| At first they saw nothing but the beauty of the mountain and the lake they were in. Then he appeared. He had snuck into the lake without being seen and he came up out of the water in the midst of his human friends. Everyone rushed to hug him and after a bit when everybody let go of their hug the kids were very sad to see that their friend had been injured in his eye. It looked badly damaged. Naturally the big hairy fellow was happy-go-lucky much like a dog that has been injured. His friends were not so quick to let it go however. Ohpra said, “We’ve got to get him some help. He could lose that eye.” Noah said with concern on his face, “I agree. But what can we do?” BG and Rev stayed quiet. Everyone wanted badly to help their friend but none knew what to do. Finally Ohpra spoke up with an idea. “We find a doctor that is willing to come out in the woods and we get him to come here. There is no ban on sleeping away from the camp, currently. I suggest we send two back to get the doc and bring back supplies. The other two can stay here. It might not be until tomorrow before the ones who go looking for a doctor, are able to find one and get back here.” Then she reached down and picked four blades of grass. She tore two of them into shorter pieces and held them out. “Short pieces go for the doc, long pieces stay here with Harry.” next page |  |
