Swiftcurrent Creek What's that?

While Violet was busy losing to Buckthorn in a playfight (would have never happened to Burdock - if you had asked him), the little devil was busy in uprooting a spruce growing nearby. Well, to be fair - the tree was huge and it would probably take Burdock many lifetimes to succeed - but he was very determined. So far, he had dug around and beneath a tree root that had already been a little bit above the ground. The sand had been nice and easy to work with and pretty soon he had made enough progress to squeeze under the root and...

...get stuck. Burdock let out a confused whine, then tried to scramble forwards first - did not succeed. Then - tried to pull himself out backwards - failed again. Besides a sharp off-shoot of the root pinched him and he yelped out in pain. "H-e-e-elp!" he called out to his sister and father, who he had last seen somewhere nearby.
