In the evenings, Sachiko’s family gathers together.

                                Mother places Grandmother’s bowl in the middle of the low table.

                                As always, the bowl offers good things to eat—

                                squid, eel, octopus, and udon noodles.

                                Sachiko and her family press their hands together

                                and bow their heads.

                                Itadakimasu, they whisper.
