Chapter Seven: The Tortoise Who Never Grows

On Monday, Bao agreed to sell three baskets of plums on Thursday for ten shells. She was pleased with ten shells. On Monday, the ten shells bought her nine loaves of bread. On Thursday she handed over the plums, took the ten shells, walked to the bread cart, and the bread woman gave her five loaves. "That is wrong, I got nine loaves of bread for the same price on Monday" "That is the price today." Bao had been paid exactly what she agreed for the plums, but when buying bread she had lost four...

Chapter Six: The Nine Book Keepers

Bao had assumed the book keeper was the important one. There were nine of them. At sundown they stood in a row at the end of the market and read the day back out loud, line by line, all nine at once. If a line matched, it stood. Anyone could come and listen. Hardly anybody did, because it took an hour and it was the dullest thing in the Pond. "What if one of them just wrote something nobody called?" said Bao. "Try it," said Moolah. So Bao went to the fourth book keeper, a mole with spectacles...

Chapter Five: The Toad on the Bridge

There was a toad on the bridge, and he took one shell from everybody. "I'm not carrying anything," said Nutsy. "One shell." "I'm only going halfway." "One shell." "I have crossed this bridge four hundred times. This is practically my bridge." "One shell," said the toad, and Nutsy went across making a noise about it. "Why does he do that?" said Bao. "Ask him," said Moolah. So Bao did, which nobody had tried before. "Nobody asks," said the toad. "Eleven years, and nobody asks." He looked at her...

Chapter Four: The Row Bao Could Not Take Out

In the Pond, nothing counted until you said it out loud. Bao sold three plums that morning, so she went to the caller and told him, and the caller nodded and announced it to the whole length of the market. “THREE PLUMS. BAO. TO THE CAT IN THE GREY HAT.” Four hundred animals heard him. The book keeper, at the end of the market, heard it, nodded his head and wrote it in his book. Watching the cat in the GREEN hat walk off towards the bridge with her plums, Bao realized that it was actually the ...

Chapter Three: Nusty Teaches Everyone His Whistle

Nusty had a bird too. Everybody knew this, because Nusty had told everybody. He hummed his whistle at the bread cart. He hummed it in the queue at the gate. He hummed it at a heron who had not asked and did not care. He was worried he might forget it, so he set it to words, and the words were catchy, and by Thursday there were children in the market singing them too. “You shouldn’t do that,” said Bao. “Do what?” “The song.” “It’s a good song,” said Nusty. “It’s your whistle.” Nusty waved a pa...

Chapter Two: The Bird That Only Answers to You

The next morning, the Beaver gave Bao a bird. It was small and grey and not very impressive, and it sat on Bao's paw looking at nothing in particular. "Keep it safe," said Moolah. So Bao did. She put it in a box, and the bird sat in the box. She found a better box with a lid, and the bird sat in that. Then she found a cage with a proper latch, and a padlock for the latch, and she was rather proud of the padlock. "That's a good padlock," said Moolah. "Thank you." "It does nothing." Bao stopped...

Chapter One: The Coin That Was The Wrong Shape

Bao had walked a very long way, and she had exactly one coin, and it was the wrong shape for everything. At the gate, the gatekeeper looked at it. "That's not a coin," he said. "That's a button." At the noodle stall, the noodle man looked at it. "That's not a coin," he said. "That's a washer." At the bread cart, the bread woman looked at it for a long time, which gave Bao hope. Then she said, "That's not a coin. That's a very small plate." Bao sat down on the wall by the water and prepared to...

Same Bench, a Year Later

The ginkgo leaves were beginning to turn. I noticed it on the walk in - that particular pale yellow at the high tips of the trees, the first hint of the gold that would, in another two weeks, blanket every sidewalk in the neighborhood. The cicadas were gone. The mornings had gotten cool again. The hydrangeas at the path's edge were entirely brown now, dry and architectural, holding their shape after their color had failed. A year had moved through the park in the time we had been talking. The...
