She wants to go to the source of the river. While walking down the river, she is overwhelmed from the beautiful nature around her.
Short time later, she arrives at a waterfall. But then, the feeling of being observed returns. But this time she sees a boy, when she looks around. A boy on top of the waterfall. In fact, that the sun shines directly in her eyes, she has to look away. Then, when she looks back, the boy isn't there anymore. After that, she decides to get back to the cottage..

**************************************************

This Chapter was very surprising. She saw a boy. The boy is on top of a waterfall, so she could call him a "River Boy". But actually, there can't be any humans around. As she knew, the next cottage is about two miles away. So who was this boy?
Furthermore Pop currently draws a picture called "The River Boy". Had Pop seen the River Boy, too? Does Pop wants to draw next to the river, because he hopes to see the boy again? And is this the reason for the fact, that there is no boy in the picture at the moment?
But one thing I can conclude is, that the river boy has to play an important role in the plotline of this novel.
