When all three boys landed, Robb looked around. There were a half-dozen huts, log cabin-type homes and other establishments to live in. It was a small village, but it, apparently, was thriving.
Dwayne and the other kid, Stephen, started spreading the news about the ship that crashed on the island and about all the food inside. Pretty soon, most of the other giant boys ran off, to bring the food back to the village.
Adam was still carrying Robb, cradled in his arms like a puppy or a baby.
"You know, you can put me down now," the man told the boy.
Adam shrugged his shoulders. "Suit yourself." He placed the small man on the ground and continued walking towards his home, forcing Robb to run to keep up with the boy's longer strides.
They approached his log cabin and walked inside. Adam looked down at Robb, who was wheezing and gasping for breath. "I told you," the child said, walking over to a chair and sitting down. Robb took a few deep breaths and sat down on the floor, in front of the child.
"Are you thirsty or hungry?" Adam asked.
"Thirsty...yes," the man said, in between breaths. "Hungry...not so much." Adam walked into the kitchen and poured some water into a glass, returning a few moments later, placing the glass in front of Robb. The glass was nearly half as tall as the man himself and he was struggling to drink from it. Adam went back to the kitchen and got a straw.
After taking a few sips, Robb relaxed.
There was a knock at the door. Adam opened it to find the remaining boys in the village wanting to see the tiny man he discovered. Adam looked over at Robb. The man slowly nodded his head. Adam let them in and soon, Robb was picked off the ground, being inspected, poked, prodded and otherwise manhandled for the next thirty minutes or so.
"You're coming to the party tonight, right?" one kid asked Adam.
"What party?" Adam responded, holding Robb in his lap, as he sat in his chair.
"A party celebrating all of the food you guys found today. I mean, there as to be at least 50 or 60 crates tucked inside that ship."
"Oh," Adam said. "I guess I'll be there, then."
"Are you going to bring your new pet?" another kid asked.
"If he wants to come," Adam responded.
"Well, we have to head back home," the first kid said, as all the kids stood up. "We have chores to do, food to catch, stuff like that."
The other kids left, leaving Adam and Robb alone.
"So, do you want to go to the party?" Adam asked Robb.
