With a birthday usually comes a party, as well as a cake, presents and wishes from friends. But beyond these, what does a birthday 96 mean
One year, I spent my birthday alone in a completely new place. Calls and messages poured in as usual. 97 , I was uncertain what to do. I had nowhere to go, nor did I know anyone with whom I could go out and share the 98 of the event.

“Let’s bottle nuts when you finish reading,” she said in Esan.
Jatto shook his head. He had so much homework to do. “I’ll never finish reading.”
Jatto said “never” in English because there was no word for never in Esan.
“What’s ‘never’ ” she asked.
Jatto cleared his throat to 202 the English word. “It means I won’t stop reading today, tomorrow, or 203 .” He drew circles in the air. “Nor the day after the day after tomorrow, the day after the day after, the day after …”
“Oh, OK! That’s forever,” his mother said.
Jatto stared at the nuts. Each one looked delicious.
Now would be a 204 time to eat some. But he couldn’t ask. He remembered the 205 he’d drawn in the air.

Jatto nodded. He’d learned about that in school.
She decided to tell him a story and handed him some nuts and milk. “You can eat 210 I talk.”
He ate as she started. Soon, Jatto was singing the story with his mother.
“You never tell me stories,” he said when they stopped 211 .
She sighed. “I used to, but when you started school, I wanted you to focus on English.”
“I make a lot of mistakes when I read to you,” Jatto said.
His mother 212 . “I guessed so. But I like hearing the sound of your voice while I work.”
Jatto knew what she meant. He had enjoyed listening to her story as he bottled the nuts. It made the work seem 213 . “I have an idea,” he said. “Next time, I will read a story to you in English, then I will tell you the same story in Esan. We can even make up songs together.”
“Great! And I will tell you stories in Esan and you can say them back to me in English. Let’s ‘never’ stop 214 stories.”
Jatto smiled. His mother’s understanding of never was even better than his own.
