I honestly don’t have the right words to describe my reaction when I took a long walk yesterday and came across this Caterpillar with the man fast asleep under it. Look at the left side of the photo. Under the heavy artillery is a mound of a human being.
I was STARTLED! First off, I was ALARMED. I thought he was dead! Then I stooped low and heard the grunts and snoring. I felt relief, sad and worried all at the same time. What if he inhaled sand and choked? Did anyone know that he’s under this heavy duty machine?
I looked around and saw another fellow sitting with a far away look in his eyes’ – unfortunately, he didn’t understand one word of English, but my pointing and gesticulating might have come across to him – or maybe he ended up thinking that I’m one crazy black woman.

I’d be alarmed too. I hope nobody tries to drive the thing while he’s underneath it!

Ha,ha! The name Caterpillar was what we called such machine when I was growing up and it just stuck – Caterpillar is actually a brand builder for Earth movers and such articulated vehicles.

I wondered the same thing too, but I noticed that he wasn’t wearing a uniform which is compulsory for construction workers, factory workers and drivers in this place. Which was why I was concerned that something could be wrong.

It has happened here – I mean someone falling asleep under a truck and then being driven over 😦

I don’t think he’s the driver. Over here, construction workers wear uniforms, but he wasn’t. Quite an odd place to take a nap.
