One day, as Kristin was riding her bike back to Nook's shop, she fell off her bike. As she sat on the grass looking at her scraped knees, a shadow cast over her. Kristin looked up and saw the friendly face of an elephant.
- Are you all right?
- Yes, I think so...
- Let me help.
The stranger pulled out a first aid kit and took out a few bandages. She pressed them onto Kristin's knees.
- There! Much better.
- Thank you, um...
- My name is Margie.
- Thank you Margie. My name is Kristin.
Instead of riding her bike, Kristin rolled it along the ground until she spotted a cherry tree.
- Cherries!
- They are only found in this town.
- Wow...
- Do you like cherry pie?
- Yes.
Kristin and Margie sat down under the tree.
- When I eat cherry pie, I can eat the first 2 slices no problem, but when i get to the third slice I think I should stop eating. What about you?
- Well, I tell myself not to eat anymore but I just keep stuffing my face with it.
- So do I! And anyways, if we don't eat them, then they will go bad, won't they?
- Yeah! So it's better to eat them...
- I think I should be heading back to my house now...
- Before you go, here is a present for you.
Margie took hold of the tree and shook it hard. Lots of cherries fell from the tree and onto the ground. Margie picked all of them up and wrapped them in a cloth.
- Here!
- Thank you! I'll make some cherry pie and bring it tomorrow so we can share some!
- Sounds great! Bye!
- Bye!
And with that, Margie and Kristin headed off in different directions, returning to their home.
That night, Kristin wrote a letter to her mother.
Dear Mother,
I miss you a lot, and I think that I am getting used to living in Naturetown. I already made 2 friends, Rosie and Margie. They are very nice. How are you doing back at home? I miss you so much!
Love, Kristin
