"Mummy! Mummy! Come qwick!" Rosie dashed nimbly across the swaying rope bridge to the open-air platform where Windsong lay in a hammock, rocking herself absently with a footpaw, a handkerchief draped over her eyes. Rosie shook hammock the insistently, waving a scrap of paper in her other paw. "Mummy! Lookit what I founded!" Windsong opened one eye, squinted at the paper, and closed it again.
