A young girl, around 11 years old, was walking fast without stopping. She seemed to be in a hurry. The sky was dark, and a big storm was coming because it was the rainy season. As she walked, she kept looking back, as if she was afraid of something.

I, Maman Shakur, couldn’t understand why she kept looking back. She continued moving quickly, but suddenly, heavy rain started falling like water being poured from a bowl. Before she realized it, she slipped and fell into a big river!

At that moment, a dark-skinned woman stood by the river, trying to help her…

But then—she woke up with a loud scream! It was just a dream. She was so scared that she kept crying. Her mother, who was praying on her mat, quickly rushed to her, held her, and recited prayers for her. The girl continued crying until she fell asleep again.

As she slept, her mother sat beside her, deep in thought, wondering about the life of her only daughter.
