THE STORY

Daniel went to bed at nine on Sunday. A storm wakes him at two on Monday. At five, Grandma Nena agrees that the friends should wait before helping outside. At half past five they talk over coffee, and later that morning they help with the chickens. The electricity remains off, leaving the evening's porch conversation for the next lesson.
