When ! waz a grl mi famile livd 4 a tim in
Indonezia. 1 nit my parents tuk me 2 C the wayang kulit, the shado-pupet pla.
Thez wer very simpl pupets cut from lethr, with 1 chip in M or prosesor
uv Ny kind. The pupetmastr hung a whit sheet & lit an oyl lamp behind it, so th@
by dansing his pupets in front of the lamp, he cud mak ther shados run & fīt &
dans & flee upon the sheet. The store he told w/ hiz pupets wuz a v. long 1,
takn from the Ramayana, w/ bulje-I’d Dmonz and monkeez, LXrz uv mortalite
& thin-I’d grasful herOs. All →the nīt the batlz rajd. I fel asleep & wok ↑,
fel asleep & wok ↑ again, whil arownd me babeez crid & quieted, vilajrz tokd, &
bats floo whirling → the darknes. Until @ last the gamelan orkestra playing
arownd the pupetmastr groo loudr & I wok ↑ just in tim 2 C the 4ses of good
triumf w/ the cuming of don, & I felt th@ sum mīte wav had rold →me & I wud nevr
B the sam again.
We R thoz dansing pupets, & my hol l!f has past on th@ 1
nīt, fīting against evl Dmonz & monkeez, but in the end the day wil cum & the
4ses of good wil triumf, I beleev it.
