(no subject)
in our previous lives we were european immigrants. a young
couple, named henrik &nora, traveling from our home in the
poor country of Norway toward a better life in America, where
the streets are paved with gold. we were surprised when we
arrived that the streets were not paved at all, so henrik took
up a job as a traveling merchant, selling handmade kites, &
i worked in a tiny tea shop, knitting socks in my free time. at
night we would light a small fire &henrik would wear all of the
socks i made for him. in fact, he had so many that we never
had to wash them &he began using them for funnier things,
like hand puppets. all different colors and kinds. after supper
we would play the organ for many hours, singing little songs
about yellow birds &bee keeping, until we were so tired that
we wondered if we were going crazy. &we slept very soundly.
THE END.
