Giêsu ơi,
Giêsu và em đang lắng nghe chị.
Chị sống gần nhà em cỡ 10-12 năm.
Chị bán trứng vịt lộn và nhiều loại sữa ngũ cốc.
Trong lúc em đang uống sữa đậu phộng
– có lẽ em là khách đầu tiên trong ngày của chị,
chị đột nhiên kể em nghe về gia đình chị.
Trong khi chị đang nói, vài khách đến, nên chị dừng lại để phục vụ họ.
