Oh ! my
God story NO. 21
Yasuto Nishitani
What are they doing ?
There are things in New York city that I
don't understand.
I see a man on the street who is sitting on
a chair as I walk in the city.
They are not doing anything.
They are only sitting.
If they are beggars, they would have a can
for begging.
But they are different.
They are there in hot summer and cold
winter.
I'm surprised that they are there all night.
I will see them in every block.
Who are they?
I finally understood who they are.
They are sitting in front of a supermarket
or a store.
They are security guards for a store to
watch out for stealing.
The supermarket in NYC which opens all night
may be paying more for security guards than
their sales.
Oh ! my God.
