NEW IN AMERICA
Nancy was new to America. She came to America speaking only her native language. She
brought her 8-year-old son with her. He was all she had in the world.
They found an apartment in Arcadia. They were there for only two months when a neighbor's
dog jumped over the fence. The dog ran toward Nancy's son. Nancy put her body in between the
dog and her son. The dog stopped when it saw Nancy screaming at it. She was going to punch it in
the nose. The dog turned around.
Shaking, Nancy took her son upstairs. They stayed in the apartment all weekend. Then Nancy
found another apartment, close to the school that her son was going to attend.
She and her son walked everywhere. One day her son started coughing badly. He had an
asthma attack. All the walking was making his asthma worse.
Nancy knew that she had to buy a car. So she called up the Honda dealer. She talked to a
salesman who spoke her language. She told him that she wanted to buy a new car if he could come
over to pick her up. The salesman said he would be right over.
