Now that now that she has been reunited with her mother, our author learns a rather...strange MYTH from her mother. Basically, the story is about how her mother was bit by a dog. Then a snake showed up and her mother did not want to be bit because she didn't learn a lesson from the dog. So she followed the tired snake to place where it could rest. She believed that it was the spirit. "HIs spirit is finally at rest . He's come back to lie in peace beside your father(Hayslip, 249).
Bay Ly finally felt that she was reunited with her family. Not just in presence, but also in spirit. If you recall, her mother treated her like a "black sheep" and her brother thought she was a capatalist intruder. In just a day, that all changed and she felt at home once again.
