Lee told of another time when he was a small boy. The family was poor and lived in a tent when working the fields. One night he woke up to find his father with a young couple in the tent looking for a child to adopt. They chose the cute sleep eyed cub, Lee
Lee was taken to a nice home where he was treated to any thing his heart desired, he had a warm bed in a room of his own, plenty of food, a pony. He was even taken to church and baptized. At night as he lay alone in his bed, Lee would think of the tent full of the warm bodies of his family to snuggle up against.
Lee would listen to the wind blowing and wailing through the branches of the trees outside his window. the noise he heard sounded like the names of his brothers and sister being called mournfully to him all night long.
During his unhappiness, Lee began wetting his bed at night. the more the new mother scolded and threatened if Lee did not stop this bed wetting, the bigger the problem became. At least he was returned to his real mother who was more than glad to get him back since Lee had been given away without her consent in the first place.
