Ngemuva kokuthenga nokubuyisa enye i-Walker kusuka enkampanini ehlukile ngoba yayingazinzi kakhulu, ngifunda konke ukubuyekezwa futhi nganquma ukuthenga le. Ngisanda kwemukela futhi kufanele ngithi, kungcono kakhulu kunalokho engikubuyile, ngilindile kancane kakhulu, kepha kwakhiwa kakhulu. Ngibona sengathi ngingayethemba lo mkhathi. Futhi luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, hhayi lowo umbala ojwayelekile ompunga (ngiseminyakeni yami ephakathi kwama-50s futhi kufanele ngisebenzise amadivaysi okuhamba ngenxa yokubuyiselwa kwami okubi), bengingafuni lokho kumpunga! Lapho ngivula ibhokisi, ngangihlabe umxhwele ukuthi le nkampani yathatha isikhathi esengeziwe sokusonga ngokuphelele zonke izingxenye zensimbi ku-foam ngakho-ke ukuphela ngeke kugwenywe ekuhambeni.
