When my father went with the men, and my mother was with the women, and my older sister had gone off to get water with the Kuchi girls, it was my job to take care of my younger sisters and my brother. One of my sisters was happy with her own company. She would be next to me for hours, but I would hardly know she was there. She did not say much, did not complain about anything, and never cried to have something.

The next sister, though, cried for hours when she did not get what she wanted. She was afraid of no one, neither my mother nor my father. She would just cry stubbornly until somebody solved her problem. Then she became friendly and did not leave that person’s side.

My brother would be very quiet until he wanted to eat something sweet. Then he would live up to his nickname. Both of my parents loved him, because he had such soft cheeks. He never went far from my mother.
