Upon Return to Iluk Village

With my bag of verdant leaf stones in hand, I returned to Iluk Village. Senai and Ayhan were drawing something on the ground with some sticks, but they dropped everything the moment they saw me and came running over.

“Wow! You really came back early today!”

“Welcome home!”

The two girls beamed up at me.

“Hey, girls,” I said, “I’m back.”

They each gave a satisfied nod and ran off to the village square and shouted, “Dias is home!”

Then they ran over to the clothesline, which we’d made from spare yurt materials, and made sure to inform Alna and all the grandmas that I was back.

“Okay,” replied Alna with a chuckle.

“Thanks for letting us know,” added Grandma Maya, who gave the girls a pat on the head.

The girls then ran back to me, looking very happy with themselves as if they expected a pat from me too. That was when they noticed the bag in my hands and their eyes went wide. They jumped up and down excitedly as they pointed at it.

“What’s that? Did you get it at the village?”

“Show us what’s inside!”

I knew that the stones inside weren’t toys to be played with, but I also knew by the light in the twins’ eyes that they were going to keep on bugging me all day long if I didn’t show them what was in the bag. So I let out a sigh and resigned myself to my fate; I put the bag down on the ground and opened it up so the girls could see inside.

I knew that the girls loved jewels, gems and crystals, so I expected them to want a verdant leaf stone too, but as soon as they saw what was inside the excitement on their faces just plain vanished.

“Ugh, that’s it?” asked Senai.

“Boring...” sighed Ayhan.

They looked dejected, but then a fiery spark lit up in Senai’s eye.

“They’re just rocks!” she said. “Who needs them?!”

Ayhan, for her part, continued to look disappointed and groaned, “And there’s so many of them.”

I scratched my head. Just a minute ago the girls had been so excited. That was when Francis and Francoise came to the rescue, bleating something or another, and while I didn’t understand what they said, the girls’ moods brightened in an instant.

“Yeah! Let’s play!” they said before they then started running around.

In the end, I was glad to see the girls happy again, and I was thankful to the baars, but why had Senai and Ayhan taken one look at the verdant leaf stones and called them boring rocks? As far as I could see they were beautiful gems, and I thought they were just as pretty as the jewels that the twins had braided into their hair.

I was standing there with my head tilted in confusion, trying to figure out the difference, when Alna came over. She’d finished hanging out the washing and she was curious about the bag too. She took a look inside, but was disappointed by what she found.

“What? It’s just rocks.”

“Alna,” I said, “I don’t get it.
