The path of all mine also walks it.
Every day in the bicycle the drums and I go to the distance that separates me from the well.
On the way back everything becomes more difficult. Water weighs and I can't easily pedal.
In addition, there is the heat of the sun that does not cease to fall on me.
But I must do it and do it. They don't need to ask me. I do.
Nor is it good for me to remind me that, at that time, I should be in school learning to read and write.
Because I know I should.
Just as I know I should do many other things that I don't do.
Because I can't do them.
It does not matter. I have to continue moving back to the village.
Where mine expect the water that I bring you.
That is my homework now. And that is also my joy.
I am one of them. I take the water. We are together, mine and me.
