“A week passes by. Chuol’s big brother welcomes his boys to their mothers. It begins to rain, but the rain is not fulfilling the expectation of the farmers. During the spring season, those of Mr. Malual get really busy. The seventy-eight-year-old gets up before the appearance of the first star. But there is more about this old man that makes men look up to him.”
