Once, I was also still little, my mother said, "I'm going downhill, to Katimin. When the school has let out, you'll go there (to Katimin)." And when it had let out, then I went upriver. And I met him, an old man, two donkeys were pulling a wagon. And he told me, "Stand right here, right here by the two donkeys." And I was scared, they were looking at me. I stood a little way off. And after a long time, one day the picture arrived, it arrived from Riverside. I guess that's where the old man lived. |
