                                                        My Life Line

     I had been doing the same thing for a long time. School  ..... home .....
school .....  home. I felt I was about to scream with the monotony. In the morning I
could almost drive to school in my sleep. Then one day my friend Hank came and
got me out of the rut.
Hank is one of the most interesting people I have ever meet. A person from
India isn’t used to the crazy weather we have here in Michigan. That man could
stand on his feet and bend over backward putting his hands flat on the ground. I
never asked him but I would be willing to bet he could make a snake come up out of
a wicker basket from the sound of a flute.
I never saw him go to the bathroom but I suppose in India you might not have
to. Who knows, stranger things have happened....maybe. Anyway I owe a great deal
to him.
When my dad pulled up with him I thought Gandhi had risen from the dead. In
broken English he said, “Hello, my name is Hank, nice to meet you.” I almost didn’t
respond because I was laughing at a man named Hank from India had just come into

What were his parents thinking. It could start a tribal war or whatever those people in
India do for fun.
Although I was confused I shook his hand warmly. He continued on to his room
and I went back to watching TV.
Then I heard my dad talking to him. I normally don’t mind when I here my dad
talk but when people from other countries come he talks really loud. They aren’t
deaf but I guess he thinks the louder he talks the easier it will be for them to
understand. He was yelling, “HANK    DO   YOU   WANT   ANYTHING   TO
EAT ? HOW ABOUT   A   SANDWICH   WE   HAVE   DELI   MEATS.” I was
thinking to myself, come on dad he’s not an idiot. How would you like it if you went
there and some guy starts screaming at you in a language you don’t know real well.
Eventually Hank came downstairs and got something to eat. The round of
questions came next, where are you from?, what have you seen?, how long are you
going to be in the U.S.? and he answered them with a dry sense of humor. You
could tell he had heard them all before and knew he would hear them all again. I felt
some strange bond with this man be...
