It was a lot of weeks. I didn’t think Robert could make it, but at last he made it. Though he was old, he was strong, energetic and powerful the same as when he was young.
I went out to take the vegetables to sell to the merchant. When I came back and approached home, I saw cow, duck and twin piggies were running and Robert was chasing after them.
When I reached the house, the crow told me that while I was away, the cow, the duck and the twin piggies came to visit Robert and told him that they were the one who told me to bring him. They said they were the real people who helped him. In return, Robert showed his teeth and chased them away.
“Why did he do that?” I asked.
“He knew what you asked those four guys and what they said,” the crow said.
I shrank my eyes, “How does he know? I never told him.”
“I did.”
“How did you know?”
“I spied on you.”
“Why did you spy on me? Don’t you believe in me?”
“I believe in you but I don’t trust you.”
After saying it, the crow flew away.
Robert came back from chasing. He welcomed me with his wet tongue on my face before he opened the gate for me.
