Suddenly the sun came up out of the sea.
The sun was bright that Kino covered smell the cornakes cooking too.
A thin frightened dog came up and lay down next to Kino.
The morning was beautiful like every other morning.
Kino Heard Juana take Coyotito out of his hangging box.
Juana washed the baby and pulled her shawl round him.
She held Coyotito close and fed him.
Kino could hear these things without looking at them.
Juana was singing an old song.
She sang the song in many different ways.
The song conforted Kino
The song comforted Coyotito too.
There was a wooden fence around Kino house.
On the other side of the fence there were some more houses.
Smoke came from these house and Kino could hear people having breakfast.
But these sounds were not like the sounds in Kino house.
His neigbours wives were not like Juana.
The morning air was not so cold now and Kino pulled the blanket from his face,
Kino was Young and strong.
His black hair hung down over his Brown forehead.
He had hard bright eyes and a thin strong moustache.
Yellow sunlight fell on the house.
Near the wooden fence two cookelers started to fight,
Kino watched some birds flying towards the hills,
The world was awake now.
Kino got up and went into his Little wooden house,
Juana was sitting near the fire. She got up as Kino came through the door.
Juana put Coyotito back into his hanging box
Then she combed her black hair and tied it back with thin Green ribbon.
Kino sat by the fire and ate a hot cornake.
He only had corncakes and milk for breakfast.
When Kino had finished eating Juana came back to the fire.
She ate her breakfast too.
Kino and Juana were both happy.
There was no need to talk.
The sun was warming the Little house. The light shone through the holes in the walls.
The light shone on Coyotito.
Coyotito was in his hanging box,
Something moved on one of the ropes,
Kino and Juana stood quite still and looked.
A scorpion was coming slowly down the rope and his tail was straight out behind.
