Reading and Responding
The extract you are about to read is taken from ‘To the New World’ which is included in Pataki
Full, a collection of short stories set in Belize. The author, Sir Colville Young, was born in 1932.
He was the founding president of the University of Belize, and became the country’s second
Governor General in 1993. In this story, Cristobal, a simple Belizean farmer, is planning to travel
abroad for the first time.
Before you read
Skim the extract to find out:
• where this part of the story is set
• which three characters appear
• why Cristobal wishes to travel
Skimming: looking over a text
quickly to find out what it is about. It
is helpful to look out for the names of
people and places.
Cristobal Applies for a Visa
‘Cristobal Santa María. Cristobal Santa María.’
His name at last! He rose hastily from his seat and hustled to the window where the tall
blond man waited behind the glass partition to interview him. His wife went behind him.
‘Only one applicant at a time is permitted at a service window,’ pronounced the tall blond
man. His eyes were like icebergs reflecting a blue sky.
‘My wife,’ Cristobal smiled. ‘My wife Bella. We come together.’
‘Do you understand English?’ was the first question Cristobal had to deal with. He found it
puzzling: hadn’t he just mentioned, and in English, that he and his wife were at the embassy
together?
‘Do you understand English, Mr. Santa María?’ came the question again.
‘Yes, yes,’ Cristobal said hastily. ‘I know English good.’
‘Only one applicant at a time is permitted at a service window.’
There was the sound of Isabella noisily sucking her teeth and going back to her seat. What
the man behind the glass did not know was that shortly afterwards she began edging back
to the window, positioning herself where she could hear every word of the interview while
remaining invisible to the man behind the counter.
‘Why do you wish to travel to the United States of America?’
Unit 1
11
‘My brother Benito he dead. I going for the burying.’
‘You have evidence to substantiate the reason you give for the visit to the United States of
America?’
Cristobal had been forewarned and was forearmed. He pushed the telegram from Alfredo
through the hole in the glass.
‘You have in your possession a return airfare ticket to the United States of America?’
Again, Cristobal had been well advised. He pushed the airline ticket in the bright blue TACA1
folder towards the man with the iceberg blue eyes.
‘Do you have a steady job to return to when you come back from the United States of
America, Mr. Santa María?’
‘Yes,’ said Cristobal. ‘I am a farmer. Some years dat’s good money, I can tell you.’
‘And what is the name of the farmer
you work for?’
‘Work for? I’m a farmer. I work for
myself. I own my farm.’
‘I regret to have to inform you’ (he
neither looked nor sounded regretful)
‘that I am unable, for several reasons, to
grant you a visa. For example, the size of
your farm indicates you are what could
be termed as a subsistence farmer. Which
hardly qualifies as steady employment
– like a teacher or policeman, say. And
furthermore, the very occasion of your trip,
the supposed or let us say alleged death of
your brother in New York –’
The smooth flow was interrupted by
Cristobal passed his land title through to the official,
a howl of such intensity that the man
who studied the papers for a few moments before
behind the glass, his impassive pose
coming to a decision.
completely forgotten, leapt back two full
feet. It was Isabella, sobbing, screaming
and speaking all at once.
‘So my poor husband is not to be allowed to attend the funeral of his own brother, eh?’
‘Lady,’ said the iceberg urgently, his aplomb partly recovered. ‘If you do not comport yourself
properly, the security guard will be obliged to put you –’
‘We put you an’ de embassy in every newspaper in Belize, how de poor man bredda dead an’
’e can’t even atten’ de funeral even dough all his papers in proper order.’ Once again she split the
air with a howl, this time a few more decibels higher than before.
‘Listen lady,’ the man spoke up more urgently than ever, ‘come back tomorrow and I will give
you my decision.’
‘An’ de visa?’ demanded Isabella, her mouth open to howl again.
‘Have no fear, the decision will be favourable. Come back tomorrow at nine and ask the lady
at the counter for the passport. The visa will be stamped in it.’
TACA: Central American airline
Adapted from ‘To the New World’ by Colville Young

aplomb hastily impassive
Cristobal got up very quickly and went to the counter.
He hurried to the window where the official was sitting.
The official was sitting behind a glass panel.
The official claimed that Cristobal was not telling the truth.
The expression on the official’s face was completely emotionless.
He was startled by the strength of Isabella’s shout of protest.
He did not appear sorry when he refused to give Cristobal a visa.
He was surprised by Isabella’s reaction, but soon regained his confidence.
The official uses very formal English when speaking to Cristobal and his wife.
Rewrite these sentences in more simple language.
Example: ‘You have in your possession a return airfare ticket to the United States of America?’
‘Do you have a return air ticket to the USA?’
1. ‘You have evidence to substantiate the reason you give for the visit to the United States
of America?’
2. ‘The size of your farm indicates you are what could be termed as a subsistence farmer.’
3. ‘If you do not comport yourself properly, the security guard will be obliged to put you –’
