#398 Children of the Sun
Even tough kids gets sad at the dying of a dog. Jubal,
Nathan, Hoodoo, and Lance take Nathan’s dog into the woods to bury him. They
are silent and reflective. At times they almost fall into their normal jovial,
juvenile behavior, but are struck at the seriousness of the situation.
“As…we stood there trying to pretend we were grownups having
a very proper funeral, something…caught us and halted us, drained us of all the
horseplay and laughing and made us look at what we were really doing. How
could a group of kids know about the
terror and pain of dying…and yet we did know, we did sense something.”
