“Dit is 03h00 op ‘n Sondag-oggend. ‘n Bruin teenage laitie ontsnap skrikkerig uit ‘n droom uit. Die val van die reën op sy gesig laat hom vlugtig op spring.
Die jongman maak sy ma en pa wakker wat langs hom slaap in die een kooi. “Die Here het weer reën gestuur!” Vir sommige is reën ‘n blessing, vir ander ‘n curse, dink die man vir homself.
Dit voel asof dit katte en honde reën, want jô, die gat in die een hoekie van die hok skeer oop en laat die water daaruit vloei soos ‘n waterfall. Kooi nat.Kitchen onder water. Harte netso nat en seer.”
