She was swimming, treading water and couldn’t see her brother, she turned and saw her brother floating in the water facedown. She dragged him out of the water and pulled them on the riverbank and she screamed and shook him, but he was dead. A slave, a man who worked on a fishing boat pushes her out of the way and started pushing on her brother’s chest again and again until her brother spat out half the water and was alive.
