At the palace, Tony was staring out of the window in his room. Then he went to see how was Mike doing.
He entered the room slowly, trying not to wake him up, in case he was still sleeping.
- Dada!- Mike called as he saw his grandfather comming.
- Hi little fellow. I see you're not sleeping at all.- He kissed Mike as he picked him from his bed.- How are you today? You miss mommy and daddy?
Mike looked at him like he said the he did miss them.
- Oh, I miss them, too. Well, I don't miss your dad that much. But I really miss your mom. All right, what're we going to play today?
They sat on the ground and Tony started to think of an interesting game to play with Mike.
"I'm too old for this" he said to himself "But what else should I do? Ah! Whatever! I'll just keep on playing".
- Are you hungry Mikey? I think that I am hungry.- Tony spoke to Mike, while the little boy just stared at him.- why don't we stop this playing thing, and go down to see what's for breakfast? Come on, let's go.
He picked Mike up and they went to the dining room. Tony saw the table ready, breakfast was being brought by the servants.
- Great.- He turned to Mike.- Looks like we're going to have a huge breakfast today.
He put Mike on a chair next to his. He filled his plate then before he start to eat he remembered that he wasn't alone near the table.
- Oop's, sorry. I forgot that you're here.- Tony said to Mike. Then, he started to feed him from his plate. A maide came close and offered her help to feed Mike, but Tony said that he prefers doing it by himself.
After they were finished with breakfast, Tony took Mike out to the garden. They played for a while, then he noticed that Mike was tired. His eyes were closing, although he didn't want to surrender to sleep.
- Come here, let's go inside.- Tony said, and he picked Mike and went back inside the palace. He took Mike to his room, and put him in his bed to sleep. He thought that it would be better that his grandson would stay in his room from now on, untill the return of his parents.
It was noon, Tony was still in his room. He didn't get out, he wasn't in the mood. All he was thinking about now was his daughter and a little bit her husband. He looked at Mike, who looked like an angel sleeping in his bed, and he decided to join him. He slept near his grandson.
On their way to the palace, Virginia, Wendell and Lucy were trying to catch up with Wolf, who was rushing to reach the palace.
- Wolf! Please slow down! We might lose eachother's track if you keep rushing like that!- Virginia called.
- Wolf! Stop!- Called Wendell.
Wolf didn't seem to listen. He rode his horse like a crazy. He was far from them, he didn't even stop or turn to listen.
- Let us stop here for a short time.- Said Lucy.- I feel tired, and I'm sure that you are also tired.
- Wendell, she's right.- Said Virginia.- Let's stop.
- But what about Wolf?- Asked Wendell.
- Oh, he'll be back. At least I think that he would, when he notices that we are not behind him.- Said Virginia.
They stopped, and got off their horses. Virginia brought a little bag filled with food that Mary gave her.
- Here, this is our lunch. I kept a little for Wolf, in case he comes back.- She said.
- Oh, I am hungry.- Said Lucy.
Alex pulled Lucy's jacket edge.
- What is it honey?
- I'm hungry.
- Oh, we will eat now. Come here, let's see what auntie Virginia has for us.
They sat on the ground. Virginia opened the bag and put it in the middle, so everyone would be able to reach it. Mary made some sandwitches for them. Each of them took one sandwitch and started to eat. After a short time Lucy sniffed the air and said:
- Here he comes.
- Who?- Said Wendell.
- Wolf. I can smell him.
- I told you that he'll be back.- Said Virginia.- I bet that he smelled the sandwitches and he decided to return.
- Maybe.- Said Wendell, and laughed.
Wolf came near by his horse, he got down of it and came close to the others.
- And why didn't you tell me that we were going to have lunch?!
- You were going like you were being chased by an army of trolls!- Said Wendell.
- I was?
- You were.- Said Virginia.
- O.K., O.K.! Don't come shooting at me! I just wanted to get home as soon as possible.- He said as he sat near Virginia.- And I am hungry.
He tried to reach the bag, but Virginia hit him on the hand.
- Your food is in a bag on my horse's saddle. Go and get it.
- Huff-puff, that's not fair!
He got up and brought his share of food. And started eating. When they all were finished, Wolf stood and said:
- Let's go.
- Here we go again.- Virginia whispered to Lucy, and they both laughed.
- Hey! What're you laughing at? I didn't say anything funny.
- Wolf my friend.- wendell stepped closer and put his arm around Wolf's shoulder.- I think that the ladies are cooking something for us. Let us show them who we really are.
Wolf looked at the women, as he lifted one eyebrow, and said:
- Wendie, you're right. Let's show them who we are.
The men rode their horses and left. leaving Virginia and Lucy behind. Alex got concerned. She grabbed her mother's hand and stood so close to her. Lucy looked at Virginia in amazement.
- Virginia, did you see what they did?
- Yes. They were so.. so..- Virginia thought of the proper word to describe the men, but couldn't find any.
- So much like men! Come Virginia, we'll get to the palace before they do. And we will leave them alone.
- Yes, and we won't go searching for them.
They rode their horses, Lucy took Alex with her and they went off.
- Lucy, which way should we go?- Asked Virginia.
Lucy sniffed the air and said:
- That way.- She pointed to the road in front of them. And the moved.
Every once in a while they stopped and Lucy was sniffing around to find the right way back to the palace.
A little bit far from them Wendell and Wolf were laughing about what they did.
- I don't belive that you did this Wendell.
- Did you see their face expression? They were surprised.
- But I wonder what are they doing now.
- I think that we should go back and check on them.
- Your right. let's go.
He entered the room slowly, trying not to wake him up, in case he was still sleeping.
- Dada!- Mike called as he saw his grandfather comming.
- Hi little fellow. I see you're not sleeping at all.- He kissed Mike as he picked him from his bed.- How are you today? You miss mommy and daddy?
