Summary
[edit]Sang, a sand merchant operating along the Chao Phraya River, traveled from Nakhon Sawan to Bangkok in pursuit of his beautiful wife, Prang. She had abandoned him to seek fame in Bangkok, believing it would better their family. When she rejected his pleas to return, Sang succumbed to despair, drinking heavily and becoming a failure. In a moment of drunken desperation, he attempted to rape Tubtim, his wife's younger sister, but she escaped. The weight of his actions and the care of his young children then fell upon Tubtim, a young teenager forced to shoulder his burdens.
