After spending a warm night asleep by the fire, Pip woke up just a little before sunrise. Looking around for his new friend, he realised he was alone again. He didn't mind too much though. Pip had a feeling he would see that friend again one day.

As Pip continued on through to the next part of this world, he noticed that the trees seemed to harden and change shape the further he went, Pip was sure he had seen this before, was this bamboo?

Pip had memories of being a much smaller seed, using small pieces of bamboo to float down river rapids. Those happy memories gave Pip the boost he had needed to continue on, and when he saw a broken piece of bamboo lay next to the river he knew exactly what to do.
