The First Story

'Popo, can I ask you a question?' Jonathan asked.
'Haaaa, that depends. I won't tell you my age!' Popo replied.
'How come your eyes are blue? I thought that all Asian orientals had brown eyes.'
'Why? Do you think they are pretty?' Popo said again.
'Er yes?'
'I was born with them. However, if you ask my doctor, he'll tell you they are cataracts! He says I'm as blind as a bat! Hmmph. He knows nothing.'
'Cataracts?' Jonathan asked unsurely.
'Disease of the eyes boy. He says that old people get them. But if he thinks that I see with my ears then I'll make him see with his nose!'
'But didn't he make you do an eye test Popo with all the letters?' Jonathan asked.
'Oh yes but when he showed it to me, there weren't any i's in it and when I told him this, he said I had to read the letters. But I tell him there are no letters -' she starts to do her chinese accent again.... 'and me no wanto read somebody letter. Me no rude! Den he say I must read letters small, down, big , up an also backside. He say he fail me because i cant read letters but me laugh ata him because me say me cant read Englis letters. He don't kno dat pepaal sud not read ada peepal's letters!'
