Chapter 14 - Page 199 - New Addition To The Family

   Other people in The Factory did laugh. Rhasha and Shanha were both wearing blue jeans shorts with a scarf run through the belt loops. The scarves were tied in a knot on the side and hung down along beautiful black legs. They both wore oversize, button-up shirts of the same color, with the shirttails knotted above their waists. Shanha looked like a much shorter version of Rhasha. Smiling, they both rushed over to Jim and gave him a hug and a kiss. Everyone in the factory started clapping their hands.

   Tears welled up in Jim’s eyes. “I don’t know what I’m going to do with you two.”

   They gathered Shanha’s new clothes and left The Factory. When Jim, Rhasha, and Shanha entered the dining hall for lunch, everyone looked up. When they saw Rhasha and Shanha dressed alike, they stood and clapped. While they were eating, several people complimented Shanha on her pretty clothes.

   Shanha entered school the next day. She was excited when her teacher gave her some new school books.

   Jim and Rhasha went flying every day. Shanha went with them on weekends. Whenever Shanha wasn’t in school, she was always with Jim and Rhasha. Jim knew Shanha would be OK when she came home from school one day and asked if she could go play with friends.

   In the next four weeks, twelve new patients were admitted to the hospital. All the houses were occupied; thirty new houses were almost completed. The dining hall was twice as big as before and the village now had a city hall.
