International Economic and Social Cooperation
I ran out of quarters.
The Hindu living in the apartment upstairs
Fronted me a ten dollar roll
So I could finish drying my clothes.
When I went to the store
I bought him a 3 pack of VHS tape
I remembered over-hearing him
Tell his daughter he wanted to record a show on PBS.
When I went to his door to drop off my gift
(and a replacement ten-dollar roll)
The Mexican who manages the building was there
Suprise!
His wife had made enough enchiladas for everyone!
