Loading ...Upon graduation from high school in a very rural area, young John was to be escorted to “the big city” by ma and pa to scout out the location of the college he would be attending next year.
Ma and Pa had never been to “the big city” either, but they were sure that they would be able to safely excort their precious son and help to answer any questions he might have-since everything in “the big city” would be completely new to him.
Upon arriving in “the big city” everyone was awestruck by the masses of people hurrying here and there, the traffic in the streets honking continually, and the size and quantity of buildings downtown.
They stopped at one building that stretched toward the sky in a seemingly unendless way, noticing the name on the building’s exterior, and realizing that this was to be their hotel for the next few days.
Ma said, “I’ll stay in the car while the two of you go in and get the ‘lay of the land’.”
So, Pa and John excitedly walked throught the large doorway. They entered into a place like none they’d ever seen before. There were people everywhere.
Across the room, they saw doors that occasionally opened and closed automatically. Pa stood watching as an elderly woman, quite stooped and wrinkled entered into this new-fangled contraption. The doors closed behind her. Just moments later, the doors opened and a strikingly beautiful young woman exited.
Pa quickly turned to John and shouted, “Hurry! Go get Ma!”
