One More Deal

(From Ella's Perspective) 

"Well, then I got inside the hole because I was curious. You know, there is this thing called science in my world that can explain everything that happens in this world. Like why do we come back to the ground when we jump, what are the elements in the world made of, what kind of things happens inside our body, why grasses are green, and everyday stuff like that. I thought that science would explain that too, and got curious. I mean, I had never seen or heard about anything like that. That's why... I was just a bit... too much curious," I said. 

"Curious, yes," he said tiredly. 

"And then I went to check out where the sound was coming from was out of curiosity. I mean, it's not like you hear that kind of sound when there is not supposed to be a turned-on fireplace anywhere near. I could not resist my curiosity. It's not my fault."

"Curious."

"And I touched your fur, not a monster's."
