Kari was still quite depressed about how scarce the food was in her lunchpail. Her mind knew there was a drought, but her stomach refused to believe it.
Her spirits did lighten, however, when she found out that her slate-partner was a hobbit. Sliding onto the bench next to the young girl, she beamed, "Hullo. I'm Kari. What's your name?"
"L...Lily..." The hobbit lass just managed to stutter. Kari then realized that Lily wasn't as excited as she was about having someone 'different' as a partner.
Trying to sound more polite, she asked again, "Want me ta help ya with your alphabet?" She nudged the tablet toward Lily's lap, trying to smile as big as she could.
