Mom, I want to rest a little said the little girl stopping at a place.
But we have no time to step and rest replied the mother.
Mom please... My legs are starting to get tired.
But I told you that we will only stop three times in a day and that time has not come yet.
We have been walking for a little while now, please let me rest the little girl said.
Okay! just a little, replied the mom in a serious manner.
They both sat under the shade of a tree.
Mom, is something wrong?
No replied the mother looking at the child.
But I can sense that you are not alright said the little girl.
Everything is alright assured the mother biting her lower lip.
Then, why are we walking deeper into the forest looking for cherries for two days now. we haven't taken our bath and have not eaten any cooked food?
The woman could not say a word but kept on biting her lower lips.
Now the little girl knows that there is surely something wrong because anytime mom bites her lips it means that she is nervous or situation has gotten out of hands.
Why couldn't she just tell her what the problems was all about or like mom use to say, is she the little girl not old enough to know what's happening?
But I'm sure, I could comprehend things. I surely have a sense of reasoning taught the little girl.
