We had to lift her coffin high, waiting for the water to recede to bury her. For two nights the floodwaters rose high, we could not sleep, taking turns guarding the coffin for fear that the flood would sweep us away.” The brothers looked at each other in grief and prayed for the water to recede so that they could soon take their mother to her resting place.
