We met him near the stream at the Living Root Bridge near the Riwai Village. His mother was busy netting fish in the stream and had left this tiny fellow to his own devices on the rocks in the stream. He was bored but patient, intrigued by Sai and his camera but not curious enough to make a move.
His mom was busy .... knew that her 1 year old would be responsible enough. He was. He didnt even want us to entertain him in any way.
I was amazed at the mom and the son. The patience, confidence and attitude was amazing.
The child did cry out though after a good half an hour of wait .... and the mom did come back then. Basket full of fish and mussels. Beckoned the son to start climbing with her and went on their way back to the village.
Lessons to be learned. The patience, the confidence and the attitude .....
