Alas! Aleia and the hobbits have been lazy, for they did no miles today. It was raining miserably, so they sat huddled under some tall bushes in a circle. Amid the thunder and lightning they tried to lighten their spirits but ended up falling asleep for most of the day. Aleia made a promise to herself that they WOULD walk more tomorrow!
