Chapter Summaries & Analyses
On the last night of the harvest season, the Kamaphibal throws a small festival for the rice farmers in Stung Khae. At the end of a long night of threshing, the families line up to receive rice flakes, a banana, and a cone of palm juice. Mama watches Radana while Raami gets shares for her and her sister. Then Mama instructs Raami to watch Radana and gets in line herself. While looking up at the clear sky, Raami remembers Papa and the stories he told about the moon. Suddenly, she feels an intense urge to be alone. With Pok and Mae sitting only a few feet from where Radana lies sleeping, Raami leaves her sister to find a place in the woods to lie down.
After a short nap, Raami wakes up and returns to the granary. She sees Mama frantically searching for Radana. Just then, Radana runs screaming from the haystacks as a swarm of mosquitoes attacks her.
