The narrator tells us that he was so afraid when he was a child that he ran away from home. He tells us he cried for a long time, and then he turned into the form of a child. He explains that he does not have a family, and that his mother passed away last year. He says he will start collecting fruit starting tomorrow, and he tells her to go home. She says she will make a warm lunch, and she tells him to squeeze her hand. She tells him she will not do anything that will hurt her, because she does not want to hurt anyone.
