Chapter 14
Molo finished the hut soon after Chimba found the book. Everyone went to celebrate the new hut. Nobody had to sleep in the research room anymore. It was easily a time for celebration. Needless to say, everyone moved in.
After the moving was finished, Chimba addressed Pilipili with her find. He read the journal, then gave it to Umi, who kept it as the last artifact of his wife. Then, everyone got back to work.
Originally, Molo was to work in the sciences while Umi took his ability test for building. But, Molo just didn't get the science, and he eventually went back to farming. Chimba took his place as a scientist.
For Umi's ability test, he was to clear the leaves from the strange stone that he realized as the Roster of the Dead. He was quite efficient, and easily started the task.
The next day, Bico turned fourteen. The villagers had a celebration, as this was the most important day in a person's life. He was finally able to work, attend more meetings, and read the adult theories of the tribe. When asked on what he wished to study, he said Medicine. Nobody found this as a shock, as he treated Pilipili's leg quite well. All seemed well in the tribe, even though they were running out of food... And fast.
