You mean, da iron ore bisnay, they put the Brabee them on Sanction for-for true?

Father, they say Uncle Sam people paid whole 37 million for their lesson, but the Indian people say, they were the first people here and any other person who come to do iron ore bisnay mon pay rent to them to use the railroad.
