The People - Part Five

     The five restless characters swung along the pipes a ways until they came to a room with filing cabinets in it.  They looked inside the filing cabinets until one of the twins found a sheaf of papers referring to the five of them.
    
     "It says we like canoes and we're good at exploring," she said.
     "No wonder we were so restless," marvelled the other.

     They set out to look for a canoe.  After making their way down a series of hallways, they entered a brightly lit gymnasium with a stage at one end.  Under the stage were five cupboard doors, which they began opening to look for a canoe.

     Out of the first cupboard fell lots of things - including directions in Latin for founding a medieval university, and a leather box with precious stones in the top.  Magilllaquiso liked the box so he took it to keep the sheaf of papers in.  Out of the second cupboard door fell a violin, a costume wardrobe and house plans for building a castle.  Mamquiso took the violin and they all put on bear costumes.  Mags as we shall call him for brevity, took the castle plans and placed them in his box.  When they opened the third cupboard, only a laugh came out of the darkness.  Mamquiso decided that whatever was making the laugh was friendly and crawled inside and found a laughing fish.  Mags put it in the box with the papers.
