Then, at night, she whispered to Runner._ I´m serious. What were you doing with
those fellows?
_ Chatting up them.
That´s what I did. But none of
them can still catch up me when we run. They´re still
knee-high to a grasshopper tall.
_ And the day they
catch up you what will you do?
_ That day, when one of them catch up me I´ll kick him, the same as you do when
boys want to come up you.
Flower got quiet
for a moment as she was thinking. And then she put another question to Runner.
_ Don´t you
want to marry any of them?
_ Not yet. We are having fun at the moment. But maybe in a
season. I might find someone special, handsome and tall. But he must run faster
than me and be stronger too, you Know, He must be like that above everything
else.
