Biography of Rumble
After a couple of months Rumble still seems rather perplexed.
I will give it to him - who wouldn`t? Having spent most of his life in Berlin in a cosy apartment near Brandenburger Tor listening to magnificient music from Schubert and Wagner and more or less never had to earn a living it certainly may be pure mayhem to be put in a box in the middle of the night not knowing what was going on. Next few days to sit in darkness in some cold postoffice, and finally one morning find himself being stared at by some blueeyed monster. (that is me). and a bunch of yabbing and howling kindred spirits. And an afterthought....... kindred spirits! - well most are jesters, criminals and other sorts of misfits so.... I don`t really know.
Well that was his first thoughts he told me, but now - after 2 month he honestly feels he belongs here.
Rumble quote:'They have all been so kind to me,and I even discovered that one of my family members live here as well '. Britton off course.
