In this episode, you will hear a story about two persons' experience of going to a Chinatowm. Thank you for listening to it.

一天，小王的女朋友小平说她想去中国城吃中国饭。小王就开车带小平去中国城。可是，小王从来没去过中国城，他不知道去中国城怎么走，所以小平拿了一张地图告诉小王怎么走。过了二十分钟，他们到了一个地方，在这个地方他们考到了很多中国字，他们想这个地方就是中国城。他们停车问一个人，“你知道中国饭店在哪儿吗？” 那个人说：”这里是小东京，没有中国饭店。“这个时候，他们才知道他们走错了地方，这里不是中国城。小平非常不高兴，因为她只想吃中国菜，不想吃日本菜。

Sam is a meteor from outer space. After leaving his homeland orbit, Sam was pulled towards the nearest large planet. When entering Earth’s atmosphere, he faced so much resistance. This created extremely high temperatures which burned away layers and layers of his body. As a result, Sam, who used to be giant when floating in space, became so little that he could fit in a fisherman’s hand.
 
The overwhelming amount of pain Sam suffered as a result of his entry caused him to fall into a deep state of unconsciousness. When Sam struck the Earth, he was fast asleep. 

Waking up and opening his eyes, Sam sees nothing but a vast cloudless blue sky. An enormous wave of peace and serenity washes over him. He is like a newborn baby experiencing the wonder and mystery of life for the first time. For a few moments, this serene blueness the only mental phenomenon swimming around his meteor consciousness. Seconds later, questions appear. 

Where am I? What happened? What comes next?

Due to his traumatic experience, Sam has lost all memory of his life before coming to Earth. He rolls over and looks down the beach. There are some large laughing figures running around, chasing a flying red disk. Further away there are two large ones holding long boards under their arms while walking into the water. Closer to Sam, there are several little figures picking up other rocks and showing each other. 

“Wow, look at that one!” says one of the little boys. “It looks like emerald. With a little bit of sapphire too!” 

I wish that those boys will pick me up and take me with them… I want to explore, to see precisely what life on Earth has to offer…

“Come quick!” yells one of the boys, eagerly running straight to Sam. “Look at this one! It’s so strange and ugly, but fascinating at the same time!” 

“Grab it, quick! Before mom sees!” 

A distant voice calls for the two children to return to the family car. “Boys, we’re going now. Hurry up.”
