Children’s Stories
Fon asks her grandmother:
- “ What happens when a family can’t sell all their garlands and doesn’t have enough money to buy flowers for the next day? ”
- “ Then, we have to borrow money from our neighbors. This is how we support each other here. ”
During the rainy season, Fon’s grand- mother worries. On rainy days it is often past midnight before she and Fon are able to sell their last few flower garlands. After days like that, it is difficult to wake up early enough the next morning to go to school! Missing school makes Fon want to cry away the rain!
