1:24:01
I started for that barrel...
1:24:04
and I opened up the towel
'cause there was a noise...
1:24:08
and something moving around in it.
1:24:12
That towel was all bloody-like
all around it there.
1:24:20
It was a little old baby,
not no bigger than a squirrel.
1:24:25
It was alive?
1:24:27
Yes, sir.
Right then it was.
1:24:31
A boy or girl?
1:24:34
It was a little old boy.
1:24:38
You threw it in the trash barrel?
1:24:41
That didn't seem right to me.
1:24:44
So I went into the shed
and got a shoe box...
1:24:46
and emptied out the screwdrivers,
washers and nuts...
1:24:49
and things out of it.
1:24:52
I taken the little feller
and put him in the box...
1:24:55
buried him in the corner of the yard.
1:24:58
That seemed more proper to me,
I reckon.
1:25:02
It was still alive when you buried it?
1:25:06
I heard it crying a little
through that box.
1:25:13
That don't seem right. It seems like
you would have took care of him...
1:25:17
if he was your brother.
1:25:19
I wasn't but six or eight.
1:25:21
I reckon I didn't know
what to do.
1:25:25
I didn't know how to care
for no baby.
1:25:28
My mother and father didn't want him.
1:25:32
They learned me to do
what they told me to do.
1:25:36
I figure it probably best we give him
right back to the good Lord...
1:25:39
right off the bat anyhow.
1:25:42
That makes me feel real sad.
1:25:46
Couldn't you have done something?
1:25:48
I would have.
I wish I'd had him.
1:25:51
He'd still be right here, now.
Living.
1:25:56
It makes me sad too.
1:25:59
I wish there was something
I could have did about it.
