Just because someone asked…but no more after this. ;-) Chapter Two: How Jacob and Nicky Arrive at the Forest Jacob and Nicky could not wait for the full moon. The next three days were certainly the longest ever to occur. What the key might do was all Nicky would talk about. Luckily, their mother…
John: "Maybe we should make him a turtle. Turtles are ninja." Juss, emphastically: "No. Turtles aren’t ninja. Turtles and ninja are completely different." When asked to explain, he added with hand gestures: "Ninjas throw things, while turtles go s-l-o-w-l-y." (Imagine the acting out of turtles go slowly.)
