"And every day", he said, "I stop and look at this bus and think about the stories that are painted on it." The artwork on the bus, he said, made him think about how different it would be to grow up in the Haitian countryside then the way he had grown up and to wonder how it might have been richer in some respects.

A foreigner discovers it ...
