Chapter 18

Orla's baby was now just 2 and she named her Kissa and Laurence was now age 5.

Nitis was almost done with completing the dam. Laurence was watching her dad building it while little Noa was still playing in the very narrow stream, that did not seem to be narrow any more as she found the water getting deeper and deeper.

In the meantime Nitis failed to notice that Noa was stuck and put the last peace of wood in to secure and he told Laurence to tell mom that the dam was finished and would be able to grow crops with the water flowing onto the soil. After Laurence told her mom the dam was complete and she called all the others and every one came running. The children were Singing, The dam is complete, hooray, hooray, and the adults all joined in. The dam is complete HOORAY, HOORAY, YEA, YEA, and THE DAM IS FINISHED, HOORAY, HOORAY, HOOT, and HOOT, BRAVO called out Laurence, THE DAM IS COMPLETE. Suddenly Laurence noticed that Noa was missing and wondered where she was and thought she wouldn't miss this?

Nitis said right now the celebrations are over it's time to be getting back to work now and you Top get some seed to plant and Mucha who was adept farmer planted the seeds and as soon as she planted the seeds the birds would land on the soil and start eating them, she triad chasing them off and even the children kept trying to chase them off, but the birds kept coming back. Mucha thought that, we need something to scare the birds away, any idea's children and Kissa and Laurence, said a scarecrow. Yes that is an idea a scarecrow and Mucha went to at the top of the land near the thorny bushes where there was some twisted wood growing and she made some arms and got a large turnip for the head and put some black peddles for the eyes and month. She found some old rags to put round the sticks that stuck outwards. And after it was finished, the children thought that it looked like a really scary scarecrow. That would keep away those pesky birds. The children once again, started celebrating saying, HOORAY, HOORAY WE SCARE AWAY THOSE PESKY BIRDS, HOOT, HOOT. The adults came running over wondering what all the excitement was about and saw the ugly looking and scary scarecrow, and they to cheered. As they were celebrating they failed to notice that Noa was not with them. Nitis started to repair the hut on the beach.

Noa found the only way she could not get out of the flowing water and she tried calling for help and wondered why no one had seen her. Then she noticed Laurence and she called out but the wind kept blowing her voice in another direction. Then she saw Kissa running to look at the ancient place and she called out, Kissa and the wind just by luck was blowing in the right place.

In the meantime Kissa wanted to explore the ancient place and as she was running she thought she heard someone calling her name and she looked round her, but saw no one there and she carried on exploring the ancient place and then she head her name been called again and it sounded like Noa's voice and she called out, 'Is that you Noa I can't see you?' She heard Noa's voice again, shouting help me, Help,' Kissa realised that Noa was in trouble and she called out, 'WHERE ARE YOU?'
She heard, 'I'm over here on this strip of land,' Kissa looked over and saw Noa just hanging on, 'EER, HOW DID YOU GET THERE ?' DON'T MOVE I GET THE GROWNUPS, and she ran to get Nitis telling him that Noa was tripped and he came running, and he got the other males to rescue Noa, The males told Noa to hold on and that they were coming to rescue her and the way they did this was, the strongest one waded through the creek and put her on his shoulders. When they reached dry land, they heard a great cheer go up and he noticed that all the villagers had gathered together to see the heroic rescue of little Noa After Noa's ordeal a few days later she was back to her normal self.

Mucha decided it is time to have a baby

Mucha was 19 years old and decided it was time to have a baby and the guiding hand did some match making with Tobi and she had her first baby after going in the hut. Nitis was now a master builder and since they needed 3 master builders to open the very large box on the beach, so decided that Tobi would finish repairing the hut on the beach and Nitis would attempt to at researching. After several tries managed to succeed at some of the experiments. After awhile when he had been succeeding at a few simple experiments he soon had the statues as a trainee scientist. They needed to make more tech points to buy medicine, if they wanted to live beyond their 60ties. So they needed to have 65000pts and so far had made over 20000pts. So had a long way to go. Orla was now 29. And was with her 3rd baby.

The fastest runner event

Tobi as he was working on the hut on the beach found he sometimes exercise by running round the village and one day he thought he could run very fast and he wanted to organized a race to prove he was the fastest runner, the villagers knew he could run fast when he wanted to, but his fragile ego was better known and so they agreed he could run very fast. Letting him have his pride, and after this Tobi now liked running a lot more, and became the villagers runner. As Tobi was running every where and running round repairing the hut on the beach, the hut was completed in less time. It was completed just as Mucha's and Orla’s babies were 2 years old males names were Pepe Orla's son and Obi Mucha's son were able to celebrate the new honeymoon hut, the villagers decorated it with flowers and as it looked so lovely on the beach. Orla was the first to use it and give birth to another baby and a week later Mucha her second baby, The only thing Nitis was the father of Mucha's new baby. This brought the population to 13.

Tobi the runner thought it was time to build a new hut as the villagers found that only one hut was not enough room for the new arrivals of new babies and it was getting very crowded now. The builders made the foundations where it was going to be which was near the beach a few feet from the side of the first hut that was a few feet from the research hut. Soon Tobi working very fast on it was now 28% completed this took a couple of moons to get this far. Noa and Wabu were 12 Isola years old and Laurence was 7 and her sister Kissa was now 5 and the 2 little boys were now still 2 nearly 3. Orla was 32, Nitis 29, Balun 23 Mucha 22, Tobi 21 and Top 17. The scientist had made 31967pts and the food available to villagers was 2092 and still plenty of coconuts and crops to harvest.

Another thing the children had now completed the shell collection and now the population can be raised by 5 and once again the children were given a treat which made them more determined to complete the pebble collection and Obi found a rare pebble and Pepe found an uncommon one which the children needed to find just one more rare collectible to complete the collection. The children had not found any of the bugs yet, but may be when the thorns are cut, they might find some.
