PART 1 · LESSON 8 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Lunch by the Canal

Noon at the yard, the noodle boat tied up at the steps: do you like boat noodles? Two bowls? Spicy? I do, not spicy, please; he likes everything, old boats too; who likes old boats! I like working with my hands; then you'll like the next one; I like this canal, it's quiet; you like quiet? Wait for the long-tails: liking things, people and doing things.
