Theodore said at the griddle at the fire place." "its pancakes, maple syrup, Maple tea with honey in it, aple slices. She smiled at the thought fullness of the breakfast and knowing that they did not have much in the way of food, as some of the food went bad from the lack of electricity

Several hours later after breakfast. Vinny the boys and girls went out for a walk picking berries. Theo and elie niticed some strange looking berries. Theodore went to pick the barries but Elanor stopped him. She shook her head and pointed to his mother. So Theo showed his mother the berries. She told him that they were poisionous. She thankfully gave Eleanor a loving smile. Eleanor of crouse was quite happy in the fact that she followed her feelings. Vinny decided right then and there she needed to teach the girls her wisdom. The wisdom of healing techniques, what to and not to eat, and the remedies that will cure them if they ate the wrong things. Vinny had much to pass on to the girls. She knew that the boys might forget well Alvin would. She also knew that Brittany would forget so she divised a plan one that would make the boys and girls come closer and would make Alvin and Brittany apericate certain things in life. She of course would devise a secondary plan in the event things did not go well.

When Vinny and the gang got back to the cabin. She started to teach the boy and girls everything she knew. Theo and Ellie, Simon and Jeanette were paying close attention as she expected. Also as she expected Alvin and Brittany were not. Vinny laid out the several bowels of berries good and the bad one . As she decussed what to do and not to do, she grabbed of what looked like the wrong berries set of berries, and had eaten some .

"MOM NO WAIT" Simon yelled in a panic. However before any one could stop her she fished just the right amount to make her sick but not kill her. Alvin and Brittany ran over in a panic.

"Whats going on!" Alvin screamed.

"mom ate the wrong kind of berries!" Theo said in panicky yet scarred tone.

Eleanor grabbed Vinny and walked her over to the couch while Alvin, Brittany,Theodore and Simon were over by the table starting to freak out. Jeanette stayed behind to try and keep them calm .

Eleanor helped Vinny while she laid down. Eleanor looked at Vinny with a little bit of anger.

"You know don't you" Vinny said.

"yes" Ellie said angry.

"I want to know why!"

So Vinny leaned over to Ellie and whispered in her ear about what she was doing and why.

"GUYS!" Ellie yelled.

Everyone ran over to where Ellie and Vinny were sitting.

"She don't look so good, we need to find the antidote. Alvin and Brittany I need you to find the the correct amount of plants and the correct kind of plants or you mother could die" Eleanor said.

Theodore started to freak out. Eleanor pulled him in to a hug.

"It will be okay Theodore I trust that my sister and your brother can handle this"

"right" she looked over to them smiling.

"right come on Britt"

Simon held out a sheet of paper for Alvin and Brittany. They grabbed it as they left. Several hours had pasted. Simon had gone over what had happened. The way he figured it taking in the account for Vinny weight and the amount of berries and the kind of berries that she ate, he figured that the most that would happen was she would get very sick. So Simon walked over to her.

"Eleanor can you excuse me I would like to talk to my mother"

"of course Simon" she replied.

Simon sat down and started to talk to her son. After a few minutes Simon figured the truth and Vinny confirmed with much reluctance.

While Simon and the gang sat around they had a knock at the door. Theodore jumped up "Alvin!" but when Simon and Theodore got to the door they were quite surprised. "Dave!" they both said.

"Hello boys I finally made it here and I brought some food." "knowing Alvin something went wrong so I brought more food"

when Dave came in to the cabin fully he realized that Alvin and Brittany were not there and Vinny was on the couch.

"boys whats going on?"

So Simon and Eleanor filled Dave in. So Dave went and checked in on Vinny.

"Vinny why?"

"They needed to learn" she said in a low quiet voice.

Dave had finally had realized the entire situation.

Dave looked over to Simon and Theodore and had asked them to set the table for dinner . Then he asked the girls to start preparing everything for dinner. While the boys and girls started getting ready for everything he took care of Vinny he got her anything she needed.

Jeanette talks about that people out there don't have a home or food.

Theodore informs that before they left he gave all of the food that the had to the local food shelter

Alvin has an idea that when they got back they should have an concert and to get in all people have do do is drop off some food at the door or show a ticket from a local food shlter showing what they drooped off with the date and time and hwo much .

I say the frist 200 people to drop off a hundred dollars worthe of food get to sit in th efront wors seats . Says brittany

during the concet they sing : the chipeets sing my mother , the boys isng lining on a payr, thankyou , friends and family ,

Getting home.
