“R-really?” Andy asked to confirm. “Really!”
Mep replied. “Don’t waste time here, Andy! Let’s go!”

After reassuring himself, Andy agreed with
Mep’s invitation to explore the city searching for the
treasure according to the map he got. “We start from your
house, then to the street in front of the chocolate shop,
the city park, and the forest at the edge of the city.”

Andy listened to what Mep said and nodded in
understanding.

“I’m ready.”

Finally, the two of them walked from Andy’s
front yard toward the city street. They left the house
while Mom was not around. Maybe she was shopping at
the market. Mep stood on Andy’s shoulder to
communicate easier. The city wasn’t too crowded that
day, so it didn’t take long to reach the first destination.
Right in front of the chocolate shop, Andy and Mep
stopped for a moment to rest while looking for clues for
the next journey. They sat on a long bench located right
in front of the shop and caught their breath. Mep looked
around while Andy watched the busy cars passing by.
Mep who saw Andy looked tired then went to find water
without Andy realizing it.
