Then I realised. He was going to kill us.
I was ready to run away.
Sam was also thinking the same thing.
Quickly we made an escape.
The trader and a few more people were chasing us now.
“Why are they so angry?” I thought to myself as Sam and I scurried up a tree.
It made thoughts race around my head.
It also made my interest in humans slightly fade.
I always had a good sense of curiosity for humans but now all I know is they are mean and cruel.
I had once thought maybe one day I will talk to one but that dream was smashed after the
great chase I was in just now.
Sam was also looking sad but not for the same reason. He had accidently dumped all the
berries he found yesterday on the floor while he was being chased.
The only thing to do was to get down from the tree and find shelter because it was starting to
get dark.
The morning sunlight woke us up.
We were huddled under a big coconut that was cut in half.
“We had better get going,” said Sam as he carefully peered out of the coconut shell just in case
there was someone outside.
“Sam, I’m so hungry!” I moaned.
“I am also but we lost our food when we ACCIDENTLY dropped it,” said Sam n a nervous way.
“No, YOU dropped it. Now because of you we are going to starve to death!” I shouted back.
That was when Sam went berserk and he threw himself at me and pushed me down onto the floor.
“Stop arguing! We’ll find some food. No problem,” said Sam after he picked himself up from
the ground.
But there was a bigger problem at hand.
A few feet ahead of us was a little girl from a local Gobi village staring at us. She looked to be
about 3 years old, but she looked gigantic compared to us.
The little girl had her eyes on me. She was slowly walking toward me.
I found myself getting picked up by the girl.
“Oh no! Not one of these humans again! This time this one is trying to eat me!” I shouted as I
tried to wriggle free from the little girls not-so-big hands.
At last I jumped out from the girls hand. I quickly hopped over to where Sam was.
I expected the little girl to take out a sharp object and start chasing me but the girl just stood
there and took out some berries from her pockets.
They were the same ones Sam had dropped yesterday.
Sam noticed this, but he grew ferocious.
“Give me back my berries you little thief!” screamed Sam.
The girl walked over to Sam and dropped the berries in front of him and stared at him as if
she wanted him to eat the berries.
I was so surprised. What was going on?
Yesterday I thought that humans were mean and cruel, but today, I see them trying to help us.
