Aiden stood at the edges of camp, wondering how he was going to introduce the foals he had come to know.
"Uncle Adden! I'm hungry," Russell whined.
"I'm hungry and thirsty!" Sorrel said.
"I'm hungry, and thirsty, and tired!" Russell shot back. Soon they were arguing again.
Aiden shook his head and chuckled, smiling ruefully. Foals were nerve-racking, it was true, but they were fun to have around. His smile vanished as he thought about what he had to do. "Come on, guys, let's go meet those other horses," he sighed.
"I'm a girl!" Sorrel protested.
"Come on guy and girl, then," Aiden said. With no further asking, the Budyonny twins rocketed into the herd, Sorrel tripping over a rock, flying into the air, and landing with a thud next to Ariel and Apollo.
