Two girls, aged 3 and 5 respectively, stand beside one another.

They watch a wagon disappear over a hill. Chained to
the back of a wagon is a man. He refuses to look at the girls.

The older girl is suspended in grief. She wails with her head hung back.

The younger girl looks down at her toy.
It strikes her that something is missing.

The man makes the mistake of taking a last look--

--at the girl running towards him. She waves the toy in
the air, falls over herself, scrapes her knees. Worst of all, she's smiling.

The man could cry.

But he doesn't.

Clumsily, he LEAPS from the wagon!

His chain yanks him back--

His chain yanks him back and he nearly gets flattened.

He rolls on the wagon's outer side so that
he can pull his wrists against the grain;
His chain SNAPS between him and the back wheel.

He can't believe that actually worked!

The girl and the man mirror the other's childish glee...

...to such an extent...

...that by the time they embrace...

...both are laughing hysterically.

The girl, aware that the missing piece of her toy is
with the man, hands it to him in a practiced motion..

He rejoins a now wholly winged figurine.

The man gently draws his wrist back and sends the toy skyward.

The girl watches in wonder as it maintains flight
for the longest five seconds she'll ever know.

She catches it as it falls.

When the girl turns around, her father's limp body
is being thrown onto the wagon by two white men.

???: Damn it, damn it, damn it, I just bought the thing!
