Arnie In The World Of Centaurs - Chapter 3 Chapter 1

Arnie’s friend Lorna exclaimed as she notices Arnie walk over a termite mound.

Lorna: Gosh Arnie!!! you stepped on a termite mound!!! you might get curse by dwarfs living on a termite mounds. Lorna warned Arnie

Arnie: Don’t worry Lorna, it’s just a saying. it’s not true, remember??? we always found mushrooms in the termite mounds but…. how come we didn’t get curse by the dwarfs???

Lorna: I don’t know Arnie, it’s just that many old people said that there are many who have been cursed by the dwarfs living in the termite mounds, I’m just worried that you might get curse too.

Jinie: Stop worrying about it, let’s go we’re already here at the river. Look!!! There are so many sayote!!! Let’s go and picked some. Jinie said urging her friends.

Arnie: there are so many sayote, it’s a good thing that sayote grew here in the river, my mother no longer needed to buy it in the market.

Helen: Why do you have to buy a sayote in the market? There are so many papayas that you can also use to cook tinola (chicken soup)

Yes, you’re right. But it’s not only in tinola that you can use sayote as ingredients and veggies it’s also delicious when you sauteed it right? Arnie answered

Lorna: Obet and Owel were inviting us to have a picnic at the river tomorrow, they willbbring rice and chicken. Lorna reminds Arnie.

Oh yeah, let’s just bring the pots and casseroles to cook the food we can also bring salt and vetsin (food seasoning) Lorna, and Helen said simultaneously

Great, there are many eatable ferns, snails, and wild tomatoes at the river we can get some too Arnie, Jinie butt in.

They happily picked sayote while planning for the picnic

Oh, Arnie… you’re back… looks like you’ve picked so much sayote ah? Betty greeted her daughters who have just arrived

Arnie: yes mom….. we pick many sayote it won’t be wasted anyway, besides there are so many old sayote that can be used to plant, in the sayote vines so it’s okay for us to pick the young sayote vegetable.
