Tempest in Paradise Chapter Twenty-four [ The landmark]
Chapter Twenty-four [ The landmark] "What are you planning right now, and why do you appear so agitated and disturbed when you were just enjoying a nice, restful night's sleep here?”Teddy had intended to move the landmark to allow the nearby farm to expand their covered field. Ericka, on the other hand, expressed her joy at Teddy's inability to react to the concept in a different way."Really, humn!”Teddy becomes stunned and raises his hands to scratch his head, trying to convince her that he is not doing this with malice but rather that he is giving her family a few meters of extra land from her mother's family because he intends to join them in an emergency.Teddy would prefer to say,"In reality, I would like to bestow upon your family a few meters of more land that my mother seemed unwilling to relinquish since she longs to travel overseas with my father and remain there indefinitely." His eyes met hers as he awaited her response to his words.He adds,“I have to dig in my moth

Chapter Twenty-five: The intrinsic CapacityBecause no pertinent data or information from the educational system enters her brain, Ericka is asleep and can explore all the colorful imagination that might arise in her currently vacant mind.This caused her to become ignorant in the same way as Teddy, who is only five years old. But she is about to turn fourteen and is still unable to continue her education because of her previous unpredictable illness."Christmas Eve is nearing, my beloved."Mama Elaine said that she was taking a large, coiled bundle of green banana leaves that had already been cut off at the midrib when she abruptly appeared from the backyard."Mama, what are your plans?”When Ericka hears her mother talking about Christmas Eve, she unexpectedly and excitedly gets out of bed. She observed her with a large load. She hurries over to assist her, but as she does, her foot slips, and she suffers severe sprains without complaining. But she realized she couldn't mislead her

Chapter Twenty-six: The solitary days at HomeEricka is the only one left alone early on Christmas Day because she woke up so late. Her parents left earlyin the morning before the sun rose, so they wouldn't miss the Christmas church services and could stillmeet their distant relatives, whom they hadn't seen in a long time. Ericka missed seeing her godparentsalready because they moved to a distant place and she couldn't find out exactly where they were."I don't know why, because I wasn't with them last night, I have to take responsibility for clearing out the various leftovers from the party.”When Ericka saw those mounds of filthy utensils that the guests and family had been using throughout the day's Christmas festivities, she became upset.She felt a sudden unease and a sour taste in her stomach, prompting her to dash downstairs to the comfort room.Sadly, there isn't enough water in the large bucket to wash her filthy behind and flaunt it on this toilet.“How terrible! It reall

Chapter 27: [The charming smiles and positive attitude on life]After Christmas break, the three teenagers awoke early to the sound of the rooster crows from the farm house, along with their neighbor and best friend Teddy. Ericka was unable to move from her bamboo bed due to the swelling in her foot. She is screaming and groaning, the roaring wind competing with her, and voices are emerging in the tremulous, stammered sound.She continued, "John, Kuya Randy, Where Are Mama and Papa? Can you come help me get out of bed?" adding, "I needed help because I had to go downstairs to the comfort room for an emergency because I had bad foot soreness."Something uncomfortable and awkward seeps into her voice. As soon as Teddy heard her, he slowly got up from where he had been lying next to John and moved toward her bedroom with the door open.Ericka is writhing in excruciating pain and tries not to let anyone touch her hurting feet. Her normal foot follows the one that hurts as she slowly and g

Chapter Twenty-eight [ The Hatched Broods]“My darling, beautiful daughter, you must be restricted to this free ward!”Papa Ernest gives Ericka a serious look while flicking glances at Teddy and the man they were chatting excitedly with as they awaited Ericka's diagnostic results.“Papa, I no longer experience agony. Now that you're all home, I can go. There are no longer any good reasons to be imprisoned here; therefore, don't waste money, time, or effort on being here. All that's sprained on this foot is edema. It will all disappear tomorrow.”Ericka begs to go home while fixing her intense gaze on her father. Ernest, however, intervened abruptly and urged that Erika stay in the free ward, displaying the results of her leg fractures and the crack stitches on her right forehead.Ericka's face appears terrible as she notices the bandage tied to her forehead and gradually moves it around using her finger. She also feels some pain. Ericka finds herself feeling depressed, her eyes gettin

