Akea walked along the side of the river, her mother on her side. They where going to the plane, where all the doe's went with their young to play around and talk. Akea's mother stoped at the middle of it all, and all the doe's turned to stare. " What. are. you?" A snobish doe asked, looking at Akea's mother.
