I shouldn't?

But I checked the area and the mother was nowhere to be found. They wouldn't have survived for long if left to their own devices.

Isn't it better to bring them back so they could survive under your supervision?

We're not supervisors, we're friends! We help each other out.

They give us wool, we give them tasty hay, chase away bugs, and scratch their itches.

We don't know if they're carrying any diseases, or if they can be domesticated. Plus...

But they've got his scent on them. The mother wouldn't have them, even if she came back.

That's why he shouldn't have touched them.

Well, he already did, so we need to take care of them.

Why do you keep standing up for him? He's clearly in the wrong. He doesn't know anything.

I'm doing this <i>because</i> he doesn't know anything!

I...

Never mind. I'll go back and ask the teachers what to do with the little guys. Let's hurry, or they might catch a cold.

Oh! You again!

Have you had lunch? There was a fire here, and you don't talk at all. You would've gotten burned, if it wasn't for us!

Keep your distance, Grain Buds! He might swing his axe at you.

He won't. He calms down when I play my flute.

He likes to hear me play.

See? You all say not to come here, but I come all the time when no one's looking. I just can't cross the river.

He calms down when I play this tune. I've seen him smile.

I can even lean over to touch his axe. He always keeps his hand clenched around it, but he's...

Ouch!

Why did you hit me? Now you've made me mad. I'm not bringing you any treats next time!

That's enough, Grain Buds! Let's go!

The foals...

...We'll bring them back.

Next time, think before you act.

I...

(What am I doing here?)
