A short story originally collected Arabic in 1964 and gathered a series of stories "The Wedding of Corn". Like many stories written by El Tayeb Salih, the story takes place in the imaginary environment of the village of Wad Hamid in the heart of Sudan. This short story is conveyed through the eyes of a little boy, because he experienced Epiphany, a critical moment of consciousness that might mark him from child to adult. Because the boy is listening to Masood and his grandfather explaining the treatment of the observer, the boy's love and praise for his grandfather diminishes.
