The little, winged mouse disappeared.
"Hmm, I think I should do what she said," thought Cheeseburger.
He picked up the box and shook it. Yes there were three little rattling noises. He opened it and peeked inside. Just as the winged mouse said: three golden seeds.
He traveled for a long time over hot sandy deserts until he came to Lupita the first city. He looked and looked and finally he found the closest well. He dropped one of the little golden seeds in the well. Even though the well was dry, the bucket attached to the rope began to wind itself up. As he looked down he realized it was filled with water. "I thought that well was dry," he said to himself.
He drank the water for his throat was dry. Once he drank it, he felt so refreshed as if he had just woken up in the morning.
He continued on his way till he came to the second city. By this time he was very hungry for he had not eaten ever since he left home five hours ago. He did as the winged mouse told him and planted the second seed in the ground. Immediately, an apple tree seedling popped out of the ground and began to grow. It grew into a big apple tree. Cheeseburger was stunned and thought, "Could it be my imagination?" He reached for a juicy apple and ate it. Immediately he felt refreshed again.
