Third World Discovery
A boy and his
father visiting from a small country village in Latvia were at a large
multi-story shopping mall in America.
They were amazed
by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver
walls that could move apart and back together again.
The boy asked
his father, "What is this, father?"
The father responded,
"Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life,
I don't know
what it is!"
While the boy
and his father were watching wide-eyed an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to
the moving walls and pressed a button.
The walls opened
and the lady rolled between them into a small room.
The walls closed
and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the
walls light up.
They continued
to watch the circles lit up in the reverse direction.
The walls opened
up again and a voluptuous 24-year-old woman stepped out.
The father said to his
son, "Quick! Go get your mother."
