15 minutes: "Meet the Pilgrims"
They're here! Down by the shore! Right now!
You won't believe what they're wearing! Clothes made out of the strangest stuff! And their hair, such crazy hair! Who could've imagined such strangeness in people? Who could've imagined that they think such things are normal?
And their language, well, we're still trying to figure that out. It will all come in due time of course, but come, come, I have so much to show you!
Did you see their boats? Such wild and crazy boats! How much wood did they put into those I wonder? They seem confused though. I don't think they know what they're doing. It's funny. It's cute! It's exciting! So many new things!
They brought their families. I wonder if their families are like our families, or do they do things as strange as their hair? They show us such strange items. I have no clue what they're for, or even whether they're truly useful or just toys for passing the time.
Come, come, let's go meet them! They're working on their shelters now, or at least many of them are. Who knows what the others are doing. Why are they here I wonder. Do they wish to trade? Are they on holiday? Are they fleeing from enemies? Maybe one day they can tell us their whole story. One day, one day. All in good time I guess. First we have to figure out what they say to each other. They seem so serious compared to us. Maybe they're worried about something ...those enemies chasing them I bet! They seem like a kind bunch I think. We can certainly protect them if needed - nobody knows these lands like we do.
Look, look! There's some down there talking to your father! Are they actually talking? I have no idea. Trying to talk maybe. You'll have to get him to tell you the whole story when he comes back, then fill me in on the details.
These are exciting times we live in my friend, exciting times! I already talked to some of them this morning, or at least tried to say something. I'm not sure if we really understood anything we were trying to say to one another. This whole season is going to be interesting I think. Do you think they'll stay the whole season?
I hope so.
