Suri
Oh no, no, no, no, no! The magic acorn is gone!
Sidus
See? What did I tell you?
Suri
I was trusted to keep it safe! Oh, why did I go to the river? We'll starve unless we find it!
Sidus
Suri! We'll get it back. We'll find who took it and put it back on the tree before the gray tails know it's gone.
Suri
Took it? Who would have taken the magic acorn?
Sidus
Who? Those ground squirrels, that's who. I'll bet they got a crow or a porcupine or even a fox to come up here and snatch it.
Suri
That's a terrible thing to say, Sidus! What if it just fell?
Sidus
No, look! See? The stem was cut. They took the magic acorn, Suri.
Suri
Oh no. We have to tell the gray tails. They have to know.
Suri
I deserve to get in trouble! I was supposed to watch the acorn!
Sidus
But we know where it is! I'll get my dad to round up the watch. We'll head to the plains and demand those grounders give it back.
Suri
Sidus, you don't know they took it.
Sidus
Oh, I know, Suri. We'll get the acorn back before the high sun. And we'll teach those grounders not to mess with our tree!
