Stories:
Nattachai "Boy" Taisamoot, 6 years
THE SIXTH SENSE : His mother is on her deathbed, sent home from the
hospital in the last stage of AIDS. His father is mentally ill and has usually
disappeared into the woods. He is not capable of caring for Boy. Boy’s mother sent him to the School for Life. At night, says Boy, she sends him
her sixth sense. Then he cries, packs his things together, waits for dawn
and wants to walk to the village to his mother. We accompany him. His
mother dies slowly. She speaks gently to Boy and tells him why he will
have a good life in the School for Life. Boy says, he doesn’t need the
school. He still has 21 Bath in his pocket, and his mother still has 60 Bath.
They can live on that. Boy mourns. Everyone on the farm is nice to him.
They hug him when he cries, which is often for hours at a time.
