I Found It Weeping in the Field




What do you have now?


I found it weeping in the field

What, an abandoned baby? A whinging pup?

No

By the Hundred, what IS that?

I found it weeping in the field

Get it OUT of here! Alber, put it back!

It doesn't belong there

Nor does it belong here! Get it out of this house! Put it back in the field - it can starve, for all I care!

I found it weeping


I WON'T- ...Alber, what?

It got heavier


Alber, are you okay? Your eyes...

I need to keep it, Meri We need to keep it

...Why? Why must we?

It needs us It needs to grow big and strong

But...

You know we haven't been able to have a child Now we can have a child

A child

Yes

We can

Yes Big and strong

Yes
