I continued to think about the boy, then it occurred to me that there was a specific carving at the back of the carriage, it resembled that of the Kin-alvan royal family crest. The crest was made entirely of gold with carvings of two quart-moons on opposite sides of the crest, one quart-moon was half the size of the other, between the two quart-moons was a black circle. That proved evidence enough that he was from the royal family, but what was he doing here in Mra-chal Kingdom, the enemy nation.

It soon occurred to me that I should not have to be thinking about this, it was of no concern to me that the enemy kingdom were here.

' Maybe the boy had come for a peace treaty' I thought.

Though the Kin-alvan royal family were said to possess powers of removing colour of living and nonliving things, and practiced sorcery.

After some time of walking in the forest, I found some bushes full of blueberries, the blueberries were much, so I picked them until quarter of the basket was filled. I put a white piece of cloth over the basket and tucked in all the sides to prevent flies from perching on it.

I soon got to the rose bush I knew and picked twelve stemmed-roses, all about the same length each, I had an eye for good measurement. I put the piece of cloth over the basket and tucked it in, now all that was left were my strawberries- my favorite- from the forest before the sun would rise fully.

I reached the path in the forest, which I normally took to pick the strawberries. As I walked along the path, I saw mushrooms that grew by the corner of the path. I rushed towards the mushrooms and examined them, whether they were edible , and yes, they were edible. I picked up to ten because I still needed space for my strawberries.

I started walking towards the area where I knew the strawberries grew in vast quantities, it was a very long way to the strawberry patch. If a person didn't know the way there, the person would get lost easily, but luckily I did this almost everyday thanks to my strong desire to eat strawberries.

By the time I had gotten to the patch, I saw some strawberries that I had not picked some days ago, and some small strawberries that were still small in size. I picked the large ones and left the small ones. I picked until the basket was overflowing with strawberries. It was not the number of strawberries, but the size of each of them that filled the basket.
