"I have no complete idea who this guy is, or why it is such a big deal to shake his hand. Can't anyone see him? Can't everyone get this 'specile prevlige'?" I wondered looking around. Unclear if something would acully happen, I scurred off to follow our host, the directer of the Tibetan Hosabital. Everyone was here or there doing there own little thing. We, Chase, Gram, Dad, Mom, and I were about to meet the Dhali Lama in person!
"You could ask anyone and the Dhali Lama would be in the top 10- or even top 5- of 'the most imporent people list'!" my dad wispered to me as we calmly walked into the line. I guess i was really lucky to be there, since my dad was shacking, my Gramma was almost crying, and everyone else was super happy. I, on the other hand, was just nerves I would mess up or do something wrong!
After waching the first group, I was told to 'When in dout, toch your head to his hand'! But then before I knew it we where being nuged right infront of The Dhali Lama! He shook all of our hands and rubbed Chase's cast. They quckly tock our picture and before we had to leave Dad asked for His Holiness to sign the book he wrote. this is what he wrote:
With my deep apppreciation and praise to your great work for the elimination or the life threating disease of tuberculosis.
I thank all the conserned people.
