For one he kept crawling into my boat and hid among our tools, and fell asleep there. It was always surprising to find him there, and somewhat distressing to discover it once I was already out at sea. He just wants to be helpful, but it worries me, when he is so tiny. But then he also did things like play tricks on his friends in the village, and on the adults, too. He has managed to give us some decent scares on more than one occasion. Yet, when he brings things he's made from driftwood and sea shells, it doesn't matter that much. As long as he's safe and healthy and happy.
