The family, as well as the rest of the slaves of the Confederate
states, were decreed free by the Union, about six months after Ida's
birth, thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation. However, living in
Mississippi as African Americans, they faced racial prejudices and were
restricted by discriminatory rules and practices.
When Ida was sixteen
years old both of her parents died from Yellow Fever. In order to keep
her family together, Ida went to work as a teacher and took care of her
brothers and sisters. A few years later, Ida moved to Memphis to teach
where she could make more money. She also took college courses during
the summer and began to write and edit for a local journal.

Answer:
Manuel returns home to find that his mother has suffered a stroke.
Explanation:
The short story "Manuel and the Magic Dox" by Ekaterina Sedia tells the fairytale of a young boy named Manuel and his friendship with a red fox. The story deals with legends and keeping alive one's beliefs, the traditions. The story also deals with the displacement of the natives and the influence of the European way of living.
In the story, Manuel encountered a fox on his way back home, by following a trail left by the fox prints. He gave the small red fox his snacks that Uncle Tobi had prepared for him. Once he got back home, he found that his mother had suffered a stroke and that he needed to now take care of her and not go to school.
So, the second thing that happened in the story is that Manuel returned home to find his mother has suffered a stroke.
