               There were only two pieces of


       furniture in it.  One was a small, two-

               He motioned for me to follow


       him.  We stepped outside, and he



       pointed to his roof. There, disguised



       by reeds, I saw a television antenna


       and a solar panel.


               He slapped me on the back and



       proudly said, “This year, TV, next



       year, internet.”
