That night Chris returned with more firewood and extra berries and fruits for he not had to feed himself but also Anna. Anna was sitting and crying quietly in herself when Chris returned, so Chris went upto Anna and said,"Crying will not make you go back to your parents and you will only loose more energy." Then he stretched his hands and showed her some colorful berries. But Anna refused to eat anything and continued her sobbing now the tears flowing down her tender and fair cheeks had formed black marks and her eyes were also swollen. Chris was determined to make her eat something and said,"Look Anna at least to walk with your parents you need energy so eat this and you will get it." Anna innocently asked,"Really? will eating this give me energy?" Chris now happy that his plan was working said,"Yes the sooner you eat them the more energy you will gain and we can both look for your parents."
That night Anna tried hard to sleep but could not do so as she was used to sleeping only in her warm cosy bed and not a pile of logs. But early in the morning she fell asleep due to tiredness and the next morning Chris went to wake her up but did not do and he spent some time admiring her beauty in her sleep, so without waking her up he went to collect some food and get some more firewood. After some time she woke up and called out for Chris but guessing that he must have gone out she tried to get up by herself and do some exploring but just as she was trying to get up her legs were not cooperating with her and she fell down and by this time Chris was at the door step and when she fell down she gave out a loud scream of pain, Chris dropped his firewood and some fruits he brought and rushed to see her down and crying in pain, he went near her helped her stand up and made her sit on "The Bed" and consoled her by saying many things. Anna was really hungry and asked him if anything was there to eat, Chris was happy that her mind had diverted from the pain and went outside and brought the fruits to her. She looked at them with wonder for sometime as she had not seen anything like those in the British Market. Understanding her problem Chris said,"Don't worry Anna they are not poisonous." Anna took a bite from one and it was the most heavenly taste she had ever experienced she said,"These fruits are so sweet thank you Chris." Chris replied,"Your welcome Madam." Then Anna asked,"Chris how come you are here all alone what's your story?" Then Chris remained silent for sometime and said,"Anna I was a soldier in Her Majesty's Service and I was What you call an Oracle- my job was to find out new areas for camping of soldiers and one day I came to this place and slipped on some marshy ground and hit my head hard then I don't know how for long I have waited for me to be found but nobody came, I think they presumed me to be dead. It's been over an year since I have seen any human in this area." Anna eyes widened when she heard that part about one year. Anna said,"Chris what if my parents also think I am dead and leave me." Chris replied,"Don't think about your folks like that Anna I am sure they would search for you until they find you, you have very good parents and you are very important for them, you are not a useless person without anyone like me." "Don't say that Chris you have me to think about you and when my parents find me we both can go back home.",said Anna. When Anna heard that Chris was all lonely in this forest for over a year and that no one really searched for him made Anna's eyes moist and she really wanted to give him a big hug and let him cry over her shoulders.
