Read this passage from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep.
During those trips alone among the demons, Father and
I learned things about one another, and more, we learned
about being a father and a son. Every trip was an
adventure into a strange, fearful city and yet I felt safe by
my father's side. Anyone who could laugh and tell stories
and jokes and sing while he was alone among the demons
must know what he was doing. In my own mind, Father
was the embodiment of Uncle's superior man
Only once during all those trips did we have any trouble.
Some demon boys were out in the street. They stooped as
if to pick up things to throw, and Father whispered to me to
sit up straight and not show I was afraid. The demon boys
called out some things, but we ignored them until we had
passed them by. A rock whizzed by my ear and hit Red
Rabbit in the side. He snorted, but plodded on as steadily
as before.
