44 It's A Promise
Scorch's trainer would be back soon - the Sobble couldn't stay for much longer.
They decided to spend the night in a hollow tree before heading back down river.
Before they left, Raggedy, Scorch, and Grookey all gave each other a big hug.
Words weren’t enough to express everything they were feeling.
Scorch called after his friends as they walked away,
“Next time, you can treat me to some yummy forest food☆! But none of that stinky fruit, okay?”
“It’s a promise!” Raggedy and Grookey replied, waving goodbye.
No sooner had they fulfilled one promise than they started making more for the future!
But the Sobble didn’t feel weighed down by these promises at all. This was all part of the fun of having friends.
So long, Scorch. See you next time!
