After being left undisturbed for a full day, the flock of birds was finally dispersed. Birds are a less common sight in bustling Strate City. It seemed like every bird in the capital had received the news and come over.
After three days of the device sounding, the oranges were ripe, and Ronnie promptly picked them. The tree was now bare
The small oranges held all the tree’s essence and looked like any other ordinary orange tree. Once the device was switched of binds Socked to its branches.
Disappointed by the sight of bare orange trees, the birds chirped sadly and flew away without eating any oranges.

Not seeing the person she was looking for, she ran out and called, “Ronnie, where’s Mom?” When Yvonne saw Ronnie outside, she rushed up to him just as he was about to go in.
“Your mom had a meeting this morning, and she hasn’t finished yet, Ronnie replied. He then checked his watch; it was already 11:50 am
He felt uneasy because they usually would have appeared by now. “Miss Adler, please wait in the house,” he told Yvonne. Tl

Yvonne to share them with them.
Yvonne carefully divided the oranges, placing a significant portion in her small bag to give to Anna at school later.

After the division, she was suddenly reminded of her mentor, whom she hadn’t seen in ages. She carefully selected a large vase from the wooden cabinet and began packing the oranges.
Several figures appeared, effectively trapping her. Yvonne looked up at the person standing before her. She often saw people like this at home – Ronnie told her they were there to talk to her mom about work. Because her mom had to work to support them she appreciated those who helped.
“Miss Adier, what are you up to someone asked with a smile
Yvonne was honest and answered all questions. Tm dividing oranges

Yvonne struggled to understand the ridiculous statement. Orange, looks like an orange? she thought, her delicate face eached with confusion as she turned to the speaker. His words were baffling.
