Nate hurried to climb the stack of crates. He had something very important to say to this kid he just met. “I don’t mean to brag, but…” he said as he reached the top of the stack. “Once, I beat a condor this big!” he bragged, opening his arms wide to emphasize the greatness of his feat. The other kid looked at him with indifference. “Meh…” he said, unimpressed by what Nate just said. “Hey, what about you then?” complained Nate. “Have you heard of the lost caravan?” said the other kid. “Huh? What is it?” asked Nate. “Years ago, a merchant went missing in the mountains with all of their gold left in their carriage. It’s been a mystery where it could be found” said the kid. “That was… until the Red Scarves found it!” he said as he stood up heroically. “Huh? Do you know anyone” asked Nate. The kid points at himself with pride. “No way, you did it? That’s amazing!” said Nate with excitement.
