It had been a slow day on the ranch. It had taken almost 2 hours just watering all of the crops! After that it took another hour to care for the animals. Being too tired to do anything else, Mark decided to take a walk. He walked to the beach and just stood there for a while. He liked listening to the crash of the waves. It relaxed his acing muscles.
After a while of taking in his surroundings, he decided to take a walk through the woods. As he crossed the bridge entering the forest, he saw a glimpse of blond hair dash through the trees! Being a curious fellow, he decided to find out what the mysterious thing was. He dashed toward where he had seen the thing. There was nothing there. Well of course there is nothing here, Mark thought to himself, didn't he just see the thing run off? He looked down to see a set of elegant foot prints. From how they were placed, it looked as if the creature they belonged to had almost been flying on its feet! He decided to follow the unusual prints.
A few minutes later, he came upon a small cottage. Mark was astonished to see the odd, little cottage near the bottom of the forest! He thought he had met everyone on the island already! Could this be someone he hadn't met? He walked up to the wooden door and knocked on it three times. On the third knock the door opened!
Mark made his way into the crowded room. The room was stuffed fool of over-sized teddy-bears! He had never seen so many stuffed animals in one place in his entire life! The back wall had bookshelves filled with books and potions. Then he caught sight of the lady.
She was the most beautiful woman he had ever see! She had long, curly golden hair and scarlet eyes that were boring holes through his heart! She slowly walked over to him. she slowly circled him and then stood in-front of him with the beginnings of a small smile on her face. In a voice like honey she spoke,
"What brings a fine man like you to my humble home?"
