Part I

How Do

You

Feel

?

Everyone gets asked that question and many times. It might not always be said the same way. It might be asked as How Are You? or something similar, but the meaning is

the

same

.

And the answer should be

the

same

.

What should that answer be? Read on to

find

out

.

Good

or

Well

Punch woke and walked outside. Squeak, his mother, was already munching on grass.

Good morning, Mom. How are you feeling?

I’m good, she said. "How

are

you

?"

I’m well, Punch said. "That’s the correct way to say it—I’m well, not

I’m

good

."

Squeak laughed. "I’m sorry, dear, but it’s good, despite what you may have heard."

Punch turned his head and laughed. "I’m the one who’s sorry, Mom, because it’s well. I’ve got you

this

time

."

Go ask Shinobi, Squeak said. She knows everything.

Maybe I will, Punch said. Just to set you straight.

Go on, Squeak said, "But I want you back before lunch, so you better get going. You know how Shinobi loves

to

talk

."

Punch munched on a few blades of grass, then he went to get Marco and Willow. He wanted company if he had to cross Dennis' field. Dennis was a wild boar, and he

was

huge

!

Dennis

Where do you want to go?

Marco

said

.

To see Queen Shinobi, Punch said. I have an argument to settle with Mom, and she suggested we ask Shinobi.

If Mom said to ask Queen Shinobi, then she already knows the answer. Don’t make a fool of yourself.

I won’t, Punch said. I know I’m right.

Whatever you say, Marco said. "But don’t say we didn’t

warn

you

."

The Long Journey

Punch started off across the field toward the big gate.
