A Walk and a Chat

As we walk, we exchange names. I tell him that I'm called Harry and he says: "What a coincidence! So am I. But spelt the male way, of course." I imagine that he assumes that my name is spelt "Hari".

Then he asks me: "Have you been here long?"

"I only arrived today."

"Then it didn't take you long to run into trouble! So what brings you so far from your homeland?"

"I'm looking for work." Well I am, even though that's not really why I am here.

"It seems a long way to come to look for a job. Any stories that you may have heard that our streets are paved with gold aren't true, I'm afraid...

1. "I have some contacts. Perhaps I can help you."
2. "What sort of job are you looking for?"
3. "You realise that, as a foreigner, you will need to get yourself a work permit?" I hadn't known that. Did Don forget to tell me, or didn't he know?
4. "Hey, what's going on over there?" He is looking up a side street, where a fight seems to be taking place. "I'll have to investigate," he tells me. "Wait here."
