She shifted uncomfortably, "Um, sorry?" she asked. "For 200 years I've been protecting this island!" The little boy frowned, "Is that why you look like a raisin? Cuz you're so old?" The man grinned. There was seaweed stuck between his teeth. "Yes. Do you happen to have a toothpick?" By #mongoliangirl
