WHAT ABOUT SATURDAY?

It’s a quiet life here in the capital village,
at least compared to bigger villages—or even
small cities. But things still somewhat follow
a schedule every day. Still, it depends on
who you’re talking to.
Monday through Friday
are usually work and school days.
Sunday is loosely reserved
for the Lord. So you ask, “What about Saturday?”
And someone says, “Oh, no—
Saturday is set aside for funerals.”
There are lots of them here.
