Anowa and Kofi Ako are traveling on the road in a storm. Two years have passed since they left Yebi together. They are carrying heavy loads of monkey skins to sell on the roadside. Even though they are soaked by the rain, they seem happy and in love as they tease each other. They have been on the highway for two weeks and still have 30 miles to go before reaching the town of Atandasu. Anowa suddenly turns serious and suggests that Kofi Ako should wed another woman who can help them, but it is unclear what she means. Kofi Ako says she is being silly and that he wants to consult someone to help them with their problem, which is still currently undefined. Anowa does not want to resort to magic or “medicines.” Anowa reveals that they having been trying to conceive and she is worried that she is not yet pregnant. Kofi Ako reminds her that her doctor told him there was nothing physically wrong with her. She says again that she wants him to marry another woman, and now it is clear that she means another woman to help conceive a child for Kofi Ako.
