The unknown being

You were walking the woods to get to the town and sell sampaguita's. Both of your parents were sick for today, your sibling's were too young. While walking you saw some berries, you pluck and you count it how many inside your head. (One, two, three, four, five, six, se-) A voice echoes the forest sending chills to your body. "Hello dear Mary! How many berries could you carry? Mary then said, I carried 8 little berries! One, two, three little strawberries, five, six, seven, eighth blueberries!"
