CHAPTER THREE OF ARYAH

Aryah? What are we going to do about all these birds that keep stealing the fruit off these trees? We can't make a lick of friut preserves with this puny pile of fruit! Aryah looked at her cousin Sable and seemed to have a moment where she remembered something. It was a quick flash, not even a real memory just a flash. What is it cousin? you look like you saw a ghost. Maybe I did Aryah said as she sat on a big stump of an old fruit tree. What do you mean?
