      Sosrodihardjo found it hard to support his children, and the young Sukarno was sent to stay with his grandmother […] Believing that the boy had supernatural powers of healing, she put him to licking the afflicted parts of ailing villagers, and decided that he would be a clairvoyant. But alas for aval ambitions; Sukarno turned out to be a visionary of quite a different sort.
