Chapter Three: Picking out thorns
"Legolas that branch is too thin! It can't hold you!" Haldir yelled. "Why not Haldiw?" Legolas asked, edging towards an old, thin branch. "It is far to old and too thin to hold you!" Haldir called, still near the bottom of the tree, now climbing faster.
"Ada is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY old and too thin but he can hold me!" Legolas called, now sitting on the branch. The small branch began to crack, and suddenly fell off the tree. Haldir did not catch the prince as he fell.
"Haldiw! Help! I'm stuck in a thorn Bush!" Legolas yelled, and indeed he was stuck. "Coming Legolas!" Haldir yelled, then also fell off the tree accidentally.
"Haldiw I'm stuck!" Legolas yelled, only his feet visable, but no one was there to see him wriggling them about.
"Guess what? I am stuck too!"
"Legolas, I'm going to pull you out." Haldir told the prince. "Okay!" Legolas yelled. The elfling was quite scared, for he was quietly crying. Pricks where in his arms and it hurt his tender skin. Haldir caught hold of the prince's feet and pulled him out. "Free!" Legolas yelled, but the noticed he had thorns everywhere and were making him bleed. "Get them out Haldiw, get them out!!!" Legolas cried, now showing his tears to Haldir.
Haldir picked up the elfling and examined him. Legolas' legs had not touched the bush, but from his waist and up thorns had found there way into his delicate skin. Haldir brought the little prince into the palace, humming quietly to him in hope to calm Legolas.
Haldir unbuttoned Legolas' tunic and pulled it off Legolas. He put it on the chair and told Legolas to sit down on the chair. Legolas was so scared (for he knew he was bleeding) that he immediatly sat down. Haldir first pulled out the thorns in his own fingers then washed his bloody hands. Haldir came back to Legolas and began to pluck the thorns from the prince.
"Owy! Owy! OWY!" Legolas cried. Finally Haldir had gotten all the thorns from Legolas and Legolas pulled his tunic back on, and buttoned it all up. That was amazing for the prince; he did it in a new record. It took him ten whole minutes; it used to take him fifteen. Legolas felt proud.
"Legolas- that was good time, as you are usually quite slow with buttons, but you need to take a bath." Haldir told him. Legolas gasped. "NO! No bathy!" Legolas yelled, running away. Haldir sighed, and began to chaise after him.
