Yoshio tried to eat a glass cup. He managed two mouthfuls and a couple of gritty chews before the fragments began to cut into his gums and cheek, the blood sliding down his chin. Akio took him, squalling like a cat, to the hospital, to wash out his mouth and stitch up the cuts.

“Why did you try eating it?” Toyo asked, her head in her hands.

Yoshio tongued the cuts in his tender mouth. “I wanted to know what it tasted like.” He did not tell her how, when he looked at the glass cup, shining in the light, it had caught the light in such a way, in the facets cut into the bottom of the glass, that he had turned it this way and that and the kaleidoscope of rainbows had entranced him, that he had wanted to taste the hundreds of tiny splintered colours. He suspected his mother would not understand and he would get into even more trouble.
