The Speech, Corrected
The noodle stall at night with the shutters down, Aunt Oy and Grandma listening to Jack's speech: I've written it, please listen; read it, Jack; I thank you all for coming; simpler than that, child, thank you for coming; this boat belongs to the whole soi; better, and three things, say them as three; the wood, the hands, and the river; then stop, people need time to hear: the rhythm of a speech.
