                          "Lesson 1: RESOURCES" 
                          I said and let her follow me as I led her to one of the busiest places I know, the market.

                          
                          This is gonna be fun. The adrenaline's rushing through me already. 
                          
                          By the looks of it, we don't have that much money and it only means one thing. I'm gonna teach her how to steal.
                          
                          "First off, the basics, learn how to take what's there"
                          
                          I was observing the place with my keen eyes and suddenly they lightened up as I saw a bread stand. I quickly blended with the crowd and she followed me. I walked pass the stand and grabbed two apples swiftly as the vendor was busily chatting with his customers. Once we've walked a bit away, I took a bite from my apple and turned to give Xy the other. But.. amazingly, she was already juggling one with her hands looking so proud of herself and took a bite from it too as she winked at me. I've got myself a fast learner.
                          
                          
"Second, learn to take what you need." I said with a smile.
                          
                          There was this apple stand in the middle of the market and I quickly walked to it. I walked 'round it with Xy by my side. The apples were stacked so I let the one in the bottom slide and let the others follow as I walked by the stand. Luckily, there was someone behind my back who was given the blame instead of me. Perfect. I walked to the side of the stand with Xy beside me and we took all we can and hid them in my backpack. We accidentally ended up laughing and they took notice of us.
                          
                          "Hey, you!" the man said and pointed at us and the vendor turned to us.
                          "Stop!" the vendor said as I grabbed Xyrene's hand to run away. 
                          
                          "Let's go!" I yelled at Xyrene with a hint of enjoyment in my face.
                          "Yeah right! Faster! Haha XD" she said laughing.
                          
                          "To end Lesson One, we need to find what we need! A sip of water!" I yelled as we ran like hell towards the place I know where we could find water.
                          
                          We ran like thieves or should I say, as thieves with the wind brushing through our smiling faces.
