“From San Carlos,” he said, and smiled.

“I was taking care of animals,” he explained.
“Oh,” I said, not quite understanding.
“Yes,” he said, “I stayed, you see, taking care of animals. I was the last one to leave the town of San Carlos.”

“Various animals,” he said, and shook his head. “I had to leave them.”
