'VILLAGE PEOPLE'

EXTRACT I

[The young girl's thoughts in Summer sun.]

She has to think about how she will feed the baby, clothe it, and wash it.
My sister's baby is lovely, though. He laughs a lot for no reason at all.
My geography book makes me wonder and wonder. It tells me that water is formed by hydrogen and oxygen. I wonder so much about that. If we had green things everywhere, they might help to make the oxygen to make it rain. The soil is very fertile. If there is a rain, green things come out everywhere, and many strange flowers. How can we live like this? Here are our bags with the seeds of maize and millet, and the land is hard as stone.

Tomorrow the sun will rise, quietly. The many birds in the bush will welcome it. I do not, alone, although the help of rain is cruel, killing and killing. All day long we look on it, like death. Then, at evening, all is as gentle as we are. Mother roasts goat meat over the coals of the wood fire. Sister feeds her baby. Grandfather and cousin Lebenah talk quietly to each other about little things. The stars spread across the sky and bend down at the horizon. The quiet talk of grandfather and cousin Lebenah seem to make earth and heaven come together.
