The Little Boy's Smile
Angela has fallen, hit her head and when she wakes up she does not know who she is or where she is. The only image in her mind is a boy with a radiant smile.
It is pouring rain and she finds out that her ankle is badly sprained. She sees a backpack down the steep embankment and decides to slide down to it. The contents of the backpack let her know some of her talents and the fact that she is packed to camp out.
Once the rain stops, still only able to maneuver on her knees, she sets up camp. She takes out her note pad and begins to capture the scene of the valley she is in. She takes a dip in the stream by which she is camped to wash off all the mud. Once clean she sits on the stream bank with her feet in the cold water.
She is not sure of what she is seeing but as she sits down by her fire ring, the Princes points to a spot where a gold chain is exposed. Angela pulls the chain from the ashes. The pendant at the end of the chain is a likeness of the Princes.
After a couple of days, Angela's ankle is strong enough for her to walk on.
As she gets her camp cleaned up, she sees the Indian Prince pointing across the valley to where a sparkle can be seen. Angela decides that her ankle will make the journey across the valley to see if she can find the what is sparkling. She finds a pendant that is the same as the one she has sketched being worn by her Princes by the stream.
She is now ready to leave the valley.
She is constantly wondering who the boy with the Radiant Smile might be. She hopes that she will meet him.
Her hike across the valley and out along the trail that she had come in on, slowly brings back some of her memory, but she still cannot remember her name.
Then she comes up from the trail to a road. There on the road is the Boy with the Radiant smile. It is her twin brother. Things all seem to flash back.
She walks to him with her own Radiant smile and gives him a hug.
