Autumn turnd to look at Giles. "Daisy's birthday's tomorrow!! Why, I didn't know that!! That would be great if you made er some skis, Giles. What do you think I should give her? Hhmmmm..."

Autumn turned and looked around the barn in search of something that she could make Daisy. Spotting some pieces of old leather, Autumn bent to pick them up. "I think I remember hearing Daisy saying that she lost her canteen in the warg attack. I'll make a nice canteen out of this and some of that wood."

Autumn smiled to herself. This was much better than feeling sorry for herself and mourning over Emerald. She had actually had something to do, and doing things always kept her mind from bringing up memories; memories that she would rather like to forget.

Auutmn and Giles bagan to get to work on making the rabbit trap. After making it, and setting it out in the forest to catch some nice, fat rabbits, they went back to the barn. The two hobbits began to assemble their presents for Daisy.

"You know what, Giles?" Autumn spoke up suddenly, and turned to look at Giles from where she sat on th ground, "I think that, if we are still here on the farm tomorrow, that we should get together a slight party for Daisy. I think that she would really like that, since she's been so sad lately. Do you think that everyone else wll help with the preparations?"

Giles smiled at Autumn, "I'm sure that they will be very excited to help, Autumn. Let's ask them after we finish our presents for Daisy. I'm almost done. How about you?"


Autumn looked down at her half-finished canteen. She hadn't made one of these in a while, but she was finally starting to remember how to make one. "I'm almost done, too," Autumn sighed happily, "I love birthdays. I hope Daisy will like our presents and her party."

"I'm sure she will," responded Giles with a smile. Then the two hobbits bent back over their gifts, carefully assembling the precious presents for Daisy.
