My mother didn't make it to the city.
:21:02
She fainted by the road.
:21:04
Someone saw her
and got word to the mayor.
:21:08
The mayor and my uncle
brought her home on a cart.
:21:13
The mayor said that day
my mother's hands were like ice.
:21:19
She was wrapped in a heavy blanket
on the way home.
:21:22
But they couldn't get her hands warm.
:21:30
I don't think it's too serious.
:21:32
It's a bad chiII, but she is strong.
:21:39
Mayor, is the teacher coming back?
:21:45
I don't know the answer.
:21:48
He shouId have been back by now.
:21:53
Maybe someone can write to him.
:21:56
I don't know how to heIp her
if he doesn't come back.
:21:59
Even one gIimpse of him
wouId be good for her.
:22:14
''Spring is here.
