Chapter 126: Santino’s Survival School Part 1
“Let’s go, mommy, let’s go,” Olivia said, tugging on Serena’s arm. Oliver and Santino were already walking ahead, and Olivia was impatient to catch up. “We’re going,” Serena said with a chuckle.
“We are falling behind!” Olivia said with a dramatic wail.
“You can go and catch up,” Serena said. She pushed Olivia forward. Olivia ran off to catch up with her twin and uncle.
Santino had dropped by at their house for a visit. He said he had a special game planned for the kids. Serena couldn’t say no. She wanted to see what it was that Santino had planned, and she wanted the kids to have the chance to get out and play in the woods.

Practice opening and closing them.” While the twins played with their knives, Santino stood beside Serena again. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a full-sized pocket knife for her. Serena recognized it
her knife. “Good,” Santino said. “Now, the first thing you need to do if you are in a survival situation is to make fire. It will come in handy for a lot of things like warmth, cooking, sending up smoke signals.” “Fire?” Serena asked. “Santino, your definition of
age,” he reminded her. Serena sighed, but she nodded. “Okay, these are special knives with special blades,” Santino said. “I can show you how to make fire in two different ways, one with your knives.” “That’s
