Francisco makes friends with Miguelito when the two boys live in the same labor camp in Corcoran. They walk to school together one day, and since they enjoy each other’s company, they make plans to play the following day, too. However, Miguelito doesn’t show up, and when Francisco goes to his cabin to look for him, he is heartbroken to see that Miguelito’s family has already moved away. Their brief friendship highlights the impermanent, unstable nature of itinerant laborers’ lives and shows how this can be a difficult and lonely way to live.

I went around to the side of the cabin and peeked through the window. The cabin was completely empty. My heart sank into my stomach. Slowly I walked home, feeling a lump in my throat. I heard Miguelito’s laugh in my head and thought about our game with the puddles. When I got home I stood by our window and stared at our neighbor’s goldfish for the longest time.
