when I was 6 my Dad went to visit India and when he came back he told me about the people living in mud houses.
Our house in NZ was near the water and when we drove over the bridge and the tide was out my parents would point out the mudflats to me. They were certain that they were there but I always looked for the little mud houses and the poor people that must have lived in them and I could never see them...I felt sorry for them for a long long time...
