Jiejie's class is putting on a play. A 20-minute adaptation of our old favorite bedtime story "Tikki Tikki Tembo." Everyone is the first grade has a part. Jiejie, who hardly speaks above a whisper in class, is playing the mother of the little boy with a long name and a propensity for falling into wells. Jiejie has one line.
She's a little nervous. Well, a lot nervous. She wants very much for me to come and see her, and I managed to arrange it, but I had to promise not to take any photos or video.
"I wish I was playing the well," she said wistfully. "All she has to do is stand there and look pretty."
