It would make sense that he'd think that way. She couldn't really blame him for it at all. If she'd been listening to herself, she'd probably have come to the same conclusion.
"Oh, that's one's easy to remember," she announced brightly. "Her name's Yazmina. It's pretty, isn't it? Yazmina."

'' Yes it is. Just like that flower Jasmin. ''
He like the sweet smell of Jasmin. It was nostalgic and it always seemed to him time would stop for a moment and the world would look little brighter. It would help him forget of the world that surrounded him. Take him to the place of sweet nirvana.
'' I know one place where lot of Jasmin bushes bloom. I usually make it my home while they're flowers smell sweet. Tell me what flowers are you're favorite? ''
He smiled nostalgically.

Oh, a topic Blossomforth could wax poetic about. Her eyes brightened and she perked right up. "Oh, I have so many. I do like to be surrounded by flowers with a breeze blowing and all. Best smell in all the world. But favorites? Let's see." She thought about it for a moment.
"Magnolias. I like magnolias, and roses, of course. Oh, and daisies. Oh! Honeysuckle. Honeysuckle might just be my favorite one of all. Or...no. Maybe tulips. Or poppies..."

'' I should have known better than to ask you question like that. I bet that meadow we were just moment ago is full of them in spring. ''
He laughed. He knew most of the flowers she was talking about and they all were pretty in they're own way. And then he remembered a story one Indian girl told him and he smiled.
'' Did you know that magnolia flowers hide candies inside? ''

Blossomforth flicked an ear and tilted her head. "Candies? What sort of candies?" She'd never heard that story before. "I've looked right into the middle of a whole lot of magnolias and I don't recall ever finding a candy inside."

'' Yea I did too. After I heard about it. And never did I find any. ''
He was little disappointed because of that. That little girl gave him one of the sweets she had found. Best tasting food he ever tried.
'' Maybe it is a story humans tell they're young ones. They do act strange from time to time. ''

"Well, you can't hardly blame them," Blossomforth said. "If I had to walk around in the world just on my back legs, I might be a little nutty too."

'' Yea you're right. ''
He looked around himself watching the nature. It was quite seemed almost like it was sleeping preparing it self for long winter nap. He continued to follow her in silence thinking of humans. It was true that they walked only on they're back legs but it seemed to him that they have better use of the front ones.
'' I saw them use they're front legs and it seemed they have better use of them than we. Although running only on back legs does make them slow. ''

"Little, too," Blossomforth opined. She'd yet to meet a human who was much taller than her shoulder. If she ever did, no doubt she'd be stunned. Maybe even into speechlessness, which would be a feat indeed. "Course they're better with their hands, though. They've got 'em!" She laughed. "Fingers, too. That way they don't have to carry things in their mouths."
At long last they got to the clearing where a few apples still lingered on the trees. "Here you go. If you can reach it, pull it down and eat it. That's what I say."

Sweet smell of apples made Flik to close hie eyes and breath in deeply enjoying the aroma. He walked to one apple tree and looked up. He couldn't reach the apples but he could reach the end of the branch they were on and shake them down. He looked at Blossomforth.
'' Would you like one? ''

"Oh, I'll always take an apple," she said with a shameless grin. "I suppose there's some who think a mare ought to be dainty about eating, and I'm not one to froth and drool over my food, but I do enjoy it. And I don't see any harm in doing so. Do you?"

'' No I don't. ''
He stood on his back legs and caught the end of the branch pulling it strongly down while getting back on all four and releasing it right after he got back to the ground. the branch shook hardly and few apples fell. One of them right on his head. He shook his head trying to get rid of the pain.

Blossomforth winced, then held her breath for a moment to keep from laughing, though a little snicker did sneak out. She blushed for it and ducked her head apologetically.
"I don't mean to laugh at you," she told Flik. "It's just, that's not the sort of thing that happens every day, is it, getting conked on the head by your own apples. Are you all right?" She was sure he was. Apples weren't as heavy or hard as rocks, anyway. Still.

'' Just go ahead and laugh I can see it in you're eyes that you want it. What a luck to be attacked and beaten by an apple in presence of someone I just met. ''
He burst in hard laugh. It didn't hurt at all that much but the fact that it happened was little embarrassing.
'' Yea I'm all right. Well eat up I won't be trying my luck again. ''
The apple that fell on his head was standing right by his feet and for his revenge he ate it first.
