Apple and Blackberry Pie
#5
Pip nodded with agreement of the she-wolf's words, "It must have been the weather we've had, all that rain water must have done the bush some good." He carefully took the berries from the wolf's hands and popped them in his mouth; he'd only tasted blackberries once before, during last spring and had almost forgotten their taste. He swallowed them happily and licked his lips clean of their juice.

This stranger had proven to be trusting enough, "I'm Pip" Pip said, bowing his head slightly.
"And I'm Jill!" Yelled the little wolf from behind Pip's legs, she'd clearly been standing there since Pip put her down, disobeying his order to go off and play. Jill turned up to Pip and flopped her ears down, "When are we making our pie?" She asked impatiently.

Pip rolled his eyes at his sister interruption and impatience, "Tonight, we're exploring right now aren't we?" He tried to say softly, "Now go pick some more berries, but leave some for the kind stranger." Jill nodded and turned to the bush, picking some berries and placing them carefully in her leather pouch. After she felt like she had enough in her pouch, she picked some more blackberries and held them out to the stranger, with a friendly grin on her face.
