Sophie quickly helped Crispy Noodles bandage the wound and tied a butterfly knot using the gauze.
Crispy Noodles stretched his legs, looked at the butterfly knot on his paw happily and ran back to concentrate on digging and stone flipping.
Sophie returned the first aid kit to Alicia. "Thank you. If not for this, we would have left the wound to heal by itself. You've been a great help."
"No, no—this is a small thing," laughed Alicia. "But if you want to be gem hunters, it's best to have a first aid kit ready. You might not be aware, but there are lots of creatures out here that can hurt people."
"Yes, especially fire ants," warned Brendan. "If you see them, you must quickly get away. Don't take them too lightly. It's not a joking matter if you get bit and you don't have any first aid equipment with you."
