 They began walking again and after a while Mah-Rukh spoke up. "Now, we have to try to find water somewhere. What are we gonna do after a week?"

"Don't you think we'll reach the jungle in a week? There would be plenty of steams there...." Asbar said, faltering at the end. He, like the rest of them was thinking about what Mahad had said, and how the streams were going to be incredibly hard to reach. They had yet to think about a way to avoid the thorns around the streams if they ever got to the jungle.

"Oh, never mind!" Asbar said at last, unable to stand the terse silence. "Wanna hear some poetry?"

"What?" Shad exclaimed looking at him in disbelief. "You know poetry?"

"Sure!" Asbar said enthusiastically. "Wanna hear it?"

"Umm ok I guess." Shad said hesitantly. They rest were also looking at Asbar with curious expressions on their faces. The path had widened so that they could walk all together side by side.

"Far off I see some shadows, what can they be?" Asbar started.

"Far off I see some shadows, what can they be?" He repeated; looking around at all of them. Then he stifled a snicker then said:"Four idiots are listening closely to me!"

All of them who were indeed listening closely to Asbar, turned to Asbar at the same time, shock clear on their faces. Then they laughed.

"Awesome!"

"Man you really had us there!"

"Wow, that was unexpected."

Asbar grinned.

"Now it's my turn!" Mah-Rukh announced.

"Ok sure." Shad replied.

" Twinkle twinkle little star,

Please discover who you are.

When you know who you are.."

She paused, became totally serious, looked each one of them in the eye, and said: "The mental hospital is not far!"

They roared with laughter. When they calmed down a bit, Sehr started.

"My turn! My turn!"

And so this cycle of jokes and funny poetry started, lightening their moods considerably .
