Chapter 6: Ro's Story
When they arrived at the small, stone cottage of Hobart the fox-rodent and his wife, Carlotta, along with their glibbert, a small weasel like animal, Gilbert. Hobart claimed that he and his wife would look after the girl, until they find a home, for her.
At First she was unsure about the couple, until she smelled the cookies.
"So, uh, what is your name, little one?" Hobart asked, his curiously as always around.
"My name is Ro," the girl said. "I had a mother and uncle, which I had seen them since the storm."
She began entertaining the fox-rodent couple and the young rangers into telling the events of how she got to Mossflower.
"I was in the sea struggling until a dolphin with legs saved me and brought me to shore. I was then wakening by a strange eagle with ears. I tried to run but it grabbed me and put me in its nest with an egg. The egg then hatched and an eaglet with ears like his mother, looked at me. There I spent six whole days in the nest of the eagle, with my new brother, of course, until you discovered me. I'm glad that you save me, but I miss my Eagle family already."
"My, My," Carlotta said. "I think it'll be best if you had some food and rest after all that excitement today."
And so Hobart and his wife took Ro inside their cottage.
While the young rangers walked home to their families along with their yukes, they talked about the story.
"I just don't get it." Freddie asked. "If the cat-eared eagle picked up Ro from the beach, then who did that mouse boy on the plains see someone go by?"
"Beats me." Said Brandon. "We'll have to look tomorrow after we get some rest."
"Yeah," Said Freddie. "It's really to bad about Will's yuke. I mean, double riding isn't as comfortable as I like it to be, after all."
