"Waiting for nothing"

THE EAR - The Freeman
May 14, 2013 | 12:00am

WAITING. An Ear informer from a southern town stayed up late Saturday and Sunday night. He admitted he was waiting for a candidate's leader to visit. "Mao man gud storya sa mga silingan nga naa kuno pahalipay para sa eleksyon gikan sa kandidato," he said.

NOTHING. But Saturday and Sunday came and went without the "leader" visiting our informer. "Wala man gyud ko gi-adto sa balay oy. Kapoy-kapoy lang ko huwat. Kadlawn na baya ko natulog," said our disappointed informer.
