The Beginning of Excellence

Gossamer glanced at her sister and pouted. "If cabbages can have babies then roses can to!" As far as she knew everything had babies and that's how you got more of them. She wrinkled her nose as Aris suggested they were bugs. If they were bugs they were very weird bugs. Where were their legs? Kotori stated fat-flowery things. Gossamer was really at a loss but then Briar stated that it was a berry. That was all well and good but Gossamer didn't know what a berry was either. She looked to Iolaire for answers.

Well, apparently what she was looking at were berries, strawberries. Apparently they could be eaten. Gossamer sniffed hers cautiously. It smelt good. She bit into it, consuming the whole thing in a few bites. Iolaire asked about other plants they could eat.

"You can eat dandelions, but they don't taste very good. Say, Auntie, can you heal things with strawberries? What happens if you mash it up and put it on an owie?" She'd eaten a dandelion on her first trip out of the den but she was really curious if strawberries had other uses.
