But if she found it . . .

XAVIER

She put something else there. Just for me. She died last year, you know. She put something in the hiding place for me before she died. I've been following her clues for a year. This is the last one.

KENNETH

Why didn't she just give it to you? Whatever it is?

XAVIER

She said I needed to learn persistence. I always gave up on things. So she hid her gift in the forest so I would learn to persevere.

KENNETH

Well, it doesn't look like you're going to get it, no matter what.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from Between the Silver and the Ash, we are introduced to a part of the conversation between two friends Kenneth and Xavier. The impression that we can get from it is that Xavier is a person who easily gets interested in something new, leaving the previous forsaken. Knowing that his grandma wanted her special gift to him not only be the gift itself but a valuable lesson about persistence too. So, she left him a lot of traces that need a fair amount of time to be followed on the path to finding the gift, and Xavier is aware of that and determined to go till the end this time.
