The eldest, Aslan, serves as his deputy, assigning tasks to his younger siblings while sympathizing with their mistakes and shouldering the blame from their father. One day, Aslan takes the boys to the river, a moment of pure joy as they swim in its deep waters. This experience awakens a desire for more, and the boys begin to diligently carry out their daily chores while the river becomes the focal point of their lives.
