Counting the Herd
“How many do you think there are?” Roger asked.
Mang Tino shrugged.
“Fifty… maybe sixty.”
Roger’s eyes widened.
“Sixty?”
“Maybe more. Piglets are born every year.”
Roger stood silently, thinking.
Pork prices had risen sharply in recent years.
Even a small herd could be valuable.
But this wasn’t just money.
It was something else.
A second chance.
A Decision to Return
“Mang Tino,” Roger said.
“Yes?”
“Is the land still available?”
The old man chuckled.
“It was always yours—as long as you pay the rent.”
Roger smiled.
“Then I’m coming back.”
Mang Tino raised an eyebrow.
“You mean… starting over?”
Roger nodded.
“This time, I won’t give up.”
