Bonds of Friendship

On their way through the lush wilderness, Shalom and Aduke strolled side by side, their fingers gently grazing the leaves of the plants that surrounded them.

As they picked herbs, Aduke's curiosity got the better of her, and she turned to Shalom with a quizzical look.

"By the way, what are the names of these herbs?" she inquired.

Shalom's face lit up with delight, as if she had been waiting her entire life for someone to ask her that question.

With a twinkle in her eye, she began to name each herb with precision.

"This one is Encephalartos woodii, that is Rafflesia Arnoldii, this is Welwitschia, and this is..." Shalom's voice trailed off, realizing that the names she was mentioning were foreign to Aduke.

Aduke found herself in a dilemma, as she had never heard of any of the plants Shalom mentioned.
