1 Beginning

A door opens ups and a young women in her mid 30's walks thru the door and walks over to the bed before her and puts her hand on the person who is laying on the bed in front of her and starts to waking up the person in front of her, but as she is trying to wake the person, the young boy in front of her.

He just pulls the blankets over his head and tells her that ("it is too early"). She then angrily pulls the blankets off of him and tells him to take the bucket and go and get her the water so she can wash him and also begin with her chores before she can make food, when his father comes back from the field.

He then stands up and climbs out of the bed he was laying in groaning and moaning as he is seeing his mother in front of him. She then points to the kitchen and tells him that he should take the bucket and that he should go to the river and collect water.

The young boy then goes into the kitchen and picks the bucket up and takes the bucket with him as he is exiting the small house and then begins to walk to the river that is behind the forest.

As the young boy starts walking to the forest, he sees a few other young kids in front of him and starts running towards him as they are entering the forest road.

The young boy runs up to them and says ("BOO") to scare them, the group of young kids scream and start running as two of them turn around and see that it is only the young boy making a joke. The two tells the other three that it was only the young boy and after they all start running towards him and tries to attack him out of angry, the young boy sees this starts running back to where he came from and tells them that it was only a joke, but the group of young ladies want to hear none of his excuses and just want to beat him up.

After a few minutes of chasing him the young ladies and the young boy decides that to make up for scaring them, he has to also carry their buckets. The group of young ladies and the young boy then go back to their mission at hand to go to the river and to collect some water for their families waiting for them at the village. After a few minutes off walking on the forest road, they finally get to the river and all the young ladies give all their buckets to him and tell him that he should ("fill their buckets up quickly, they will wait for him over there"), pointing to the edge of the river.

He then takes there buckets and his own and starts filling them up, after he is done filling up the buckets, he takes them to the edge of the river and tells the young ladies that he can carry all of there buckets, but only if they carry the buckets half way, the young ladies starts talking among themselves and decides that they are going to accept his deal. Everyone takes their own buckets and starts moving back to the forest so that they can get back on to the forest road and back to their village. After a few minutes of walking, the young boy comes out of the forest, with the young ladies behind him, with all of these buckets on his arm straight out with him walking very carefully so that he does not fall and waist the water.

As he gets closer to their houses, the young ladies take their buckets back and tell him ("thank you for carrying our buckets'') and run back to their houses. The last one who took her bucket back, kisses him on his left cheek and tells him thanks, the young boy's face starts turning red after she kisses him. The young lady who kissed him runs towards her house, but the young boy who is now in shock tells her not to do that again, but Jane tells him that she will kiss him again, because he promised to always be by her side. The young boy then runs back to his house and gives his mother the bucket full of water who is in the bathroom busy getting his things ready for him she then sees his face and ask him ("why his face is so red?") and then she takes a closer look at his face and ask ("if he is getting a cold?''). He then responded with ("No mother I am okay"). She then tells him that he will have to wait for her to make a fire and to warm the water up on the fire as she is busy putting the pot full of water on the fire.

She then tells him to go into the kitchen and help his father, because he brought some vegetables back from the fields. He then goes to the kitchen where his father is cleaning the vegetables and then chopping them up into.

The young boy comes in runin to his father and hugs his legs and tells him ("Morning Dad'') his father stop with what he was doing and puts his hand on his son head and tells him ("Morning Son") and picks him up and puts his son in his arm and hugs him and after they are done hugging each other and then tells his son to take a slice of vegetable and to eat it before his mother comes in and as he is busy eating the slice, at that moment his mother comes in and tells him to come so that she can wash him and as she is talking she sees him eating the slices again and tell her husband that he should stop giving him food, before the breakfast. His father lets go of him and puts him down and tells him to go with his mom. His father then tells his mother that ("they need to talk about something"), after he is done with cleaning and chopping the vegetables into slices, he is going to come to her and talk about something which is bothering him.

The wife then responds with ("if it is important then i can wait to wash our son"), but her husband tells her that ("it is not that big of a news") and he can finish up here and then i will come to the bathroom and talk to you about what we have seen.
