The pier in the flood, Uncle Chai tying the boats: when I was a boy, the water came into the house; was the pier here then; when the water rose, my father was tying the boats; and then what; we were sleeping, and a boat hit the house; did the house break; the house didn't, the boat did, my father built it again; tie the rope, I'm holding the boat: was doing when, the scene against the events.
