There was the sound of loud laughter right behind the two children. As they turned in surprise Dinodas Green smiled at them and apologized. "I'm sorry," he said. "But when you said your relatives would have to dig you up first, I just couldn't help it. So you stole blackberries from him?"
The two children nodded, uncertain if they should speak to him or not. After all, he was a stranger.
"My name is Dinodas Green," he introduced himself. "I live here in Bywater. What are your names, young rascals?"
