“Mr Bao, are you from around here?”
“Oh, no! But another planet out there.”
“Oh? You’re an alien?”
“That’s what Americans call foreigners.”
“Are you saying you are a foreigner?”
“Not exactly. But I could be.”
“What’s your story then?”
“My story? Oh, I have too many stories.”
“Tell me one.”
“Well, if I tell you one, you would have nightmares.”
“Ha ha, I often have nightmares. But I can survive. Just tell me one.”
