| Felicita was a goddaughter. Her home
village lies on a little platform in the Kilungu Hills, where the
people earn their living working hard on terraces. Behind a little
hut they grow some cabbages.
When the rain seasons fail to come, the people have to carry the necessary water from the deep valley early in the morning. Felicita lives with her mother, sisters and brothers in a
mud-wall hut with a thatched roof. Half of the hut serves as a
cooking place with one corner for a little store. But this is empty
very often. The other half is the sleeping place for mother and
children. |
