The village by the sea.

The village by the sea

Chapter 1:

The first chapter stands with Lila offering the sacred rock flowers so the fisherman return safely. Bela and Kamel are the only ones that go to school because Lila and Harry have to look after their family: looking after their mum, buying food, etc…                                                                         Hari wants to get a job, and his friend Ramu said that other people are going to come and make big factories and that they will get a job there. But Hari didn’t believe him that much. Hari and Lila knew that they would soon have to take Bela and Kamal out of school, because they would not be able to buy them school books and seeing that their parents can’t or won’t do anything to help them. 

Chapter 2:

Lila had to go to the market so that she could buy the food for her family. On Lila’s way home she stopped to watch Biju’s boat being built by the Alibagh workmen. Hari was spending more time with the village boys watching Biju’s boat in the progress of being built instead of going to catch the fish his family needs for food. Hari was less interested of working in the factories that he would rather work on Biju’s boat. Once Hari had spoken to one of the workmen that were working on the factories he decided that it would be better to work in the factories.

Chapter 3:

Lila found her mother worse than what she had been and realized that something was wrong it turns out that she had a very high fever. The younger girls ran to next door to ask their neighbor is she could help their mother instead she sent the magic man to help on getting the evil spirits away. That night while their mother was in bed and their father was out of the sons for next door who was a bit drunk was asking the girls were the money was but they replied ‘we don’t have any money’ which he thinks is a joke that they don’t have any money.
