Early in the morning, before the sun was up, an Alice parent and child had gone out hunting. In their usual feeding ground, they found sweet-sweets, something they rarely got to eat.
Engrossed in their rare feast, the two ate until they were full. Packing the remaining sweet-sweets into their mouths, they left the feeding ground.
However, unlike their usual trips, today the blazing sun had already begun to heat the ground before they reached their home.
Trying to escape from the ground that burned their feet, the Alices tumbled into the shade of a tree growing in the park.
Even in the tree's shade, with the heat radiating from all around, they couldn't take it easy. The heat was so intense, they stuck out their tongues and panted, but with that evaporation of water from their bodies, they were even more unable to take it easy.
It was just a little further to their home, but now the ground was so hot, they couldn't leave the circle of shade.
Her little one looked like she was suffering, but since physical contact would only make them hotter, the parent Alice couldn't rub-rub with her. Her tongue was already dried out, so she couldn't lick-lick, either.
Before they knew it, it was lunchtime, but along the way, they had dropped the sweet-sweets they had been carrying in their mouths. Even if they had had the sweet-sweets, they probably would have been too thirsty to eat them.
The Alice parent and child couldn't leave that little patch of shade.
Hot..... So hot..... Can't take it easy.....
How did this happen.....
