O caderno de chuvas

C1525語conto (literary short fiction)Interior of Goiás — a cattle farm in the cerrado at the end of the dry season, the day before its sale聞く・近日公開

Afonso returns to his late father's farm in the dry interior of Goiás only to sign the sale. Memories return: the father showing him the land on the eve of his departure, his own refusal, years of rare visits. Looking for the deed, he finds the notebook where his father recorded the rain for forty years — including the day Afonso was born and, later, every time «the boy called». That night the first rain falls; in the morning, before opening the gate to the buyer, Afonso writes the rainfall in the notebook.