Chapter Twenty-nine [The predators and the whirlwind]With unclouded vision, Elaine observed the medium-sized creeping snakes that were causing the bamboo trunk stacks to collapse and their broods to vanish.“I now realize that they prey on my hens and pets at night when fewer people are around.”As they search for victims to consume, the predators are famished.“We failed to use smoke to drive them away and safeguard our livestock.”She raises her head in prayer, asking for protection over her food and money sources.“Lord, you have promised those who follow You to offer what is rightfully Yours instead of trying to get something else. We humbly beseech You in the name of an answered prayer, and we will present You our offerings as soon as we can, confident that You have safeguarded our land and resources for Your glory so that all people can know You, our God who saves and protects Your people in Jesus Christ. Amen.”Ernest remains nearby, continuing to investigate.“Now, honey, tho

Chapter Thirty [ Major Concern] "Have faith, as this chaotic and intense period is fleeting. Teddy, normally it merely tears up the surrounds for six seconds.”Ericka explains while she is hiding behind the shrubs in the midst of the large land border between the hospital and the enormous river bank, with Teddy clinging to her as well. Furthermore,“You should be aware that a whirlwind is a natural occurrence in which turbulence and instabilities brought on by gradients, heating, and flow currents or air orienting vertically generate a wind vortex or rotating wind column. Teddy, I discovered it while studying in school.”Teddy listens intently, knees trembling as Ericka speaks.“That is to say, as I recover quickly, I am excited to continue my studies. The next time, we should exercise caution and cut back on our playing. It would be better if we played inside, read books, had some indoor toys, and enjoyed some music. It's improved!"Teddy nodded firmly and gradually released h

Chapter Thirty-one [ Facing new challenges]“Don't go past the guards' line of sight the next time. That region has a long history of magic, and people who inadvertently stumble upon it will never be able to leave since there is a fairy that led people astray and took them to their enchanted realm. Especially the biggest, oldest tree where you end up when the rescuers arrive Ernest keeps drawing people in with his entertaining remarks.According to an old folktale, two young lovers who had gone away when they first met were discovered drifting on the strong river current many days later. Would you like something to happen to you both?"Ernest tells them the local folklore and then turns his head to severely warn them, while Teddy and Ericka exchange smiles and eyes that begin to expand out, saying,“Waaahhh!' The two kids eventually reacted by shaking their heads ludicrously and turning fearful of what Ernest described. This was their silly reaction upon finally finishing the dextros

Chapter Seventy-two [ The Heart's music]Darwin recalls the horror that occurred when the government invaded the insurgents' camp.“The person in the Fox face mask uses a tiny spotlight in her lighter to target anyone at the campsite who is using drugs or having sex in an unethical manner.” Including“The tiger-faced female teacher, who seemed rebellious, almost sniffed every stick in the pouches, which caused her to develop a sex addiction. In contrast, I was still mentally sound at the time since he only sampled one stick. She has lost her sense of good and wrong since she is under the influence of illegal and prohibited narcotics used by syndicates, who convince her to rebel against the corrupted authorities that refuse to provide her a position for which she is qualified due to her teaching profession. "Darwin further recalls,"I was able to sneak away and run to the secret route walk to follow the river as it led down to the lowlands, and it worked out well."With a heavy sigh

Because the opposing parents of the impoverished young boys and girls insisted that they stay at home and assist with everyday household chores while they were conversing and mingling with the nearby parents who shared their lifestyles over the holidays, the strategic plan didn't work out as planned. “It doesn't matter, Ate Ericka, because we young teenagers are eager to study and achieve unattainable goals.

Chapter Seventy [Using literacy to combat poverty]]Using a hanging string that they were using to move from one tree to another to get to their destination, Ericka, John, and the other senior students who are Ericka's classmates also jump abruptly from the huge trees in an effort to stop the filthy, immoral activities of the rebel leaders and to seize their illegal firearms, which they then throw and burn in the fire. They deliberately dump a big log as well.Even when the group members made a concerted effort to disrupt their activities, Horsey and his female partner didn't care what they did and kept manipulating one another in the center. At that point, Ericka and Alona learn that the gang's leaders are using illegal narcotics, while other members are already involved and addicted. Most of them are high on illegal drugs and don’t care anymore what’s going on around them as long as they can satisfy each other’s fleshly desires. To make it difficult for people under the influence

They all knew who I was, but I missed class performances because of all those things.Her eyes turn gloomy,Ericka went on to say, "It makes a difference," "I would rather join the group of young rebels and help them change their perspective so that everyone is motivated to return and have faith in the government because nothing in this universe is perfect. “Adding,"The entire class was making fun of

"Even though her written test was extremely difficult, Ericka is content as they stroll home in the late afternoon.When Ericka and John arrive at the large river close to the agricultural plantation, it is already dusk.

They just sat down after eating lunch with the workers, so their hands are clean.
