Not So Nutty Adventure
BaoSmith was staring at his empty nut jar making them make a shocked baochu face, what happened to all of his tasty honey roasted nuts? Oh right he was throwing nuts in Frankie's mouth and he was doing the same to him, they ate them all during that contest, guess he has to grab his backpack and hunt for more nuts! They got a map out with all the hidden fall foraging treat spots circled as they examined it while packing up a little lunch just in case he takes to long. They put one of their pets, the wormy with the hat, in charge while he was gone before going out the door.
He is ready! They followed his map carefully to the first spot marked N for nuts, he is going to need a lot but can't take everything there! First rule of foraging is that they have to leave some behind for the animals and of course for nature too, he travelled through a lot of prickly feeling bushes to get to his first spot. Whoa! None of the animals hit the spot up yet there were so many nuts all over! But even with all those out for him to gather, they had to examine each one so they're perfect for eating, not just any old one can do.
He gathered a nice pile and began to look through the pile slowly, nope a lot of misses or not good enough ones for his lil bao palette but they did get a few so time to hit up the other spots! hopefully they'll have better nuts in those areas as he got up from the grass to start his hike but oh no not the prickle bushes again! he let out a lil scream but made i through properly without much trouble just a lot of fuss as he hated the feel of the prickles on his soft doughy form.
Now BaoSmith is going through tough foliage this time, they have to get through these tough plants! those tasty honey roasted nuts will be his!! with bao filled determination they finally made it to spot 2 and took a moment of rest before looking at the situation, there was an ok amount of nuts so it looks like the animals have been here first possibly? no time to think about that as they gathered a nice pile and began to dig through the good and bad ones.
There were more good ones in this pile but not by much so that means it's time for the next spot! BaoSmith felt his stomach rumbled so he sat back down, guess all that travelling made him hungry as he got his lunch out and began to eat it slowly and quietly, he heard if you eat slow you'll feel fuller plus lots of water!! he's doing this to minimize his hunger until he reaches home to have a big meal.
Lunch eated!! Now that he's fed the adventure continues until his backpack was now filled with so many yummy looking edible nuts! he had all sorts from pine to acorns! Yes you can eat acorns but you gotta prepare them properly or they'll be nasty, he hummed in happy thought thinking of making all these nuts in all sorts of food and of course using some for honey roasting, His thoughts full of making Frankie happy with these if he visits any time soon and knowing him he will, another baoventure completed.
Baosmith is in need of nuts!
