Not zo mainy Dais zinz ve arrivink.
Zis grey iss like Bearlin, zis same grey Day

A biet off Rain voant hurt, vill help ze Treez

Vy shootd I mind zat?

me… for vot? I don’t eckzectly remempber;
Fess plees? To him, my Penny I hent ofa –
He notdz viz a keint Smile – Fanks Luv!
He sez. Oh! I em his Luff – turns Hentell
on Machine, out kurls a Tikett.
Zis is ven I know zat here to settle iss OK. Zis
City vill be Home, verr eefen on ze Buss is Luff.
