So, Tom goes home.
He scuttled home climbing fences, jumping
ditches, and slithering through bushes. Reaching his backyard, Tom flopped down
by the tree where a fresh mound of dirt covered his friend.
“Hey Christopher, I got you some watermelon,”
Tom ripped off a bit of the watermelon, dribbled the juice over the dirt, and
pushed the fruit deep into the pile.
The leaves played a shadow song on the
blades of grass. Light and dark tinkled through the air—a visual wind chime.
Tom looked up and saw a tiny human-like thing fluttering in time with the
music.
“Hi, I’m Lucinda,” she sang. “Let’s go on
an adventure.”
