description: Dear Jamshed,America is not so different from what we thought. I told you I wouldn't see a single cowboy riding across the plain, and I haven't.I have not even seen a plain.Still, there are some silver linings. They are:1.) Trapper and King, the cat and dog who live in the apartment building. They are cuddly and waggy. I am not allowed to play with them, though, becayse they are supposed to catch mice and keep burglars away.2.) Ironman. He owns a pig and talks to me a lot. But he is a grown-up.3.) Kids. I can hear them playing outside. Too bad they do not want to play with me.I wish you were here.Do you wish I was in India? Write back soon.Your friend,Lowji
