Uncle Chai's Money
The pier at closing time, Aunt Oy counting the stall's tin: looking for a shed, enough money; enough for the rent and the tools; I put in two hundred thousand; I can't, I'd feel bad, I'd rather do it myself; he's lending it, no interest; when the shed earns, then pay back; a loan, then, fine; write it or don't, either way; the first boat, I ride in first: refusing and accepting an offer.
