remember the night my mother was stung by a scorpion. Ten hours of steady rain had driven

him to crawl beneath a sack of rice. Parting with his poison - flash of diabolic tail in the dark

room - he risked the rain again. The peasants came like swarms of flies and buzzed the name

of God a hundred times to paralyse the Evil One. With candles and with lanterns throwing giant

scorpion shadows on the mud-baked walls they searched for him: he was not found. They

clicked their tongues. With every movement that the scorpion made his poison moved in

Mother’s blood, they said. May he sit still, they said May the sins of your previous birth be

more insects, and the endless rain. My mother twisted through and through, groaning on a mat.

My father, sceptic, rationalist, trying every curse and blessing, powder, mixture, herb and hybrid.

He even poured a little paraffin upon the bitten toe and put a match to it. I watched the flame

feeding on my mother. I watched the holy man perform his rites to tame the poison with an

incantation. After twenty hours it lost its sting. My mother only said Thank God the scor
