And now the woman was old.
:01:06
And she had a daughter who
grew up speaking only...

:01:09
English and swallowing
more Coca-Cola than sorrow.

:01:13
- What's "sorrow"?
- Sadness.

:01:17
For a long time now, the woman
wanted to give her daughter...

:01:20
the single swan feather
and tell her--

:01:23
Is the swan real?
Is there really a swan?

:01:28
I don't know, baby.
It's my mama's story..

:01:32
And we can't ask her
'cause she's dead.

:01:46
And the woman would
tell her daughter...

:01:49
"This feather
may look worthless...

:01:51
but it comes from afar and carries with it
all my good intentions."

:01:56
- What's "intentions"?
- Oh, a good intention means...

:02:00
- everything your mommy wants for you.
- Oh.

:02:04
Like blowing out candles
on your birthday cake.

:02:21
- Like it?
- It's great.

:02:24
It's gonna be great for June..
:02:27
I bet the twins
are in China right now...

:02:29
dreaming about
their little American sister.

:02:33
Yes, but their mother...h
:02:35
that's who they waited for
all these years.

:02:39
- They will be so sad.
- They already know.

:02:42
Auntie Lindo wrote them.
:02:52
As a little girl,
I wondered every day.

:02:58
Worst of all,
I had to wonder in secret.
