Excerpt from: saving the thrift store: a drama
lee washington
7rosa: it’s a shame that i’m the youngest in my family, since i’d be happy to pass my old clothes to kids who wanted them.
8louis: (holding up a newspaper article) look at this! a pipe burst, and the thrift store on market street was severely flooded.
9eddie: check out those torrents of water in the picture.
10louis: (reading from paper) a deluge of water drenched the clothing on lower displays. employees attempted to salvage some items, but the majority of the merchandise was destroyed.
11eddie: people contributed most of those clothes after spring-cleaning. the store lost all of its recent donations!
12rosa: that thrift store had a great selection of inexpensive clothes. postponing a reopening is bad for the families that rely on that store.
13louis: can’t they just dry off the clothes?
14rosa: after so much exposure to moisture, they have probably begun to reek.
15eddie: i don’t even like gross, smelly clothes for sports! they should smell clean and fresh just like fabric softener. (eddie smiles dreamily, imagining fluffy clothes right out of the dryer.)
16rosa: i’m sure eddie’s not the only one who appreciates clean fabric. we should try to restock the store.
