Day 38 of Wonder

“What's for dinner?” The little deer said to her mum, already bored with her daily routine.

“Forest soup, my dear.” Her mother replies, eagerly moving towards the pool of water. “Freshly made with earth, leaves, herbs, grubs and water. Take a sip and tell me what you think?” The little one slips past her mum and takes her first gulp. “I think it needs some salt.” She surprises herself by saying.

“Salt? Whatever do you mean?” And then mother deer tastes the mix for herself. “No, my little one, it is perfect as it is. Just a little stir more and wait a few more minutes, but not too long. Fresh is always best!”
