Ono and Rene |
 |
Ono is twelve years old.
He lives with his two brothers, his sister, and his mother in a small mud house that’s not very solid. Ono’s mom is always there to welcome him when he comes home in the morning from fishing. They all eat together before Ono’s mother and his little sister Janda go to sell fruit in the market.
“Here Ono, come eat. I made you manioc.”*
“It’s really yummy,” adds Janda.
*manioc: a plant whose roots are used to make flour.
