Dem go inna yu ouse, and take yu inna one trunk to de clinic at BiênHòa. De self same day rain come: de rain god did get drunk for so! Dem go inna yu ouse, and take yu inna one trunk pass de DôngNai valley fill up wid junk fran di war, out to de place where de rain chop ’way bark and bast same way. Some man —dem go inna yu ouse, and take yu inna one trunk to de clinic at BiênHòa de self same day.
