An ally
Our story starts in a barn in the countryside, Hedwig and her boyfriend Pigwidgeon have been staying here since they were set free. The farmer who owns the place doesn't seem keen on them staying, but his young daughter Klarentine is determined that they stay put.
Klarentine called up, "My papa says you can only stay here one more day, but don't mind him."
Pigwidgeon asked, "Does she know that we can understand her?"
Hedwig admitted, "I'm not entirely sure."
Klarentine told them, "I've got a plan. When papa comes back from the market, I'm going to make a deal with him. If he lets you stay here, then I'll promise to do the daily chores for a whole month."
Pigwidgeon smirked. "She's a determined young lady."
Hedwig smiled. "That she is. I think farmer John will agree to her deal."
Pigwidgeon inquired, "What makes you think that, Wig?"
Hedwig replied, "Her father loves her more than anything else in the world. If us staying here makes her happy, then I'm almost certain he will want that."
