The wonder in which the children saw the world was rather amazing, though in this instance it seemed Aslan was more worried than curious. He couldn?t help the amused smile that played on his features, his son would ask shyly if the salf was bad. Another chuckle would fall from his lips, he?d never thought salt was bad. He was almost sure that they needed it in their diet to survive, or at least the deer did. He?d seen them licking natural salt blocks. He?d tried it himself and he had to say it was not pleasant. "No, it?s not bad for you," he?d go on, worrying about his wetted fur, "It might feel a little odd, but it won?t make your fur fall off or anything." In reality he probably should have been a bit more concerned about the sand that was clinging to their paws, "It just tastes bad is all." He?d bump his son?s shoulder with affection and encouragement. He would not be harmed by the salty water today.
