Mystery

Some days when we get up, there are mysterious rings of ash circling our huts. Our fellow PCT tried to ask one of the kids about it, but all she got was a blank look, then a handful of ashes. Then the kid swept them away.
I was convinced it was some sort of witchcraft. But Ba Charles explained at language class that the ashes keep ants away from the house.
Anyway, he said, everybody knows witchcraft doesn't work on white people.
