Today at the market I went to my favorite place for chicken soup.. but when I got there, there was a lot of commotion. Everyone was looking upwards and one lady was really upset. I was trying to look for a snake or something else dumb like that, when I went to my chicken soup lady. I asked " what happened?" She replied calmly "They took the roof". Misunderstanding her reaction but liking her calm presence in the caos, I sat down. I really wanted my soup... The sun landed on the table in front of me like never before, as I ate. Behind me some folks were arguing, obviously upset. I overheard that the plastic roofs were stolen, in ten minutes really fast. The conversations around me were of confused people, some upset. But the soup lady in front of me was smiling. I had to probe... "so they took your roof?" "Yes"...." but what are you going to do when it rains!" I was so confused that someone stole her and other roofs around her and she was still serving soup, calmly like nothing happened.....
and then her response came... "well its sunny today"
