The sat in the kitchen after getting a drink of water. He started to think what a stone and seeds could mean. The boy thought a stone is heavy and seeds are light. If the stone is thrown through the window and then the seeds are blown through it could that be the reason, and maybe the spirit could be free. The boy decided to go back up the stairs to attic, but there was something blocking the stairs halfway up. He knew he was strong, but he could not budge the thing. The spirit kind of appeared and whispered "Not yet." The boy tried to ask his question "What is the purpose of the stone and seeds?" The spirit smiled and told him to think, and the spirit faded away. The boy turned around and then looked around the room and maybe if he took a walk some answers would come to mind. It was starting to rain, but the boy gathered his rear gear and took a walk.
