Cry the Beloved Country #5

At the end of chapter 31, a little boy comes to visit Stephen. This little boy is Arthur Jarvis' son who is visiting his grandparents because his father has been killed. This little boy is educated in Zulu, as well as English, and learns quickly of the native's troubles with drought and decided to help complete strangers save their dying children. This kind of kindness seems to have been instilled in him by his late father, as was his knowledge of native languages and customs. Arthur made sure that his own children were educated in the ways of traditional South Africa, like greeting and ways of life, to make up for his lack of education in that area when he was a child. This education and kindness makes a great impression on Stephen and helps to mend some of his fears and hurts about the Jarvis family pertaining to the murder as well as how to help the people of his village who have dying children because they don't have anything for them to drink. I think that as this final book goes on, the relationship between the kind little boy and Stephen will grow and greatly help the village.
