Faithful Pebble
Part Two
Pebble was not her original name. At least, this is not how the story went, the rumor that filtered from mouth to mouth, from ear to ear of the villagers of Warble Heights. The rumor was that it was something sweet perhaps, long, or tighty, or obnoxious. They were never sure. You see, that had long since been forgotten, like the names of her parents, or the street she lived on, or the house she grew up in, or even if she lived in that very village at all. None of that had ever been discovered. All they knew was that she had fallen, a young maiden no more than 5 (that is what the mayor thought) or 10 to those more sympathetic, more intelligent than the average Joe on the street (which was everyone).
