Number 17 was the first to arrive at the rendezvous point.
No. 17: "I give up; I truly can't tell which is a grass and which is the herb that you are looking for."
Alan: "It is okay; at least you tried."
No. 17: "So did you find it?"
No. 9: "Yes"
No. 17: "That's good because I doubt the rest of us will have any better luck than mine."
Alan: "Here it is."
No. 17: "Let me see. It just looks like the grass growing beside the road. I can't tell the difference."
Alan: "You just take time and get familiar with the herbs, then the experience plays its role."
The three of them waited for the others to come, and it did not take long for the next one to arrive.
Number 18 came with a huge smile on her face. It was clear that the result of her search was fruitful.
No. 18: "You guys are early; I take it you found the grass."
No. 17: "I didn't, but 33 and 9 did. Your face will break from smiling, so I guess that you found something."
No. 18: "I did so; here, take a look."
