Chapter 30
My daughter! She is here! I'm so happy! Now this is my fifth child! I have taught her all I can now, and so I hope her brothers, sisters, and nephew can teach her. And speaking of brothers, Kayak is having his celebration of 14! This is a great day for me.
As Chimba put her daughter down, everyone knew she had her father's looks. She had the same raven black hair, and if Molo let his hair down, it would probably be the same length. But, she inherited her mother's brains, and was sure to work as a scientist. They named her Raieta.
Later that day, Waiata let down her daughter as well. She did not inherit as much knowledge as Raieta, but still gathered some. She looked a lot like Matate, with the blue flowers and ribbons making her hair shoulder length. She was given a red dress with a pink and white ribbon in the middle. Her parents tried to come up with a name for her, and called her Mama.
On Mama's first step, she tripped and Ponui had to pick her up and run her to the healer's hut. From then on, Mama never wanted to run again. She was always it in tag, and always took longer when she was building sandcastles. But, when she took her tine, she learned a lot more than the other kids.
