Jesus, known to his family by his nickname 'Chuy, ' begins to feel lonely and an outcast. Chuy has a restless and inquiring mind, but a small and weak body and he cannot help his family farm their fertile fields near the Rio Bravo. As he looks around the colony, he sees the other children his age are working the fields. Chuy asks why he isn't allowed to work next to his brothers but he is told that someday he would. As time passes nothing happens. He begins to feel separate from the family which turns into feelings of inadequacy and resentment.
