Lien se Lankstaanskoene | Die traandruppel | English Summary

 

Lien se Lankstaanskoene by Derick van der Walt

Die traandruppel

Lien goes to watch her brother's cricket match in their newly sponsored lime green uniform. She is jealous of how her brother can laugh with his friends and act like his life is all good. Lien sees her brother needs new leg-guards for cricket and thinks about ways in which she can save up to buy him some. Dirkie and Donovon are also watching the match but end up cheering for the wrong team. When Lien is home, her mother talks about classical music and seems blissfully happy with her earphones and wine glass.
