บท 44: Chapter 43: The First Encounter with a Trouble

Warning: violent scene. Please skip this chapter or proceed with precautions for readers sensitive to violent scenes.

When Sophia was about to go outside to collect material to build the hut, she remembered what Mooney said to forget her identity as a girl and to learn life as a boy. She stared at her dress, caressed it a little, and removed it. Sophia tore the dress and created a shirt with the top dress and the bottom one (the skirt shape now). Then Sophia wore the skirt on her waist by pulling the side and tying them up. She planned to create a needle and yarn to sew her skirt to be pants later.

Mooney growled as Sophia took too long. 

Sophia smiled and said, "I'm coming, Pop!" 

They walked to see where Sophia would build the new hut. Mooney pointed each time he saw the broad leaves, tree branches, or rocks on their way. Sophia collected them, and soon her tiny hands couldn't bring more material.
