Chapter
seven: The Fields
Joshu woke the girls up early the next morning to take them through the
countryside. Kohana was fully awake but Basil was still asleep. The
princess
wanted to wake her up but Joshu said let her sleep. The princess wanted
to wake her up but Joshu said let her sleep. The three of them were
going
strawberry picking.
Once the car stopped at the strawberry fields, Kohana turned to Basil.
“WAKE UP!” she yelled. Her friend awoke screaming. “WHY DID YOU DO THAT
FOR?!?” she yelled at last. “We’re here.” Kohana answered. Basil
looked.
“Oh.” she said at last. Then she, Joshu, and Kohana got out of the car.
The strawberry fields were as wide as the ocean. Red ripe strawberries
were all over the place. The girls’ eyes were all lit up. They started
running to the fields. “Wait!” Joshu yelled. Basil and Kohana stopped
and
turned to him. “You’re forgetting your bags.” said he. Then he handed
them
their bags. Then the girls began running to the fields. “Basil.” said
Joshu.
She stopped and turned. Joshu came over to her. “Keep a close eye on
Kohana.”
he whispered. “Hai san.” she answered with a bow. Then she ran to catch
up with the princess.
By noon, Kohana and Basil had full bags of strawberries and decided to
rest. So they lay down in the tall grass. Kohana began eating her
strawberries.
“Kohana! Look!” said Basil. The princess looked up. “What?” asked she.
“I see a fish.” said her friend as she looked at the clouds. “Where? I
don’t see a thing.” said the princess as she looked around. “Right in
the
sky in the center. That cloud looks like a fish.” Basil explained. She
had to guide Kohana a bit. “Oh. I see it!” the princess said at last.
The
girls had fun naming the shapes of the clouds.
