Lessons Learned Several days passed, and one morning Ambur woke up to find the weather dark and cloudy. He could sense that today would be rainy. So she took her time, made some coffee, and made breakfast for him and Honeysuckle. It wasn't one of those days where it might rain briefly and then stop. It felt like one of those rainy days that lasts all day. Honeysuckle asked, "What are you going to do today?" Ambur paused for a second to collect his thoughts and said, "I think I want to go for a walk with Lucinda. We have some things to talk about. School, life, the future... things like that. And we'll have fun watching wildlife and throwing rocks on the pond." "I'm sure you'll throw some poetry at her too!...but don't be too boring, please? She's only 12!" said Honeysuckle. Ambur then said, "Well, you're not much older!" “Yes, but we trolls age at a different pace.” “I have to go,” said Ambur and he and Sampson set off to visit Lucinda. He wanted to get there before leaving with Frances or going into town to shop with his mother. Sampson flew high above the treetops keeping an eye on everything. When Ambur approached the house Kimberly was already outside getting ready for her morning run A walkIf you take a walk with me, we will explore together.I will show you some new things you will see,Don't worry about the weather!It doesn't matter if it's cold or hot,C 'is always something to find. Won it doesn't matter if it rains a lot, I'm sure the ducks won't mind. Take a walk with your eyes open and your mind open too. We will find bees and butterflies and woodland Phlox to smell! When you get tired we will rest, under a tall red oak. But soon we'll have to go back west, before man... middle of paper... wonderful feeling of accomplishment." asked Lucinda, "Shouldn't you use a magic wand or something?" "Shhh... just relax ." Ambur lit a single candle and said, "Light, hold it with both hands." Then he began... .The gift of gold hunting is here, it lies in my soul. I have only one to give, I am alone a Troll of Oakwood. I pass on this precious gift, It was mine but now it is ours. To you Lucinda - it is yours, I give you golden powers. Go forth and find what you can do, let greed not make you stumble. Help yourself and others too, I pray to God, stay humble. As soon as Ambur finished, a warm breeze washed over them as if they were outside and the candle went out. "What was that?" asked Honeysuckle. " That, my dear, was the acknowledgment that it happened. Lucinda is over.”
