The Kapok tree next door was hung with young green pods. The new leaves of the rubber trees rustled in the wind, while birds sang from nearby branches. The mango tree in our yard also had new leaves and was forming its blossoms. All this with no rain.
Meanwhile my landlord watered his rosebush, marigolds, bougainvelia, and miniature palm trees. I noticed the water I poured into the moat was not getting far into the garden, and began to water a wilting bush near the fence instead.
I moved the clothesline to a less shady spot, farther from where the trash was burned. I cleaned the house and studied. My landlord burned up the trash in the yard!
