Pitter-patter. A mother giving her son a shoulder ride in the market. Market is bustling with many people.
Hey look those people are selling your favorite fish over there. Let us go check it out.
When mom went to the fish shop. I saw something unusual for the first time.
A white-blueish rock. It was completely clear looking with the fish being in the center.
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma! I keep calling her but she was busy haggling over price with vender. The vender was very weird looking with those long clothes and that pointy hat.
After finally negotiating and buying the fish my mom replied to me.
Here try touching it.
It was extremely cold to the touch. Mom quickly put it back in the bag.
It's heavy for now but it should melt.
Melt? Mom what do you mean!?
See this is called ice. This is the first time you're seeing it aren't you.
Yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes.
Isn't it amazing. This way people can take fish from one place to another place without it spoiling. Like how we keep food in our food in basement remember? Now let's go meet up with peka uncle.
The shop was briming with people in uncle peka's shop. He was very busy with taking care of so many people. Mom went to him and they both greeted each other. Uncle was very glad to see us there. He gave us some meat for cheap. He couldn't talk with us more because he was very busy.
After finishing shopping we were on our way home. Mom gave me a pomegranate to eat.
Say Lakota what is it that you aren't telling me?
Can't tell you. I made a promise.
What is this promise about?
It is about katt' fa-
Mom suddenly put's her hand on my mouth when i carelessly started talking.
So that's what it was about. Thank the ONE! No one is around us now.
After reaching home my mother told me;
My poor Lakota must have been scared from seeing that.
While hugging and giving me a kiss on the forehead.
I'll explain everything to you when you are older alright. For now let us go have delicious dinner.
