Having successfully tumbled through the Meadows, Ecki's little belly started to grumble. Ecki began to peck at a nearby berry bush to nurture themselves.##As Ecki gulped down the berries, they looked upwards towards the Hillside.#A sheer cliff, adorned with balloons was Ecki's next item on the itinerary.#The top of the Hillside was so far up that Ecki couldn't even see it, no matter how they squinted.#Ecki also thought that they could see a cave, but couldn't be certain until getting to it.##It would be sunset soon, and Ecki wondered how long it would take to get up there, knowing just how much clumsier Ecki is in the dark.#Ecki felt tired just thinking about it.#But then, Jeka likes to say that "How long it takes isn't what's important, the determination to finish it is."##And with that pleasant memory, Ecki wobbled ever on ahead, with not much speed, but a lot of determination to make up for it.
