narrator’s parents care about eachother.

“Mum has stomach cramps…”, “Mum promised she’d see the

doctor…”, “Mum is sick.” – This shows the state of the narrator’s
mother, and the rollercoaster of her illness.

“We need Mum to get better, or we’re in real trouble.” – This shows
how much the family depends on the narrator’s mother.

“...I thought I heard the sound of singing.” – This reveals that there may
or may not be something and or someone mysterious/unknown singing.
