Salva was in great pain, and was a big difficulty during his journey across the Akobo Desert.
"Thorns gored my feet. My lips became cracked and parched." (52-53)
Salva is describing a part of his journey, where he and his friend, Buksa, find food for the first time in a while.
"I hurried off to call the rest of the group. I have heard of this, that the Jur-chol could follow the call of the bird called the honeyguide! But I had never seen it done before. Honey! This night, we would feast!" (p.25)
1. Buksa: Yes, there it is again. Come! 3. Buksa: Yes! Now go call the others! 5. Buksa: The bird. The one I was listening to. He led me right here. You see that? Beehive . A fine, large one.
2. Salva: What. 4. Salva: But what shall I tell them?
