About

This short piece sets a text which appears to relate to South Africa in time of apartheid. There are references to the 'veldt' and a clear distinction between the life expectation of whites and blacks. The story is a simple one, a small black baby is found by passing white people, taken home and grows up amongst his adoptive people. The moral of the story is that '...things go deeper than white or black'.
