Odysseus is rocking in the ocean on a door from the ship that he had taken to escape japan. He is now heading west in is way to North korea. when he finally reaches North Korea, two north koreans pick him up and out of the water. they take him home and feed him and give him water. they ask if he would like anything else, but odysseus is modest and says rejects any services. then there is a knock on the door and it is an armed official asking if they had seen a beat up man on the beach. they refuse to let the man in their house but this doesnt matter because poverty is at large in North Korea and the man kicks down the brittle straw door.
