#15 Cute Nifflers

Soon, Alice noticed a niffler coming out of the sand. A fluffy pale-colored niffler sniffed the air, probably trying to smell the gem.

The cute little niffler comes closer to her, looking between her and the gem in her hand. Alice bended down to her knees and took her hand near the ground level, from where he could easily grab the gem from her hands.

Alice grinned as the niffler slyly came near her. She kept her hands straight with as little movement as she could because she didn't want to scare him. The niffler grabbed the key and ran inside again.

Alice stayed there for some time. She had heard that cute nifflers here get happy at the sight of gems and then bring gifts, but this one didn't bring any. Maybe only half part of the story is correct.

She had almost lost the hope of him returning and got up on her feet when she heard the voice. She noticed that he was back with something in his hand. Alice bent down again to his level to take it. She was amazed to see a silver key.

"Thank you," she said, but he was already far gone to listen. It was a sweet little experience, and she wanted more.

She searched within her jacket's pocket to find another gem. Still sitting on her knee, she held the gem, keeping her hand near the ground level. So, another could come and grab it. The next thing was to wait for anyone to come.
