Badgers they appeared to be, apparently violent at times though this didn't bother the child at all. They were only half her height! How could they ever harm her? Curious, she then counted how many cubs were trailing behind the mother. One...two...what comes after two? Oh yeah, three...four - there were four of them. "Look! There's four!" she exclaimed, wagging her tail. With a green paw she gestured to each cub. "That one's Ren, that one's Kait, that one's Nixie and that one's me!" She finished with a fit of giggles and a grin that split across her features. My, she was happy indeed.
The suggestion of finding other animals excited the girl. So badgers weren't the only animals? Wow, how many more were there? What did they look like? Were they small or big? Well, of course they were small, for her mother was the largest canine she had ever laid her scarlet gaze upon, though hopefully the child would take over that position. "Yeah!" she responded breathlessly, tongue lolling from her mouth. Her paws skittered ahead for a few metres before her head turned back, expecting her wise mother to lead the way. The child had no idea where to find these critters, and was sure to scare them off with her clumsy scampering.
