The children hurried to the backyard once the order was given and Aru returned to the warmth of his house.
Dal was the one leading the group to the backyard. However, the moment he reached the place, he stopped.
A giant white bird was looking at him with its head tilted. Fluffy's imposing figure made him question his life decisions.
The blood on Dal's face drained.
'Ah! The bird!'
Dal finally remembered what the bird Aru was talking about.
'Shoveling away the snow around the place where the bird slept.'
The task would not be that easy to complete, Dal realized.
"Let's go find the shovel first." Dal avoided the eyes of fluffy and said to his lackeys.
For the next couple of minutes, they gathered their courage and crept around the backyard to find the shovel.
Only with it can they clear the snow and dig a hole.
