against the back of the freezer
and caused the defroster to start.
"Of all the hypocrisy..." he yelled.
He started hot water running and

them into the water with vegetables and spice.
"to close an orphanage with one pen..."
He sat at the long dining table,
places set for twelve children
and four adults at supper.
"and build a casino with another."
