Maisie was very enthusiastic and in a hurry. She found a fallen star, but didn’t know what it was. And Pip explained what it was. So they help each other. After all, if Maisie had gone alone, she would not have known that she had seen a star. And if it wasn’t for Maisie, Pip would have stayed at home.
They have different personalities. Pip is cautious and observant, while Maisie is a hustler. But she is brave. I like Pip better, but I look like Maisie. This is because I am also in a hurry to go somewhere often. When I’m bored, I dream of adventure. For example, in some castle with princesses or dragons…
