Amor de Mãe

“Amor de Mãe” is a little story written by Maria Lucília Tiago Tome about her a mother and her 3 siblings. It talks about an episode that happened while the mother, a small town farmer, into the fields to collect some firewood. While the kids were playing and throwing rocks into a well, she collected wood. Upon hearing what it sounded like a kid jumping into the well, she, without thinking, jumped into the well to “save her child”. The story ends with the kids looking down into the well, wondering why their mother was in there.
