Tuan was desolate. His mother could see that his heart was as low and dry as the dirt under their feet.
"What is wrong, young one?" she inquired.
Tuan sighed. He was not sure how to answer. She had cried for nearly a month after his father died. Somehow now though she seemed ready to move ahead -- why was he so different? He couldn't find the words to answer, but he had to try.
"Nothing is the same without Papa," he said.
"Ah, I might have guessed," she replied, looking thoughtful. "Maybe we need to go into the village today. Your Uncle Win needs some time away from his work."
At first, Tuan felt lighter after his mother suggested this distraction. He went to wash his face and find his sandals. Then he realized that she was scheming a plan. Tuan sat down and looked up at her.
"Uncle Win is not Papa," he spoke slowly. "He is a strong man but he cannot bring back Papa."
"Why, of course not, Tuan," his mother said. "Uncle Win is just overdue for a visit from his favorite nephew!"
