Kukho andazi ukuba yeyiphi imbonakalo ebulalayo kuyo yonke imeko ezolileyo nenoxolo, kude nesihlwele esinomsindo. Kuhlobo lwentlango, phakathi kwecacti kunye neqakamba, uElmer noRose basinda kunye neentombi zabo ezintlanu. Ubomi bubetha ngesantya sokuphumla, inyani iyadlula kunye nexesha lokuvalelwa phakathi kwendawo ebharhileyo yethafa elikhulu.
Ukufika komfokazi ogama linguRick, umkhenkethi olahlekileyo onikwa indawo yokuhlala kunye nokuphumla, uphelela ekubeni yinto ebalulekileyo yoxinzelelo kusapho. Mhlawumbi utyelelo lukaRick alunabungozi njengoko kubonakala ngathi, mhlawumbi le nkwenkwe sele ikufumene oko ibikufuna.
Ezi ntombi zintlanu zinomdla kumntu ongamaziyo, ngelixa abazali babo uElmer noRose beqala ukuva ukuba ikhona enye into ekhokelele uRick apho. Kuyinto enomdla ukwazi ukuba kwindawo ebanzi, ngobuninzi beendawo ezinokubakho kunye nezikude, ubomi buyancipha de buvelise indawo yokufuthanisela.
Ngenxa yokuba inyani iyavela njengamanzi amnyama kwiqula elimbiweyo kuloo ntlango. Kungenxa yokuba kusenokwenzeka ukuba usapho olwahlukileyo aluhlali ngaphandle kwelizwe ngengozi. Ingxaki kukuba izizathu ezibakhokelele apho zabonakala zifihliwe ngonaphakade.
Ngendlela efanayo yokuba i-cacti ikhula ngameva endaweni yamagqabi ukunqanda ukulahleka kwamanzi, usapho ludibana kunye nale nkqubo yokhuselo. Umntu ngamnye usibonisa impendulo engaqhelekanga kwizinto ezithile ezingakhange zivelise ukuzola kodwa sele kukho imeko embi.
