Um..... no one can answer this.... because we didn't read the story.... but my answer is: He might not have seen his dad in a long time and he was scared to see him again. Or: He is just afraid. Sorry if this does not help.
I can! What's the thing you need help with?
The Bakota (or Kota) are a Bantu ethnic group from the northeastern region of Gabon. Estimates indicate that there are at least 43,500 Kota speakers in the world, of whom 34,442 people (79%) live in the Ogouee-Ivindo province of northeastern Gabon, and 9055 people (21%) in neighboring Congo-Brazzaville.
The altarpiece is made up of gilt bronze and is on view at The Met.
