“Hello Sir!“, she said nervously. „I aspire to find good work here.. and...“
“And?“, the gentleman asked with an even bigger smile.
Lydia exhaled. „And to start a new life and leave everything behind“.
The man laughed: „Well, that‘s great young lady! Now go and do exactly that“.
He clapped on her shoulder, as if he was proud of her, as a sign to go.
Empowered by his words Lydia walked happily into the city, ready for what ever may await her.
