Alex gave Pearl plenty of time to be with his father while he went to meet the Lion to get his Mulberry tree saplings.
There were a few that were growing in the restricted section of the Lion Colony with the larger Mulberry trees growing there.
There were about 7 different saplings in total from what Alex could see in the place and was a little surprised to see so many of them.
"I gave you a seed before, what happened to it?" the Lion asked. "Did it die?"
"I haven't had the chance to grow it," Alex said truthfully. "For the past 20 years, I've been going here and there, never remaining in one place. I needed to be back home to grow it. Now that I have that freedom, I think I will have the chance."
"You are quite greedy to ask for more saplings when you already have a seed," the Lion said. "But then, it is true that the chance of a seed of a Mulberry tree maturing from a single seed is very little."
