[florian has been wandering around the village today, peeking in shops, attempting to climb trees, stalking bugs through the grass. the usual thing. he might have even run into one of you wonderful lucetians, it's a definite possibility.

it's been a really long time since he actually properly wrote in this journal thing of his, too, come to think of it - so sometime this afternoon, after a good few hours of running around, he sits down on the ground somewhere and asks an important question.]

I just thought of something...how do you know what you're not supposed to eat? Like, you can eat spinach but you shouldn't eat leaves.

...Do deer eat leaves? Maybe I can eat them after all...

Hmm....there's got to be other leaves it's okay to eat too, though, right? Like....cabbage leaves.

Yes, those are all right, too. And chives are nice to eat as well. [Do those count as leaves?]

Which ones are chives?

Hmm.... They're the tall and skinny ones.

[Isn't she wonderfully specific?]

Ohhhh, those ones. Those are okay.

[who needs specifics?]

...How about carrots? Do carrots grow outside?

Yes, carrots are very good. But you shouldn't eat the tops.

Are the tops bad?

Yes, they don't taste very nice at all.

[She thinks, anyway.]

Oh, I definitely won't eat those then. But the orange part is good!

Yes, they're delicious and they're very good for you.

I have some carrots in my garden--maybe I could give you some!

Oh, could you? That'd be good! I'd like that.

Maybe we could eat carrots together!

I'd like that, too! It would be a nice thing to do.

[These two.]

Yeah! Do you want do to that? We could, it'd be fun.

All right! Why don't we go eat carrots together right now?

That's a great idea! Let's do that. Maybe we can try making stuff with them, too!

Oh, yes, like carrot cake! Have you ever had some?

I haven't! I like cake and carrots though, so carrot cake should be good too, right?

Yes, I think so! Why don't we make that after we've had some carrots?

Okay! Maybe we can put some carrot pieces on top of the carrot cake too, to make it extra carroty.

[Well, she's never done that before, but hey.]

Do you think that would be a good idea?

It might be. I'd have to try it first to find out.

Yes, the only way to find out if you like something is to try it.

That's right. And then if it's good we can try it again!

And then share it with our friends!
