An unexpected hunting expedition left the tribeās children without instruction from their elders that day. Forest was delighted to get out of their learning for the day. He loathed being inside, stuck to a seat where he was expected to sit still and listen to some boring adult drone on and on about what berries could kill you and which ones were medicinal.Ā
Afterall, when was he ever going to need that information?Ā
With. his parents permission he invited three of his closest friends to join him fishing at the lake adjacent to is home camp.Ā
The fish that day were plentiful and Forest and his friends were excited to bring home their scaly supper to their parents.Ā
āI think I got one!ā Onal called, yanking his fishing stick back as his line was tugged.Ā
āHold fast to it!ā Ibha said, her own rod held steadily in her hands.Ā
āAh it got away,ā Onal said glumly.Ā
āAt least you didnāt fish up a rock,ā Ghark called.Ā
The children roared with laughter.Ā
