Glee is sitting on his porch smoking his pipe while Linee cooks’ dinner. He watches the Harpies fly back to their nesting site. Linee comes out and says “Dinner is almost ready.” Glee puts out his pipe and starts to head in when three Harpies land nearby.

Glee and Linee both recognize the Harpies as Speaker, Grandma, and Elder Mother. Speaker steps forward saying “Hello, Hello.”

Glee says to Speaker “What is it Speaker?”

Speaker looks to Grandma and Elder Mother then says “You see our home. We want to see you home.”

Glee and Linee look at each other, then Glee says to the Harpies “Well come on in” as he motions them in.

The Harpies walk into the house and start looking around. They try to keep their wings close to their bodies as much as possible. Linee calls out to her daughters saying “Girls, come down! We have guests!” Her daughters quickly come down and are happy to see the three Harpies.

The Harpies want to get up on something so they can look around without standing. Grandma sees a chair and tries jumping up on it. But she quickly pulls back when it starts moving. Linee realizes that the Harpies don’t know about rocking chairs. She goes over and helps Grandma sit in it. She then gently starts rocking it for Grandma. Grandma gets a feel for it and just sits back and enjoys it.

Speaker and Elder Mother start climbing the steps up to the girls’ room. The girls quickly follow and help them up. Speaker and Elder Mother find the beds and even jump up on them. One of the girls climbs into bed to show them how they sleep.

Linee checks on her dinner and calls everyone to the table. Linee says to Speaker “You are all welcome to join us for dinner.” The Harpies seem overjoyed at those words.

 

Soon everyone is sitting around the table. The family sits a Harpy between them to help them eat.

 

The Harpies leave after dinner. Speaker says to Glee and Linee “uh, thank…you?”

Glee says “You are welcomed anytime. Just not every day.” Speaker nods and starts climbing a rope net on the side of the house. Glee had the farmhands make it so the Harpies could climb up and take off from the roof.

 

Meanwhile, Bidi is looking over his fence where the Boar smashed through it and says to himself “I’m going to need some more wood to fix this.”
