Features: The season of ripe cherries has arrived. Sparrow Truel is happily eating lunch on a tree. Coincidentally, Reynard passes by. Truel picks many cherries for Reynard. When Reynard can no longer eat, he looks up at Truel and says, "Thank you, thank you. These cherries are indeed delicious. Truel, you are such a good friend. If you need help with anything, I would be happy to assist you." Truel says, "How could I dare ask such a noble lord like you to help me, a humble commoner. If you really don’t mind, I actually have a question to ask you." Reynard says, "Please go ahead, good friend, don’t be shy." "Dear Reynard," Truel’s expression becomes melancholic, "My two poor little ones have both contracted convulsions. I have sought medical help everywhere, but there has been no improvement." Reynard listens and laughs, "You’re lucky to have met me. A few years ago, when I traveled to the East, a prince also had the same illness, and I cured him myself. I would also be very willing to relieve your children’s suffering." "That would be truly grateful. I will go and bring the children right now. Please start the treatment as soon as possible. They can’t take it anymore." P33-34
