The next day, May was sound asleep in her bed when suddenly the rooster
crowed. She moaned, turning and burying her face in her pillow. She was
exhausted from the fun she had with Frodo the other day. Again Suddenly,
someone pounded at the door. May pulled her pillow over her head for she
knew who it was. It was her little sisters.
"May! Wake up!" They squealed, running up to her and brushing her hair with brushes. They always did this in the mornings to wake May up. "Okay girls!" May told them. "I'll be there in a minute." Her younger other sister Mary pulled her hair. "Come on May, it's wheat day!"
May yawned and patted them on their heads. "Yes dearies, I know. I'm waiting for the rest of the family to get up."
One of the other girls bounced up and down while her golden curls bounced with her. "They already left," She said. With that remark and update, May shrieked and threw herself out of bed. "They WHAT!?" May pushed the siblings out of her room and rushed to get ready. She brushed her hair so hard it hurt, and quickly jumped into a working dress and ran out of her room. "Okay goodbye have a nice day!" She yelled very fast and ran outside with a piece of bread in her mouth.
May ran through the town, racing with her dress swishing it back and forth. "I can't believe I overslept!" She knew a shortcut to get there, and it was by crossing into the fields. And she did exactly that, jumping over logs and pushing her way through the tall wheat and corn that grow there. She finally saw where they were and raced over. Looking to the side while running, she accidentally ran into Frodo. They collapsed onto the ground and May fell on top of him. "Oh! Goodness Frodo, I apologize!" May blushed madly. Frodo smiled and helped her up. "I see that you are late."
"Oh, yes," May flustered. "I know. I overslept!" She laughed nervously. They then began to get to work. She got a barrel and picked handfuls of wheat, and put in in the barrel. May hummed a song that she always would sing during chores.
La le loo
La le loo
Now it's time
To go to sleep
close your eyes
Begin to dream
La le loo
She knew it was a bedtime song, but still enjoyed singing it. Little did she know, Frodo was stopped in his tracks and watching her. "That was beautiful." He said. Startled, May whirled around to face him. "You think so? It's embarrassing..." Frodo shook his head with a sweet smile on his face. "I like it."
"Thank you.." So they continued to work for a couple hours, picking wheat until they filled the fat barrel up with it. Every once and a while, May would stop to look at Frodo, and when he turned to look at her she looked away smiling.
At lunch time, May's mother brought apples, bread, and some meat for them to eat. May sat herself down on the fresh green grass to munch on an apple. She had brought her book with her, so she decided to take a break and walk off into the woods. Singing the song again, she bit into the apple and continued walking.
May then found a tree to sit down by, and began to read her book. It was called: A world of Hobbits. Eating the apple and reading in peace, someone jumped in front of her, and it was Frodo! May giggled and put her book down. "Hullo Frodo. What are you doing?" Frodo sat down next to her. "Oh, just coming to see you. Hey, is that yours?" He asked innocently, nodding at her blue book. "Why yes..Why?"
Frodo grinned and then asked if he could see it. "No, I don't trust you," She laughed,"You might take it." Frodo then jumped at her, and took the book. "Come and catch me if you can!" May smirked and chased after him. They ran through the woods, Frodo laughing with the book under his arm teasing her flirtatiously.
May continued to run after him, all around through the woods. They ran across bridges, and stepped on stones from ponds. Finally May caught up with him at a big hill and yelled, "Give it back Frodo, or you will pay!" She playfully told him. Frodo tried to run faster, but May pounced on him, grabbing him by the arm causing them to fall onto the hill.
"Give-it-to-me!" May tried saying, but it was hard since they were rolling down a bumpy hill. They continued to roll down the hill passing flowers. But May would not give up! She wanted her book back! When they finally got to the bottom of the hill they were exhausted. They fell on the ground, and laid down. Their heads were next to eachother. May sat herself up panting, and snatched the book away. Frodo giggled, and sat up with her. "You win," He admitted and smiled. May playfully hit him, and he laughed again. "That should teach you never to mess with a girl!"
"May! Wake up!" They squealed, running up to her and brushing her hair with brushes. They always did this in the mornings to wake May up. "Okay girls!" May told them. "I'll be there in a minute." Her younger other sister Mary pulled her hair. "Come on May, it's wheat day!"
