Chapter 32
No! Umi, my love, is too old to have another child! If he was just a bit younger... Aaaaah! Is that a grey hair on me? Eeek! Everyone's getting older! And it seems like just a few days ago we crashed here, and yesterday I met Umi! Wow, time flies. And speaking of which, I need to get to the research! I'll put this journal away and write again when I can. But still, wow.
It was true. Umi was 50. The tribe stopped their work and walked to the amphitheater. There, Chief Pilipili gave a speech on how Umi was now wiser than the adults, and would now be the first member of his, and all Chiefs', council of advisers. It would be made up of all elderly people, and the amount of skills you mastered in would determine your place. Everyone liked the idea, and Umi was probably a great choice for it.
As everyone was rejoicing, though, someone was sneaking into the village.
