At dawn they returned home their soaky clothes torn and approached the stove their limbs marked by scratches their legs full of wounds but on their brows there was not a sign of despair
The whole day and night just passed they had to brave the horrendous flood in the water all the time between bloated carcasses and tiny chips of tree barks desperately looking for their son's albino buffalo that was never found
They were born admist hardship and grew up without a sigh or a complaint now they are in the kitchen, making jokes while rolling their cigarette leaves
