Daisy had always been a chatterbox, constantly talking to anyone and everyone about anything and everything. But even she was taken aback when she arrived in the far-flung village of Ringaling. There was a jubilant atmosphere in the air, despite the dearth of resources. It didn't take long for Daisy to understand why. It was the mischievous children of the village that kept the spirit alive. They were always up to something, finding ways to keep themselves entertained despite the scarcity of things to do. Daisy couldn't help but join in their fun. She quickly became a part of the village, filling the air with her laughter and chatter.
