Chapter 25

Kissa had just reached he 14th birthday and since she already had a skill in science took up researching. In 2 Isola years later Pepe had his 14th birthday and was not sure if he wanted to be a builder like his father, so he decided to have ago at fishing and he managed to catch a fish first time. However he failed to catch one when he went fishing again and decided to work on removing the moss. Obi also was 14 and had no hesitation what he wanted to do and went onto scraping away the moss and fixing the huts that had been damaged in the weather.

The vines are cleared

The builders were had almost cut away the vines and was working on the most difficult part of the task. They could see quite a bit of writing on the wall and worked hard at cutting away the vines that still covered part of it. Soon they could see the whole script and one of the scientists, found a translation and was able to make out of what it says it was about the gong that had been hidden in 4 separate places and that it should never be uncovered. Then they noticed that some writing had been added recently and that Tufo had left someone to look after the children, but had gone missing leaving the children home alone. The villagers were please they had found this discovery and knew why the gong had been hidden. Now it was they who were finding the missing 4 parts and would soon have it put together in it rightful place. Some of the villagers thought that since it was so dangerous, how is it that they had found the parts so easy. Who ever hid the parts did not recon on cleaver little villagers with the help of the guiding hand to solve the puzzle of the missing gong pieces. There was only one more piece to find and then the gong would be whole again.

Since the ocean was still clear the farmers did some fishing and Buru found a crab after his use a long knife to hunt it. Tobi also found a crab. Soon the food was available to the villagers 2670.

Algae pollutes the ocean

The villagers just managed to get enough fish before they noticed that the ocean was getting polluted with algae the ocean and the farmers could not fish any more. One of the master farmers who had the knowledge about such things said, ‘The only thing that can get rid of the algae is the algae eating fish. However, we are not sure how to find the fish as we don’t have enough knowledge where they are.’
Tobi said, We need to locate these fish as soon as possible if we don’t want it to get any worst and we know the crops are not enough to last though the season until the are ready to harvest.’:8
Then Orla said until we have more knowledge on these fish where they are, we just have to keep the population as it is as with 21 to feed, it should eke out to the next season.
After the meeting the villagers that worked on farming who also had science as their skills want on researching to try and research more on farming and one or two of the farmers kept on watering the fields. The rest who were builders scraped away the moss on the ancient ruins Laurence who by now was a master builder at the age of 18 was disappointed at her mother about not having any more children in the village as she longed for a child. She had to respect her mother's wishes as she was the oldest in the village which means she was an elder. until the algae fish is found. Also knew her mother was right and she wanted to make sure that any children she had had a secure upbringing with plenty of food to go round, even though there was plenty of food at the moment had to think of the future. Laurence also knew it was up to the guiding hand whether she was allowed to have a baby and maybe when the problem of clearing the algae is solved, the guiding hand will let her have a baby. So Laurence went back to clearing the moss. So far the builders had scraped away 51%.

The children missed Obi and Pepe as they were good fun to have; now they have become like the adults so boring and not wanting to play any more. In the end even though no more children would be joining them for awhile until Orla’s baby was age 2 there were 8 of them now all brothers and sisters apart from Napuka who was Mucha’s daughter age 10 she liked dancing. Bass was the same age as Mucha. With two down still able to play the tag game, but not much fun without Pepe and Obi and so did not play it as often.
