Chapter 17

Nitis carried on working on the dam and Balun still worked on researching for a while. Then he decided to help Nitis on the dam and he told him more stories about where he came from and how, it got over crowded and most of the females were not allowed to have any more children and this was the main reason why the left the south shore. As they had completed 72% on the dam and had a few more tech points to buy medicine went back on to researching. The children continued to find the collectibles for the scientists.

Little Top who was now 7 years old was feeling a bit down and went to the place to be alone. He was missing his parents and he was longing to see his mom again, but he knew she was not coming back. Then a little girl joined him, and he noticed that she was really pretty, she had long dark brown hair and blue eyes and she wore a band round her hair. She was Orla's daughter and only just had her second birthday and now she had to fend for herself, and she too felt a bit lonely as her mom went on to having another baby. Top asked her name and she said, 'My name is Laurence,'
'That's a nice name.'
'My mom said it is French.'
Then Top said, 'How would you like to play tag,' and he tagged her and said, 'your It.'
Laurence run after him saying 'I'm going to get you. Then he called out to Noa and Wabu, saying run 'Laurence is It,' All the children all ran as fast as they could around the shore and Laurence only been small had to force legs to catch up and try to tag one of them,' Then Laurence thought of a ploy to catch one of them and as Wabu had not noticed Laurence creep up on him and before he knew it, Laurence tag him and she called out, 'Wabu your IT,' Then she laughed and giggled as he said, 'Oh no, right I'm going to get you,'
Laurence said, 'Oh, no you won't.' And ran away as fast as she could from him.
After awhile the kids got tired of playing tag and went on to playing their on little games and exploring the island. Laurence was curious about the strange flowers and was interested in the construction of the dam and liked watching the scientist work and she thought that when she grew up she might be a scientist. Laurence liked finding the items for the scientist. As Laurence was playing in the very narrow stream getting her feet wet and her dress. Failed to see the rare butterfly, as Wabu who was now 7 got to it first completing the butterfly collection. The scientist were very please with the children for finding all the butterflies and give them all a treat. Now Balun told the children that they can build more huts and be able to have 5 extra people to live in the village.

The scientists after so many moons had made enough tech points to buy the second level of medicine and now improved the villager's life span as they would be healthy for a longer time now. However, they still needed to explore more to a higher level in medicine if they wanted to live beyond their 60 years. At the moment, they were still young and Orla was now 26 years old and Nitis was now 23 Balun was now 17 and would soon be 18, old enough to be a parent and to tell children stories. As Orla was still a Trainee Parent and not got the statues to teach the children, would have to be more involved in parenting. Orla was not far off from becoming Adept, but at the moment Orla was now nursing a baby, and could do nothing else until the baby was age two. This raised the population to 9.

Nitis after an evening with Orla, went back to try and complete the dam, he had been working on it every day for several moons and so far it was 75% completed and as there was food available to villagers was 1919, that the villagers thought it best to leave the coconuts and to carry on researching and the children kept finding the mushrooms that kept the food over and above that. There were still 1220 coconuts still to harvest. Laurence did not like coconuts, so all she ate was the mushrooms they found and some fish that the villagers, shared out evenly a small portion a day. Orla was worried about Laurence not liking coconuts as there was not much else to eat, but she knew the dam would soon be finished so that her daughter would get some greens.

Orla kept on asking how far off you are on the dam. He kept saying, it won't be ready for a while yet, but if I have more labor, the dam will be finished a lot sooner. Tobi promised that he will help as they had got more medicines, the following day. Tobi knew about Laurence's eating habits and tried to disguise some of the coconut peaces in with some of the mushrooms, but she would know and say, 'I'm not eating that, it's got coconut in it Yuk.'
'You can't be fooled Laurence, I can see that, but please for my sake and your mommy's sake, try and eat some of it.' Tobi said But Laurence was persistent and refused to eat the coconuts and she and she would run away every time someone tried to give her coconuts to eat. In the end the adults had to gave up, and hopefully that when the dam is finished and be able to give Laurence more variety of diet.
