Reki needed time away from the other children to recharge. He had found a patch of pretty flowers and quickly sunken in among them, enjoying their smell, and humming a little tune to himself when an adult he had not met arrived.

They spoke quickly - said something about how the flowers are useful. To the boy that meant, what are you doing? Get out of my flower patch!

Almost as soon as he'd heard the comment, Reki was standing rather than sprawling, and began the process of high-stepping out from the heart of the blooms.

Sawwy, he hastened to proclaim, his ears back.
