Morning in the village: the family wakes hopeful after Zack's sudden clarity and their old goat begins producing milk. Sue mends good clothes to make shoes for Yolanda, who has just joined them and is treated as part of the family. With a milk surplus they decide to take it to town tomorrow to sell and buy medicine for Yale's leg problem. Today the father plans to work the fields and a strong child insists on helping, so they agree to go together. As they prepare to leave, someone shouts 'What are you doing?!', leaving their plan abruptly unsettled.
