I'll introduce myself back to them. I'm not sure how I'd ask something abstract like, "why are your names are so short?" Maybe it's the street kid culture here?

Hm. Not sure how much to read into that. Maybe there's a big stunting problem here. Foods here don't seem to be nutritious.

What exactly do you mean by "passes"? Are we in the rough tunnel now?
I'll point it out along the way.

Literally? I can give it a shot. Unless he meant it as a metaphor for panhandling. Then I'm probably awful at it. I'll try to communicate that.

Are we at a wall or something? Or the entrance to a tunnel?
I try to get a better look at what exactly he's drawing. Is it like a spiral, concentric circles?
