aldersprigDear Mother and Father,
I am enjoying the visit with Teshoni, Bryiery, and Tomasso.
Yesterday, they introduced me to a traditional Bitrani dish, made with a wide flat bread and many local fruits I have never tasted before. It was quite good, although I think Grandfather would look down his beard at it.
While we were in town buying ingredients, I saw two of the enclave Bitrani. They look so strange, but I remembered what you told me and did not stare, nor did I ask to touch their hair. (I haven't asked to touch anyone's hair, the whole time! Although Tomasso touched my braids without asking!) I have tried to remember to be very good and polite all the time.
Last night, when Bryiery was tucking us in, she told Tomasso to beware the Moonlight Beast. I didn't know about the Moonlight Beast, so I asked.
She told me it was a creature that comes out of the lines of the moons, the light that kisses the floor and night, and it gobbles up the toes of little boys and girls who aren't good. Tomasso had been naughty all day - Tomasso likes to be naughty, and he told me yesterday they let him get away with more, because I am visiting - and, Bryiery said, he'd have to be careful not to get his toes nibbled on, like his grandfather Gatito did when he was a little boy.
When she was gone, I told Tomasso about Empty Horns, and how it floats around at night, looking for children who were not brave or clever enough, and how the horns would fasten themselves to the head of any child who did not try. He cried for the rest of the night.
I do not think Tomasso will enjoy visiting us very much, when the time comes.
I remain until then,
Your loving daughter Laizhte
