Chapter 77: AvC : The boy who hunts

"N-none of you..had a stomachache, right?" Liam asked the ten children who ate the fish in one in gulped.

The children patted their little belly. That one fish was enough for their little body to be full. They shook their heads.

The other children who saw the ten ate, swallowed. They too wanted to eat!

They did not wait for Liam's instruction and dive once more to find a fish. Minutes later, consecutive slurping sound was heard in this certain valley.

A small fire produced a crackling sound as the dried wood was eaten up by the red flames. Two fish skewered were nearby the fire.

Al, Liam's little neighbor watched the flames with curiosity.

"Why do we have to..to..c-crook the p-pink fish over the fire?" Al asked Liam, stuttering a little on the new words she had learned from her friend. Her blue eyes blinked curiously to Liam who was busy grilling the fishes.
