This morning I wasawakened by the rumble of thunder.

The sky was frightfully dark and distant flashes of lightning heralded the approaching onslaught.

A fine rain began to fall.

Sister Spider told us that departure time was approaching.

I won't be with my parents, as they'll be traveling with the Parrot clan, while I'll be going with Chosposi and her parents in her clan's reed, the Blue Flute, as is the custom of our People.

The clan elders divided up the families in the reed. This took several hours.

Finally, the momentarrived. The separation from my parents was very sad. I hugged my mother for along time. We cried a lot, because no one can say whether we'll see each otheragain.
