The Old Lady
by Ma Moua
When I traveled to the United States for the first time, I came on Korean airlines. Just before we arrived in California,the time was early the morning. I saw the Flight Attendant give a towel for the passengers to wash their face. I saw one older lady eat the towel. I told her not to eat. I told her to only wash herface. I think that it was Maybe the first time she had ever traveled to the United States .She doesn't what to eat. Maybe the towel is very white and looks delicious. I think so maybe she was hungry. After the airplane landed in San Francisco, the older lady got sick. The lady threw up in the aisle. I think she was very tired because she slept on the floor. Many people took her picture. I had been in San Fransico for 6 hours to make my family's I-94 . An 1-94 is the paper that refugees use to become legal in the US. After we finished getting an 1-94, the older lady left my family to go to Minnesota. After that I left for Fresno. I now live in Visalia. I have been here for 2 years. I haven't talked with that lady since then. But, yesterday she called and she made me remember this story.
