Weary and distraught, the women listen to…


Weary and distraught, the women listened to the storm as it raged around the houses. The wind screamed and howled. It drove suddenly against the doors with heavy blows. It tore at the straw ropes that anchored the thatched roofs to the ground. It rattled and shook the small windows. It sent the rain in narrow streams under the door, through the piled-up sacks, to form large puddles on the hard, stamped, earthen floors. […]
    Dawn broke, and the wind dropped for a while. The women wrapped their shawls tightly round them, knotted the ends behind them and tightened their head cloths. They slipped out through cautiously opened doors. They whipped their wide skirts so tightly to their bodies that it was hard to move. They muttered to themselves as they clambered over the rocks or waded through the pools down to the foaming sea.
