My brother, Madiba,
was always a loner.

:00:37
His job was to sell tripe
in the market

:00:39
every day, after school.
:00:41
When he was not
selling tripe,

:00:43
he would lie
on his back in solitude

:00:46
and stare at the clouds
for hours and hours.

:00:49
Sometimes he would
just lie there

:00:51
and watch the way the wind
blew a piece of paper.

:00:55
One day as he was roaming around looking
for things to stare at

:00:58
he saw this boat
on the riverbank.

:01:00
There was a boy in it,
very sick and weak from hunger.

:01:04
His name was Sipho,
and he had no parents.

:01:07
Madiba gave him food to eat
:01:09
and a blanket
that kept him warm.

:01:12
Since that day,
:01:13
Madiba and Sipho became
very, very close friends.

:01:48
Shit!
:01:50
Is he dead?
:01:51
Hey, man, he's saying
hello to God.

:01:57
Gimme that.
