[QUOTE="MichaelK, post: 4867541, member: 60635"] [B]Pranks Become Serious (continued).[/B] When they reached the river back, Sienna was not surprised to see her carefully picked mushrooms gone. She couldn't blame kids for being kids, so she just started again from scratch with the few mushrooms that remained. Arelon joined her as she pointed out the difference between the good edible mushrooms and the ones that would make you sick. They were interrupted by a small child, a little boy no older than 4, tugging on Sienna's sleeve. "Sorry 'bout your mushes Se-na. We told the little man they was yours but he just ated them all up." he said. "What little man?" Sienna asked. The little boy paused, having used up about the extent of his vocabulary already. His older brother, around 12, took over. "The little cricket man. He had a body just like a cricket, but his top half was like a man's. He was only a few inches tall and he was carrying a tiny little violin. He kept asking us lots of questions."
