Don't Eat the Berries! - 08/18/08 11:35 AM
Don't Eat the Berries
Little Orla was just 2 years old when she found some very juicy looking berries. Orla had red hair tied in a pony tail like her mommy's hair and her daddy's hair was light brown. Her mommy and Daddy were very old now. Orla's mommy was age 75 and her name is Ashby and her daddy was 51 and his name is Nuru and he was a master farmer and master parent, so Orla had many half brothers and sisters who she played with. Orla liked the parties that the GC made as she liked dancing. Orla wondered why her mommy and daddy did not like the GC parties as they were always complaining about him making too many parties.
Back with the berries Orla was tempted to taste the berries when mommy saw her and ask her what she found, and Orla showed them to her mommy and mommy told her not to eat them as they might be poison and took the berries from her.
Later on she saw her mommy and she did not recognize her as she was not old any more and her daddy was not old any more. Mommy and daddy were now almost as young as she was; they were now 4 years old and were running round the village as children. Orla did not understand why her parents were not grown up any more. They wanted to play with her and to chase butterflies. Orla's mommy and daddy did not seem to recognize their daughter, as some of their memories had faded with eating the berries. Orla will understand one day as when she grows up she will remember about the berries.
As Orla got use to the idea of her parents been 2 years older than her, she thought now that she could boss them about and ask them what she wanted as she knew they still had retained their skills as master parent and master farmers and they would sometimes get some berries and share them among her and her half brothers and sisters and whole brothers and sisters. As Orla grew older, she realized that she would live as long as her parents and she was glad that she give the berries to her parents. There was something else that Orla noticed about her parents they had stopped complaining about the GC parties, but Orla was getting older and found she was growing like her parents and was now getting fed up with the GC parties and thought that one day she to will complain, but at the moment Orla was still too young, she was looking forward to her birthday and she would be age 3.
Chapter 2
Orla's Birthday
Orla and two other childrens birthday who were Lulu was age 11 and Nitis who was age 9. The grown ups that looked very old to Orla made some past out of the berries and the children all sat in the village center enjoying the birthday snacks and for once the GC made his party and as it was Orla’s, Lulu's, and Nitis's birthday for once every body enjoyed the GC party.
Several moons later deserter struck a mighty storm hit the village and all the food was taken. Little Orla was very hungry and kept going to the food bin for food. Then she realized that she could search for mushrooms and looked around the village, she found some mushrooms and got all her friends to help her to pick them and she also got Tala the GC to help. The children realized that little Orla would be an elder one day as she was very bossy and always seem to act different from the other children. One the adult villagers noticed this and ask her what she would like to do. Orla told them she wants to be a scientist when she grows up and she looked at the ingredients on the table and made some real scientific discoveries and became a master scientist at an early age of 3.
Chapter 3
Where are the Adults
A few days later Orla woke to find that all the grown ups had died of old age and she found there was no one old enough to farm as the oldest child was 11 and the youngest was 2 named Seven. Orla was glad there was plenty of food in the bin as it held now 2079580, more than enough to last them until the oldest was old enough to fish which would not be for 3 seasons. As the food might not last Orla decided to get all the kids to keep looking for mushrooms to keep the food supply fresh and up. The GC kept creating the magic food and restoring the crops that no one harvest and growing the berries that no one foraged and the berry bush soon had 500,000 berries ready to forage and no one old enough to farm.
With no adults to control the children, ran wild all over the village, so there was no events to keep the children happy. Orla realized that if her mommy and daddy had not eaten the berries they to would have died and was pleased her and her brothers and sisters were not orphans, but most of them were. At the last count there were 60 children counting the GC who never grew up.
Orla's present to the Golden Child
Orla wondered when was it the GC's birthday and found he never had a birthday as he always remained at the age of 5 as his mommy and daddy told her once. Orla felt sorry for the GC not having a birthday and decided to make him a none birthday present and he asked his mommy and daddy who now reach the age of 5 and now was the same age of the GC, to help with a present and they thought of flowers from the garden. All the children picked a flower each of their favorite type and Orla and her child parents put them together in a bouquet to give to Tala the GC.
All the children gathered together with little Orla leading the way with the bouquet of flowers and she presented them to Tala. Tala who was very wise in his years and even though he was always being in a child's body and would never grow older accepted them gracefully. Then he did a strange thing that no one has ever seen him do. He began to fill up with tears and he spoke for the first time in a mature voice, 'I am most grateful for this gift and I will always remember this day, as you know I don't make friends easily as they grow so fast and die, as you all know if I grow attached to any one they soon grow up and it is hard to let go and that is why I always remain alone and why I make parties to kill the loneliness, I feel at most times.'
After this speech all the children felt sorry and ashamed about not liking the GC and decided to respect him and from that day on every one who got to know Tala The GC, always showed him respect and when they had children when they grew up and had children of their own taught their children to learn and respect the GC and every anniversary of his birth the children brought him flowers.
