Chapter 9
Dawans anger
leaves her and she
begins to wonder
again if she hould
give up and let Kwai
have his way.

Bao spots Dawan.

She takes her to her
stall and comforts
her. She encourages
Dawan not to give in
to Kwai but to
pursue her ideals.

Baos brother
appears and Bao
panics because
Dawan does not
have the money for
the freed bird. She
tells her friend to run
away.

To show Dawan
what she means,
Bao makes Dawan
open the door of the
bird cage and set
one of the birds
free. She tells
Dawan to be like the
tiny sparrow and fly
away free.

From a distance,
Dawan sees Vichai
question Bao about
the bird she freed
without collecting
money for it.

Bao gets angry and

threatens to free all
the birds one day.
Vichai slaps his
sister.

Dawan runs forward

to help her friend,
but then Kwai
appears and stops
Vichai.

Bao then opens the

cage doors and
releases some of the
birds causing Vichai
to hit her again.

In the scuffle, one of

the birds is crushed.
Bao is heartbroken.

When Bao realises

who Kwai is, she
scolds him for being
a bully and a bad
brother to his own
sister.

Dawan screams at
her brother,
accusing him of
being a bully and
trying to take away
her chance to
continue her studies.

Kwai gets upset and

almost strikes Bao.
Dawan stops him
but the pushes her
aside causing her to
fall on top of the
broken cages. A
piece of wood cuts
her ankle. Kwai tries
to wipe away the
blood.

Noi appears and

calmly takes charge.
She cleans Dawans
wound and hears
what happened from
Bao.

Noi advises Dawan

not to get in the way
of boys and men or
she might get hurt
like what has just
happened.

It starts to rain and

everyone leaves the
market.

Chapter 10
Not wishing to be
questioned about
her cut ankle or to
meet Kwai so soon,
Dawan goes to the
river.

The two siblings

make up and talk
seriously.

Kwai is sitting on the

old bridge. Dawan
wants to avoid him
at first but thinks
better of it. She does
not want their
relationship to
worsen.

Kwai asks if her

ankle hurts and
Dawan realises that
he isashamed of his
actions in the
market.

The rain gets

heavier.

Kwai is moved by
her kind and selfless
actions. Watching his
sister limping along
and getting all wet,
Kwai comes to a
decision.

Kwai wants to think

carefully in the
storm of what
decision to make
whether to take the
scholarship for
himself.
Dawan leaves Kwai
to work out his
feelings. She gives
him her umbrella
and heads home in
the storm despite
him hurting her
badly earlier.
