"Thank you." Below the cliff, Pannis, bringing up the rear of the team, happily patted the huge head of the forest rhinoceros as each member of the team began to climb upwards along the ropes. He stuffed a handful of fruits into the mouths of each forest rhinoceros, saying, "I didn't expect you to still remember me after all these years. Thank you for your hard work this time. I'll seek your help again if necessary."
The largest forest rhinoceros snorted heavily and nudged Pannis's shoulder with its head, a familiar gesture.
"Alright, alright, I'm going," said Pannis as he was jostled about by the forest rhinoceroses, "I hope we have the chance to meet again."
However, the four forest rhinoceroses refused to make way, encircling Pannis like four walls, their eight eyes fixed firmly on the small storage bag at his waist, determined not to let him leave.
