Full transcript

1. 0:00In this town, no one turns left. For 50
2. 0:02years, to go left, cars turn right three
3. 0:05times. People always walk in circles to
4. 0:07the right. In the museum, left-handed
5. 0:09scissors are in a display case. In dance
6. 0:11class, you only turn to one side.
7. 0:12Left-handed kids write with their right
8. 0:14hand, with messy handwriting. The
9. 0:15grocery cart has only one wheel, on the
10. 0:17right, because they say the streets to
11. 0:19the left are always foggy. And from the
12. 0:21back, a tall, pale figure in a gray
13. 0:23raincoat waves slowly with their left
14. 0:25hand, and whoever turns left never
15. 0:27returns. We moved in on a Monday and no
16. 0:29one warned us. On the first day, I
17. 0:31turned left without realizing it. The
18. 0:32fog covered my shoes. In the distance,
19. 0:34something tall raised its left hand. I
20. 0:36ran back. Nothing happened to me, but a
21. 0:38neighbor dropped her groceries.
22. 0:39>> Did he come back?
23. 0:40>> No one had ever returned before. In
24. 0:42class, I wrote my name with my left hand
25. 0:44. I was left-handed, and no one here
26. 0:46knew it. At school, they called me "the
27. 0:47lefty." At night, you could hear
28. 0:49footsteps coming from the left, stopping
29. 0:51at every corner.
30. 0:52In the morning, the doors had scratches
31. 0:54on the left side, where a lefty would
32. 0:55look for the handle, and the baker
33. 0:56always looked at an old photo of himself
34. 0:58as a boy with his mom.
35. 0:59On Thursday, the mailman turned left
36. 1:01without looking. The fog swallowed him
37. 1:03up. Only his cap was left on the corner
38. 1:05. That afternoon, the town surrounded me
39. 1:07. In front was the mayor, with his left
40. 1:08hand in his pocket.
41. 1:09>> Since you arrived, everyone is looking
42. 1:11to the left. Tonight, you go alone.
43. 1:14>> At midnight, I turned left. The figure
44. 1:16approached, tall and pale. It raised its
45. 1:18left hand with the baker’s photo.
46. 1:20>> Do you know my son?
47. 1:22I haven't seen him in 50 years.
48. 1:24>> Then I understood: it wasn't a monster,
49. 1:26it was a left-handed grandmother. The
50. 1:28mayor back then sent all the lefties to
51. 1:29live on the other side, and the town
52. 1:31invented the monster story so no one
53. 1:32would go looking for them. They were
54. 1:34pale from so much fog, but healthy. They
55. 1:36waved with their left hand because it
56. 1:38was their way of saying, "We are here."
57. 1:39The mailman was with them, having tea.
58. 1:41The law wouldn't let him return. On
59. 1:43Sunday, I gathered the marching band,
60. 1:44and at the first corner, I turned left.
61. 1:46The tuba followed me, then the drums,
62. 1:48then the whole town. The fog lifted. On
63. 1:50the other side, hundreds of gray
64. 1:52raincoats waving with their left hands.
65. 1:53The baker saw his mom, and families were
66. 1:55reunited once again. Now the dance spins
67. 1:57both ways and the cart has all four
68. 1:59wheels, and the mayor had to sign the
69. 2:00end of the law with his right, it came
70. 2:02out a scribble, he took his left hand
71. 2:04out of his pocket and signed it
72. 2:05perfectly. He was left-handed, he hid it
73. 2:07his whole life. 50 years of signing
74. 2:09scribbles. Like and subscribe with your
75. 2:10left hand.
