Chapter 26
Kiano said, “Come inside.”
They ran into his hut. “That rain came from nowhere!”
Hannah exclaimed. “It’s been sunny since I got here.”
“Do you think rain is much?” Wilkister asked.
“Uh, yeah,” Hannah insisted.
“You come back visit to April and May. That is rainy
season. This just little, light sprinkle,” she giggled.
Rainwater poured inside the glassless window near
the kitchen. Wilkister started to cough. “Are you feeling
all right?” Kiano asked.
“Yah, is good.”
Hannah did not believe her. She wished she could
go to their medicine cabinet and get something to help
Wilkister’s cough.
Medicine cabinet. There was no bathroom
for a medicine cabinet anyway.
Kiano’s hut looked exactly the same as Wilkister’s
except for an old fashioned radio sitting on the table.
“What a cool radio!” Hannah said.
Kiano smiled. “Is my new radio. I hear news and
songs on it.”
New radio? It looks ancient.
“How does it work without electricity?”
He cranked a lever on its side and they heard faint
static. He continued turning and Hannah heard music.
“Wait!” She listened closely. Putting her ear up to the
radio, the music got louder. “I know this song! Swing
Swing!”
