Setting the light down on the ground in front of it, she called to my dogs.
While they were eating, Mama did something I couldn’t understand. She knelt down on her knees in prayer.
After they had eaten their food, Mama started petting them. I could hear her voice but couldn’t make out her words.
Whatever she was saying must have pleased them. Little Ann wiggled and twisted.

I saw him put his arm around Mama. Side by side they stood for several minutes looking at my dogs.
When they turned to enter the house, I saw Mama dab at her eyes with her apron.

Why had Mama knelt in prayer in front of my dogs? Why had she wept?
I was running all the why’s around in my mind when I heard them talking.
