I’m
New Here
“Hi,
I’m new here. Can you tell me a place where I can get some food?”
“Sure,
where are you coming from?”
“
A very bad place and I am hungry.”
“Well
there is Joe’s Taco truck, but watch out for the flies. Then if you have some
money, there is Le Cue’s but they are fairly expensive. You do have some money
don’t you?”
“I
have enough, but I’m looking for something to feed my family before we journey
onward.”
“Is
that your family?”
“Yes,
we have traveled many miles and we are hungry.”
“Where
are you going to sleep tonight?”
“I
don’t know. I just want to feed my family now.”
“Well
there is this place…”
“Thank
you I believe we will move on.”
“You
are not around here are you?”
“Why?”
“You
don’t look like the rest of us or dress like the rest of us.”
“We
come from a distant place. A very bad place.”
“But
you lived there?”
“Our
family and their families lived there before the…”
“So
you do have a home to go back to?”
“No,
it has been destroyed.”
“Then
what are you doing here?”
“We
want to resettle and start a new life.”
“Well
we didn’t ask you to move here. We got our own problems without a bunch of you
guys moving in.”
“We
only want a piece of land and some shelter and a place to start a new life.”
“What
the hell was wrong with the old place? If you have lived there for generations
why did you leave?”
“We
were being killed and worst. We only want to raise our families in a safe
place.”
“Well,
this ain’t the place. We don’t want your kind here. Move on.”
