"Jonas! Come back here!" A woman ran after a four-year-old boy. She grabbed him right before he stepped out of the way onto the riverbed. He would've fallen into the water otherwise. She lifted him into her arms and started swaying him. She returned to a hut near the foot of a mountain. Jonas sat on the window and looked down on the river. He liked the river. But the river next to their hut was a large and fast one, he wasn't allowed to swim there. Inside the hut the woman, his mother, was next to a stove. She was reaching deep inside and pulling out dusk. The door opened and a man stepped in. "I'm back", he announced in a cheerful voice. The young toddler ran up to the man and fell into his arms, "Papa!" The man lifted him high up in the air and spun around. The mother started laughing and joined in. The three were dancing together inside the tiny hut.
