They would dance, jump aroud and stagger around like
the roots were real heavy and act all exhausted from
packing the roots cause they were so heavy for them.

The elder digger would talk with the girl and tell her
that she will be a fast and ambitious digger to take care
of her family and other people. And that she will
always have a good heart to take care of the people and
always share.
