Chapter 4

For weeks and months, Gabrielle and Xena gave away knitted blankets and clothing. Everywhere they went, they gave something away. Even warlords happily skipped away with specially made vests and sword scabbards, all knitted by Gabrielle. Eventually Gabrielle became known as Gabrielle the Sweet. When Xena felt like fighting, she had to go off by herself, because no one wanted to hurt Gabrielle.

A time came when no one in Greece needed any more of Gabrielle's knitting. Now, Xena said, "You have to stop knitting, Gabrielle. No one needs any more."

"But what will I do with the yarn, Xena? Gabrielle asked.

"Send it to my monk friends in Chin. They can use it to make their robes and stuff."

"Okay, Xena. I still have some stuff that I made. What do you want me to do with it?"

"Why don't you take it to a temple? Maybe a God would like it for an offering."

"No. I think that I will send this stuff to Chin and make some special stuff for the Gods. I'll send the yarn after I do that."

"Whatever...Just get rid of it," said Xena.
