Imagine Istanbul

The next day, we met up by chance near the Mosque. This is a lucky sign. He was happy to see me. I was happy to see him. Yilmaz was wearing his brand new shoes. I asked him if he would come to the Covered Market to help me buy t-shirts. I thought he might like to do this for me. While in the market, a policeman came up to us and tried to make Yilmaz leave, but I wouldn’t let the policeman chase him out.

I bought him a t-shirt of his favorite football team. He didn’t want me to buy it for him, but I wanted to give him the shirt because every little boy should have a silky sports shirt from his favorite team.

We went back to the cafés just outside of the Covered Market. I asked him if he would polish my shoes. He set about his task and made them shinier than the day they were new. I found out that day that his favorite team was Galatasaray.
