“What lies beyond the setting sun?” asked Ekundayo.
“What lies there I do not know, but one day
I would like to go,” sang Momma.
Ekundayo settled down to sleep with her trunk wrapped tight around him.

Momma does not wake up. The waterhole has dried up and there has not been enough to drink. Ekundayo struggles to understand the loss of his mother, but the support of his family
help and guide him through.
