Lisa Martin's dream of the 10 - 1st Side


A man said to me: "Hello, I am Pedro and come from Brazil. Where are you from?"
"I’m from here, I was just walking along my road and don’t know where I am now! Where are we?"
"I don’t know either, but we all just walked along our street, I was in Brazil, Li Ping in China and Jim in Canada and Ali in Iran. I still have not spoken to those that like you arrived later. It's all a bit strange," said Pedro" And where are you from?"
"I come from Germany," I replied. "But how did I get here and where are we?"

The situation was really strange; ten people meet in such a beautiful place just like that, everyone came from a completely different country or continent.
We introduced each other. It just had to be like that. Somehow, the whole situation was just so obvious. We understood each other, but I do not know what language was spoken.
Ten people were walking along their own street; everyone felt their road with its beautiful environment, friendlier than ever before. They all continued on their road and came together at this place.

Ten people in a very strange situation.

But then - we had been talking quite a long time about this and that and spoke as with good acquaintances, even friends - came the question: "What are we doing here, why did we meet  here?"
These issues were not resolved. We all could think of no reason, no common interest.
But this feeling of togetherness, as if we were a family, did exist between us. "We don’t want to lose sight of each other and we want to meet again."

We all had this strong desire - It must be possible to establish contact!
"Yes, but we do not even know where we are," said Ines from Mexico almost desperately.
We were so tangible, so close.

"I've got it!" Ragaonah from Madagascar called. "We advertise in a newspaper that can be bought everywhere!"
"No, a newspaper like that does not exist. But we can now arrange the most appropriate newspapers and then everyone advertises in a newspaper of another country! We have Pravda in Russia," said Igor "and I should be able to get a Chinese newspaper."
Li Ping nodded: "I can get the Guangming Ribao! And I should be able to advertise in a newspaper in Iran."
"Yes" – you could see the tension in Ali’s face - "We have the Abrar. And there could also be a connection to Madagascar."
Ragaonah laughed: "Put an ad in the Midi-Madagascar, which I read every day! And it is also a major newspaper in Australia."
"I can get The Austalian!" Gill beamed "Yes and I will then advertise in Chile."
"Advertise in the La Tercera de la Hora that is the most important of our newspapers. And in Brazil I know the O Globo, if you agree Pedro, I advertise there!"
"Sure, I would have suggested that too" he nodded, "and what is the right newspaper for you, Ines?"
"The Esto, I can also get it in the countryside." Ines looked at Jim questioningly.
"We can get the Toronto Globe and Mail. And as far as I know, Lisa, the Frankfurter Allgemeine is available everywhere to you ," said Jim.
I nodded: "And I advertise in Komsomolskaya Pravda. Then we cannot miss each other. But on what day and what will we write? Otherwise we will never find the adverts in those newspapers.
 "This is not so simple." Gill thought. -- - - - - - - - - - "Where are we here, on earth? Between being asleep and awake? In an area far away from Earth? I do not know how to define it!"
Jim laughed: "Maybe it's just a dream!"

"But dreams can be so real, so tangible?" Igor shook his head. "But it isn’t so important now, Let’s just assume it's a dream. The main thing is that we meet in reality! The main thing is we hear from each other!

We are ten people, why don’t we write = the dream of the 10 = and then I write = Li Ping get in touch, Igor = And then Li Ping gets the opportunity to write me a letter with her address, and so on."
Li Ping looked thoughtfully: "And in which language shall I write?"

Nobody thought of that. Which language had we been speaking between us? We spoke just as with a neighbour!!!!!!!

All around us, everything went hazy and unclear. Then Ali said: "In any case, the advert should go in the newspaper on 21 February. And the language, well everyone c... thi… .. .  …guage. W. ..... ...... s. .... "  read more
