Alesia headed over to gather the coconuts. Again, scurrying up the tree all squirrel-like. She first tried to pull them off, but found that to be more difficult than she had expected. Then, she tried twisting them. This worked because it loosened the husk holding them to the tree. Then she could pull them down, which still took a great effort. If it were not for her legs being wrapped around the tree, she would have fallen for sure.
