Upon seeing what she held in her arms, Jeff was taken aback and filled with bliss. He quickly reached out to touch it, feeling the texture against his skin.
It was slightly gritty and moldable, with its color a dark gray material. The happiness on his face was livid, since he didn't need to look for it anymore.
He then placed his broad hands on Jessica's shoulder, filled with excitement. "Where did you find this clay?" he said in haste.
Jessica, feeling his touch, her face turned a shade of red as she replied in a low voice, "We found this in the river. I think there's more of it there if we come looking."
Jeff, hearing this, was excited. "Can you guys come along, since I can't carry all of it back," he said, pointing at the bamboo containers.
Hearing what he said and knowing that it was a lot for one person to manage, they each nodded their heads.
They also felt that they should cooperate since they hadn't helped Jeff.
