folk monologue / value

can i get my glass of tea? mmm

nothing like it!

at this time i would like very much to do a folksong. since folksongs

i think are still popular today. uhm

this one is in latvian and it's

from latvia. and it's about this tahitian girl who uhm

had this lover. and then one day this lover decides that he doesn't like her anymore

and likes her sister better. so she decided that the only thing to do

naturally was to kill herself

see. so one day

oh

was very nice out

about 75 degrees

and she was taking this walk down to the river to

drown when she

she tripped over this rock see. and uhm

oh it was

awful i mean

she broke her glasses

she scrapped her knees. and uhm

just at this minute the lover and the sister happen to come by in a

taxicab. so

see they saw her on the floor and she

having an

astigmatism in her left eye

she thought that it was a wild bore. so

she figured oh boy i'd better get down to the river fast to drown so

she runs down there and what do you know the river was frozen. so i

mean she just stood there you know and she went tchhh

like that. tch

and uhm

because

i mean

she couldn't do it that day. see

it was a

small town they only had one river

so. anyway than she figured

oh

it's getting late

better get home cause her mamma would be worried

and would kill her if she was late for supper you know. so

i mean

she gets up and she starts walking around home and she bumps in to

this guy

and what do you know

he turns out to be an optometrist. and just happens to happen to have her suscription". so
