Aunty's letter

Dear Sanju baba,


I'm writting this slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where
we did when you left home.


Your Pa read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 minutes of
your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last
family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn't
have to change their address.


This place is really nice. I even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works
so well, though, Last week I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain, we
haven't seen it since. The weather isn't bad here.


It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second
time for fourdays. About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle said it
would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off
and put them in the pockets.


Bablu locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it
took him two hours to get me and your father out. Your sister had a baby this
morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if you are an
aunt or uncle.


The baby looks just like your brother. Uncle Rakesh fell into a swimming pool
last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We
had him cremated; he burned for three days.


Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Bablu was driving.
He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the
back, they drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down.


I am now closing this letter and will share more good news with you again next
time. Your Favorite Aunt,


P.S...If this letter does not reach you, please let me know, I will send u
another.
