Sangana neBazi DuBois.Aive musikana murefu, ane ganda dema, akanaka, airatidza kudada pamberi pemahwindo echechi yekare muBrunswick.Brian naTamara Bandle vakatenga nzvimbo yavanoti kumba.
Pakutanga, Bandles akange asingadi kugamuchira DuBois munzira yake. Vaitarisira chimwe chinhu chisina kutsva. Aive akashata kupfuura zvavaida. Uyezve anonwa - zvakanyanya. .Uye hazvina kudhura kumupfekedza.Anoda midziyo iyi – kupenya kunowedzera (kupenya) kunowedzera.
Akabudisawo kamunhuhwi. Vanhu vazhinji vanoona hwema hwake hunofadza, asi hwema hwake hunofadza mhino dzevamwe vanhu.
DuBois ndeye 9-foot Blue Ridge Mountain Kisimusi muti.Iye ndiye dhiri chaiyo.Senge aigara papurazi resango pakati peUnited States nguva pfupi asati azviratidza pamusuwo weBandle.
Brian akaisa odha, hongu, asi haana kuwana zvaaitarisira. Akatsvaga muti wekugadzira wakareba, asi akatorwa moyo nerunako rwaDu Bois - mutengo wake (waipfuura $200) waireva kuti akanga akachipa zvikuru pane mimwe miti yenhema. akanga aona.Asi akaregeredza kuverenga zvizere tsananguro pawebhusaiti yeWilliams-Sonoma.
Pakasvika DuBois, mudzimai waBrian, Tamara, ndiye akatanga kuona dzinde nyoro pazasi pemuti pachinzvimbo chepurasitiki.
“Ndakanga ndichiti, ‘Maiwe,’” Brian anoyeuka kudaro, uye Tamara akatenderedza maziso ake ndokuenda.” Akanga asina kunditsamwira chaizvoizvo, asi akaodzwa mwoyo zvikuru nokushaiwa kwangu ngwariro kumuudzame.”
MaBandel, anga asina kumbobvira ave nemuti chaiwo, akatyisidzirwa nehanya nemuenzaniso uyu wepaini. Saka vakaita izvo chero mutengi ane ruzivo, akaodzwa mwoyo anoita zvino nekutengesa zvisingadiwe: "tengesa" muti pasocial media.
Facebook ine zero inofarira - hapana kana imwechete inogadzirwa "ichiri kuwanikwa" mhinduro inosvika, asi kazhinji hapana.
Iyo inowanzosekwa, yakatarisana nenharaunda yesocial media inosimbisa "unofungei nezvemota iyi isinganzwisisike yakatsika mumugwagwa nezuro manheru" kana "ndakaona imwe pachivanze changu - ichifema." Kufema - Turkey ", muti wepaini unoita kuti hupenyu huve huzere nesimba.
Tsamba yekutanga yaBrian yaive yakapfava uye kusvika padanho: "Ndakatenga muti weKisimusi wemamita masere pamhepo wandaifunga kuti ndewemanyepo ... waunzwa nhasi uye wazova muti chaiwo chaiwo," akanyora kudaro mugwagwa. uye mudzimai wangu haasi kufara zvakanyanya nekutenga kwangu. IFraser fir iyo inotaridzika semuti wakanaka kwazvo, asi ini handisungirwe kutarisira muti chaiwo. Kubvunza mutengo 175 $. Muti muhombe, uye ndakabhadhara $225.”
Kunyange zvazvo pasina akamboratidza kufarira kutenga muti wacho (unogona kutenga mafire mana matsva pano kuti mutengo uyu uende nawo kumba), vakawanda vakaratidza kufarira mupaini.Kutendeseka kwaBrian pamusoro pezvakaitika uye kuita kwomudzimai wake kwakakweverawo vanhu mukati.
Saka, muti uyu pawasina kutengeswa, akaisa chiziviso achiti aive achiri kuwanikwa - senge mukadzi aive akamirira.
“Muti uyu waive wamuka wakamirira mugomo wemvura inodziya paHome Depot kusvika ndawana panomira miti. Zvakanga zvisina kunaka, asi mamiriro acho ose akanga asina kunaka,” akanyora kudaro.
Maonero nemaitiro akaturikidzana.Nenguva isipi, akakumbirwa kuti aenderere mberi nenyaya yemiti.Izvi zvakashanduka kuva vateveri vakakurudzira Bandles kuti vambundire vashanyi vasingadiwi.Mumwe muvakidzani akamupa chigadziko chakasunungura Du Bois pane chainzi naBrian "joko re Mugomo weHome Depot."Mumwe muteveri akatumira Mardi Gras bead kubva kuNew Orleans.Vanhu vakati wandei vakakumbira kuuya kuzotora mufananidzo nemuti.
Zvino mumwe munhu akakurudzira makwikwi ekutumidza zita.Anogona kunge ari Holly (Zvakanaka) kana Noel kana Betty.Heck, kunyangwe Everett (anotamba Evergreen), Doug naSam vanobva kuBalsam vakapararira setsono dzaDu Bois pauriri hweBandles.
Bazi DuBois - rakafuridzirwa naBlanche DuBois mu "A Streetcar Inonzi Desiree" - inokunda.Uye saizvozvo, muti wakava iye.
"Takapa zita uye murume pamuti," akadaro Brian. Kusvika pari zvino, akaisa zvinyorwa zvinosvika sere zvine chekuita neDuBois paNextdoor.
Asi muti iwoyo wakawana zvinopfuura zita chete.DuBois akakundawo mwoyo yaBrian naTamara.Kunyange zvazvo vachiti mukurumbira wakaenda kumusoro wavo.Akapararira, achitora "nzvimbo yakawanda kupfuura yaaifanira," maererano nemuridzi wake.
Iye zvino anogara achishanya kuBandells.Kuvandudzwa kwechangobva kuitika kwakazivisa imba yakazaruka yekuti vanhu vasangane naDu Bois musi weMugovera neSvondo.Uye, Tamara akati, Du Bois angave akatochinja pfungwa dzevaviri ava nezvemuti chaiwo weKisimusi.
“Iye zvino ndinofanira kubvuma kuti muti wacho wakanaka uye ndinofunga kuti tinofanira kuva nemuti chaiwo gore negore,” akadaro Tamara.” Asi gore rinouya zvechokwadi tichange tichiwana chimwe chinhu munharaunda yacho pane kuhodha paIndaneti.”
