| The river is down the hill from the road. There are trees between the river and the road. | ||
| When you are at the river, no one in Libros can see you. Only children come to the river. The path is bad. It is too difficult for the old people to walk on. | ||
| The boy comes to the little path that climbs up the hill to the road. He is near his grandparents’ house now. He smells food. | ||
| What’s that? Arturo hears loud voices up on the road, louder than the insects. Who is it? He stops. He listens. | ||
| One of the voices is Grandad. Perhaps Mr Jiménez knows about me and the orchard? | ||
| ‘We want to talk to the boy. We need to do some tests.’ | ||
| That voice is not Mr Jiménez, Arturo thinks. | ||
| ‘Why do you need to test Arturo?’ That is Grandad’s voice. ‘If Arturo is sick, we will take him to his doctor!’ | ||
| ‘It will be easier if you let us do it!’ | ||
| Easier? Easier for what? Arturo wants to know. | ||
