Josette was not yet ready to give me back my corn and asked if she could borrow it so she could show it to more people! Although I had lost my little piece of corn I was pleased that it had been passed from my little megaphone to Josette's high decibel loudspeaker!
There were some other details: Before Josette answered my question, her first sentence was "Wow, you must be really proud of your country?"
"I am," I said. I was really glad that she gave me the chance to say it out loud on such an occasion.
