Mercy was going to respond to Poe's remarks about eating bugs when Lapin - in typical form - suddenly dashed off, she had not caught sight of what the foal was chasing and could only hope that whatever it was it wasn't dangerous. "Lapin! Lapin wait!" She called to the filly but of course the little foal was already far to interested in what she was doing to hear what her aunt was saying.

"Come on Poe..we have to make sure she doesn't get into trouble" Mercy told the other filly, nudging her forward as they started after Lapin.


Poe had been paying attention to the fish - which had started to ppek thier heads out of the weeds before Lapin sudden;y dashed off, the splashing from her hooves driving the little water animals into hiding again..and then Aunt Mercy was nudging her forward and telling her they had to go and make sure Lapin wasn't going to get into trouble.

"Oh she's going to get into trouble" Lapin told her Aunt as she picked her way carefully over the riverbed "..She always get's into trouble..." IT seemed like the trip to the stream was over...but oh well, perhaps what Lapin found would be interesting too. As long as they could all get there without being hurt!
