Anesh:” Kuo is still snoring after all the things that had happen I think my ears are going to explode it’s a bit loud for a guy like him to scream like that…”

She piggybacks Kou down to the secret passage where other villagers lived too…due to the war the People decided to dig underground and make their houses there.The cat followed her...

Anesh: “Im tired ….Im sleeping for a while…. Huh? You’re still here?? I bet you don’t have a home to stay; well then, I’ll take care of you”.

Anesh:” I’m sorry Mrs. Wells”

Granny Shannon:” Don’t be mad Mrs. Wells I’m sure Anesh learns her lesson today…”

Mrs. Wells looked at Anesh with anger in her eyes and slam the door

GrannyShannon: Don’t worry I’m sure Mrs. Wells is only in bad mood today….Is that Kou at your back??

Anesh: “Thanks Granny your words make me feel better…Kou is too asleep so I didn’t wake him up.. Ummm this little kitty beside me is my new friend.”

GrannyShannon: “Oh I see you found a new friend my dear”

Anesh: “Thanks a lot Granny will you listen to my story tomorrow???”

Anesh:” Huh??? (looks at the window the Kerze) is not lighted yet and the Cadence are not ringing its still early…. what is it Kou? While rubbing her eyes what’s that scratch in your face?? You look like … buff-- (Anesh is about to burst in laughter )

Kerze a big candle light used by people to serve as a light source underground Cadence is bell that rings forming a rhythmic flow sound serves as a calling for people to came out of their houses and work.

Kou: Big sister Anesh look at this thing… I’ve never seen like this before Amazing isn’t it …. I gave it one bean but it didn’t ate it ….I touch its ears and touch its hand and I felt something sharp so I take a look in its hands and I’m thinking if it had weapon in its hand so I began to search it and that’s what happened while you are sleeping ..

Anesh: Bufff hahahahaha ha-ha youre so cute Kou you don’t even know that thing….You were thinking that little cat has a weapon hahaha—ha

Kou: Big Sister !!! What is this thing called? Big sister! Quit laughing at me….

Anesh: hahahah

Anesh: ha-ha --……… Sorry Kou...Ahemmm: that thing was called a cat
"You can’t give him a bean because it eats meat like fish meat and chicken or pork meat but cats really like fish"

Kou didn’t know about animals due to war, animals become extinct and rarely seen plus the fact that they lived underground .

Kou: Then what is fish looks alike????

Anesh: Lets see Its like this.. (Scribbles) done!

Kou: Ah!!.. the fish looks like that… Big sister how do I get that fish?

Anesh: Fish lives in the water you can find them in rivers and sea. You can get them by making a rod and bait ( Scribbles) Here’s the rod and the bait is in here in the bottom of the rod then you have to swing the rod in the water and wait for the bait bitten by the fishes get it??

Kou: Hmmm

Thunk! thunk !thunk!

Anesh: “Oh the Cadence is ringing its time for work! (Changing clothes) Bye Kou I’ll be back later”

Running in the narrowed streets lots of clothes hanging on the houses she always stares the adara (The large tree) has houses of the village leader and she notice that there was something in the balcony pointing at her direction.

Anesh: Huh??? What’s that thing in Adara .It’s pointing at me???

She bumped on a guy with black coat

Anesh: Sorry Mr.??

Blackcoat Man : ….

Anesh : “I’m really sorry “
He didn’t answer maybe he’s mad (in her mind)

Anesh bows and slowly walks away

Blackcoat Man: “faites gaffe , T'es laide.”

Anesh looks back

Anesh: “What is he saying??? I never heard of that language before
Is he a foreigner the way he speaks its so nice I like it.. Although I didn’t understand that. Huh wait.. maybe he was saying rude things since I bump on him but he doesn't seem to be at ype of guy who would say rude things ” (talking in her mind)

Anesh: Umm Excuse me what are you sa--ying Mr.?

The Man vanish

GrannyShannon: …Oh Anesh!! aren’t you going to the fields??

Anesh : Oh granny !! I saw a man he’s was quite mysterious he said something I don’t understand Oh!! I remember he said something like Laide?? But he was wonderful I think he didn’t say something bad those words are like sayings of an angel!”

GrannyShannon: Uhhh Anesh that means …

Anesh : “Oh I got it I don’t know his name he’s so mysterious so I’ll call him
Mr. Geheimnisvoke” Oh its time see you later Granny!!!

Granny Shannon: “Anesh is sure an energetic girl but that guy said rude thing and called her ugly” Maybe she don’t want to know that I guess its better if I not say it to her”

In the mean time Kou was busy finding the materials for her fishing tool..
Granny Shannon sees him wandering around

Granny Shannon: Kou what are you doing wandering around??

Kou: “Granny! I was looking for a long stick and strings”

Granny Shannon "I do have.. if you want you can have them”

Granny Shannon: “What are you going to do with these?”

Kou: “Thanks Granny I’ll go outside and look for worms Bushi come with me”

Granny Shannon: “Oh you give that cat a name already”

Kou” It would be easier for it to call him by name so I gave him a name and a name is also important because he’s a part of our family big sister Anesh and me...Oh I have to find worms.. later Granny!”

Granny Shannon: “He’s quite a smart boy for a 5 year old boy as if I was talking to a real grown up man...I’m sure his intelligence will be soon discovered “

While Anesh in the central village busy at harvesting peruna. Peruna is a potato that doesn’t require sunlight to grow just water, soil and fertilizer is enough; and so Kou sneak out to the Landsby Soutterains (Village underground) to catch a fish for Bushi.
