- Micah holds baby Sadima as his dad tells him to go do some chores. Micah's supposed to leave Sadima in the house, but he takes her to the barn so that she doesn't cry.
- He leaves her in a horse's empty feedbox while he does a bunch of chores, then he brings the goat's milk into the house.
- When he gets back to the barn, there's a rat on Sadima's shoulder, with its snout right next to her face.
- Micah freezes and worries that it'll bite her, or scratch out her eyes. Why's it acting like that, anyway? It must be sick or something.
- The rat jumps down, and Micah kills it. Sadima begins crying, and she keeps crying til Micah comforts her.
