<div style="text-align: justify;">The girl who held the large dog looked curiously at the boy. She had never met him before, that was a fact. Gina had a good memory, and that boy didn't look like every other boy in town. There was something about him. Something she couldn't put her finger on, but it didn't really matter.<br/><br/>What mattered was that he was a boy about her age. For Georgina's simple mind, nothing deserved much thought. If he looked friendly, he was friendly. Over the years, the little girl would probably learn that not everything was so simple. But for now, she still believed in the general kindness of mankind.<br/><br/>The girl's curly auburn hair was messy, as every time she went to the forest, and her dark green eyes had a curious expression as they stared at Daniel.<br/><br/>"Earl", she replied, tugging on the dog one more time. "He is not usually like this. I'm sorry". After a pause, she held out one hand. "I am Georgina Benbow, but you can call me Gina if you prefer", the little girl introduced herself, not imagining that would be the beginning of a long friendship.</div>
