When Inka got back to her family Ace was making a broth out of the
onions. He was just adding some leeks he had found earlier when Inka
dropped the full sack of food in front of him.
"Where did you get all this?" he asked.
"From that sandstone house up there. Two little creatures gave it to me. They say hi" she replied pulling a large wedge of cheese from the bag.
"What likkle creasures?" asked Widdia.
"A squirrel and a otter, about your age, the squirrel's name is Tilly and the otter's Weaket. Oh, and their was a mouse to. They said his name was Gother, I think? Yes, his name was Gother"
"Was there any vermin?" asked Ace.
"No, the little ones said that there are no vermin. And I didn't see any. I only saw the three of them"
Inka heard giggling and turned around just in time to see Widdia and Buddy pull out some candied nuts. "You two aren't allowed to eat those till after your soup"
"But we like da nuts" whined Buddy.
"And if you eat your soup then you will grow up to be big like me"
"Den me stay likkle"
"But if you stay little then you won't be able to stay safe form vermin"
Buddy picked up a near by stick and held it high "Me likkle but me strong, very strong. I kill da vermin wid my sard"
Inka chuckled as he waved his stick sword in the air fighting off imaginary vermin. "Take dat you foxes, and you runny rat"
"Well if you want sore tummies from eating all the sweets and no soup that fine with me. But sore tummies means some more of my icky yucky herby broth"
Buddy dropped his stick and went strait for his bowl. Widdia did the same. They knew that any food was better than Inka's icky yucky herby broth. And so did Inka.
