In Rainy Season the Haze Goes Away
I was walking to school that morning when I met my schoolmates
“School is cancelled today because of the haze” they said
So I did not go to school
I went back home
At home only my brother and uncle were there
as my mom and my grandma had already left for the field.
Then I washed the dishes that we used for breakfast that morning in the river.
After finishing the dishes I played at my friend’s house
The haze was still thick because it was still morning
In the afternoon, I went to the river to take a bath
Not the usual river that is close to my house
I had to go upstream to take a bath
as the water in the usual river was bad and smelly because there had been no rain for quite some time
Maybe there had been no rain for more than a month
The next day school was still off
I played with my dolls at home
School was off for three days
I remember that the haze became thicker
I was sick and went to see the doctor
The doctor said that I got cold because of the haze
When I came back home from the doctor I saw a car that had almost fallen into the river
because the driver had not seen the road because of the haze
Fortunately another car towed the car out
Last year’s dry season was very long
so the haze did not go away from our village
