CONTINUED

Josie Mae and Earl are behind her, picking the corn in armfuls - run back to the stationary place where they left their croker sacks, and drop the corn into the sacks.

EXT. CORNFIELD - DAY

A WHITE MAN in a wagon rolls in the aisle between the rows of corn - stops the wagon at each sack, where Rebecca and David Lee load the corn up on the wagon.

EXT. WEIGHING STATION - DAY

The wagon rolls up to the weighing station on Mr. Howard's premises and comes to a halt - Rebecca and David Lee climb down from the wagon. Mr. Howard is there.

Rebecca and David Lee unload the sacks from the wagon, and put them down on the scale, while the Man who was driving the wagon writes down the weight numbers on the piece of paper.

INT. THE KITCHEN - NIGHT

Rebecca, Josie Mae and Earl are gathered around David Lee as he slowly completes writing a letter - He sits back to read it.

DAVID LEE
(reads)
"Dear Miss Johnson. How are you? I am doing okay. I told my mama, my brother and my sister about you, and they like you too. I can't make this letter too long because I have work to do. Bless you, David Lee Morgan."

They all look to each other with big triumphant smiles of pride on their faces. 

REBECCA
Son, you sure write a good fine letter!

EXT. THE WOODS - DAY

David Lee walks through the woods with a book in his hand - he stops, sits down at the base of a tree, when suddenly he reacts as if he hears something - he rises and rushes away - he runs, stops and looks around him, in search of someone, and then he takes off again at -- high speed along a pathway of the woods. His speed builds and builds, and suddenly he breaks the woods, and the night, into high grass field.
