they hadn’t brought drinking water. Binya, the youngest sister decided to go home to fetch few
water bottles after Rony and Tom promised not to eat the sandwiches until she got back. After
her departure, they stood in the middle of the forest and saw flocks of birds flying in and out and
swarms of bees collecting honey from flowers. After a while Rony, the eldest brother suggested
