The next day, the four friends had a meeting in Pomegranate’s garden to discuss about the mystery. “I found nothing in Greenland that can help us to solve this mystery,” said Pomegranate. “No clues and no information. Furthermore I can’t speak the language they speak, so it was hard for me to communicate with the Greenlander over there. So I think we’ll have to get more clues here in Foodsland. And the answers from Tamingsari couldn’t help us at all. He said he had never come here before, and this is the first trip to Foodsland that he had ever made. So, I don’t think my trip to Greenland can help us in solving this mystery,” continued Pomegranate.
They then decided to go to the woods to search for more clues. As they walked near the woods, they saw two men walking from the woods. One was small, slim and dark with white hair and the other was tall, big and red headed. Milk asked the first man, “Good morning, sir. Sorry for interrupting you, but do you know the person who had cut down the trees in the woods or do you know someone who might have done it?”
“No,” said the man looking angrily at Pomegranate, “and stop playing in the woods. This is a dangerous place,” he continued in a croaked voice. He walked towards his big truck, stated the engine and drove away.
Pomegranate walked to the second man, “Excuse me, sir. Do you know someone who might have cut down the trees in the woods?”
The man looked at them with a warm smile. Then he answered in a kind and soft voice, “I wish that I can help you but sorry, I have no idea. It is nice to know that you care about the trees in this woods. Maybe you could take a look around this place for some clues. By the way, I’m Steve Black, the fisherman.”
“Thanks, Mr. Black,” said Pomegranate. ” I am Pomegranatehael Alvernda. It’s very nice to meet you.”
They all went into the woods and inspected the trees around them. Then they reached an area where the thick bushes stopped them from going further. Suddenly they heard some rustling sound in the bushes. They stood back, scared and wondering what could it be. They were about to run away when they saw a man behind the bushes. He saw the children and walked out from the bushes.
He then walked towards them and introduced himself, “Hi, I am Rupert Alexender Marmet. I am a botanist from Australia. I am studying the plants in this woods. Do you like plants too?” They asked him a lot of questions and the kind botanist was happy to answer their questions. He showed them photos of some wonderful plants that he saw in the woods.
Then he asked them, “It seems that someone had cut down a lot of trees around the woods especially that area,” he said pointing to the area where they came from. “Do you know who did it and why?” The children told him that they were also asking the same questions too. The botanist said, “Well, I have to go now. I really enjoyed talking to all of you and hope that you can solve the mystery of who cut the beautiful trees and why; so that we can stop the person from destroying this beautiful woods. I hope we’ll meet again soon. Goodbye!”
“So, what’s next, Milk?” asked Pomegranate after Rupert left them.
“I think we’ll go and ask a friend of mine if he knows anything about what had happened in the woods as he lives nearby,” answered Milk. “It’s better to ask someone we know than someone we don’t.” And so they all went to the house of Milk’s German friend named Frederick. But he told them that he did not know much about it. He only read about it from a newspaper. Frederick explained that it was against the law to cut down trees in the woods.
Instead of giving them clues, he served them chocolate ice-cream that he made all by himself. The ice-cream was so delicious and creamy and the four children really enjoyed the tasty ice-cream. Soon, they said goodbye to Frederick and walked to a nearby riverbank to discuss about what had happened.
Suddenly they heard footsteps from behind them. They looked behind them but they could not see anything. After a while, they heard clattering noise from the woods across the river. They looked up and saw a few trees started to fall down to the ground on the other side of the river.
