3. Hello everyone!
Mr. Maraca here, saying hello from a very far off and exotic place! It
is interesting being on a land mass that is completely surrounded by
water! Since I have been here I have written at least twelve haiku
poems and have never entered a house with my shoes on! While
going through my travels I have seen men in giant white diapers and
women with powdered white faces and elaborate dresses! Well, I’m
going to go have my rice for the evening, even though I already had it
for breakfast and lunch! Goodbye and talk to you soon!
- Mr. Maraca
