Chapter 23
Chimba asked the Guiding Hand for a fourth child. Now, he didn't want anybody getting too tired, so he denied it. If anyone, Waiata was allowed to have a second child. But, she wanted to learn more about children before she got a second one. So she didn't get a second child for a while.
Waiata finally put her firstborn down. Her name was Napa, and she had the same brown curls as her mother. She seemed to have a lot of her mother's qualities, as she was good at research as well. Her father, Umi, couldn't be prouder to see his own child for the first time. He said that she reminded him of Pari. So he got Napa the dress he wanted to give his first daughter. It was a red dress with a blue ribbon tied around the waist, and blue swirls all over it. Umi said that he and Pari had spent a lot of time and effort to make it. He had to get every material, and she had to sew it all together. It was a perfect fit.
And so, Waiata studied the kids in her spare time between researching. And Umi finally learned how to use the animal skin board in the alchemy room. It was to draw plans, which he used to show how to repair the bath.
