The Young Auntie
A windy cool-season morning in Thonburi in January, Mali in the carrier without a hat: son, where's the little one's hat; good morning, auntie, it's warm today; the wind is strong, she'll catch cold; you're right, it's in the bag; in the bag? put it on her head; right away, madam; madam is for the bank, young auntie, not old auntie; yes, auntie, thanks for the warning: what a stranger calls you and what you call her by age, and taking advice.
