Imagine my surprise, then, when Darwin approached me around noon and handed me an embossed wooden box. I looked at it with immense gratitude and quickly unlocked it - inside was a set of calligraphy pens!
"I thought that a Junior Naturalist ought to get her own drawing materials on her birthday," he explained.
I was so excited that I practiced using them all day. At first my sketches were rather horrific, but they've gotten better, I think. And oh! As another birthday wish come true, we finally sighted land today! I celebrated by drawing out the Galapagos Islands - those are the places Darwin's most excited to visit. (I'm becoming quite good, aren't I?)
