Now this gift feels as if it came from outer space.

I got an envelope in the mail from tepintzin. Hmmm, I wondered, as I carried it inside, what could it be. Well, it was a notecard with a sheet on which drawings had been coloured in on both sides by Afghan kids. On one side was a Chinese water dragon. On the other was a Yorkshire --- (yes, you can guess what letters the three spaces represent). Anyway, it was so sweet (and unusual), because the body and one back leg were coloured blue green (semi-blind in the dark here, remember); the other legs were taupe and the ears were pink.

It. Is. Wonderful.
Thank you, Teppy. If you see the kids again, tell them they made someone far away very happy.
