After dinner I was brought to Lieutenants tent because I had stolen the Governors dog and I had disobeyed orders by leaving my post. I was so nervous as I was being brought to his tent. He said he was very disappointed in me and he had no choice but to give me a flogging at dawn.

 

The next day, I was brought to the bushes to build the triangle with Goodwin. Just then, Waruwi came and brought a gift, which was a puppy. Goodwin was surprised and exclaimed that I’m in enough trouble already.

 

After that, Lieutenant Roberts came, ready for the flogging. Right then, I explained that I had swapped the puppy for something better. Goodwin agreed with me, but right away, Lieutenant shushed him. Then I showed him the puppy. I told him that it was a gift from the Natives. Every soldier started saying here here. Finally, Lieutenant Roberts agreed, and he congratulated me on my efforts. Well, at least I didn’t have punishment after all!
