IMMIGRANT’
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
With a sudden brake , the speedy fancy car stopped at the red light. The screech of the tires, braking hard on the asphalt, penetrated and shook the windows of the building, which had been erected on the corner of the street over fifty years ago.
The loud noise disturbed the residents’ dinner. However, it wasn’t the first time when something like that happened there, so, with a mere headshake, a sweet word or a shrug, they went right back to it.
They didn’t even bother to go and look outside. It wasn’t their business, after all. They had their own petty squabbles over the overcooked potatoes or over the shopping spree in which the lady of the house had indulged that day.

In the red light, raindrops glimmered on the windshield and reflected the wet pavement in the glass.
To cut his wait shorter, the man turned to the young filly seated next to him, and the fingers
