Owlet and Jasper take one look at Old Snake and decide to stay in the cart. Rosie, who notices everything, sees a baby snake is already on the cart looking at the apples.

“How do you do, Old Snake? Would you and your children like some apples? By the way, have you ever seen this little blue horse before?”

“Very kind of you.” hisses Old Snake. “One will do. I have to cut an apple in small pieces or else there will be a bulge. No, I have never seen such a strange little blue horse before, and I have slithered everywhere in this Dark Forest.”

Little Blue is playing with a baby snake. “Look at my fancy necklace!”

Old Snake looks. “Be careful, little horse. The skin of a baby snake is very delicate. Come away children.”

“Let’s go!”
