There once was a building ina big city where migrants go. From early morning until late evening, the halls of the building were filled with nervous people who hoped to leave the building with positive news as soon as possible. In a queue system, people first raced to the seats and then to the counters. Counter number one was the most frequently visited. It was the counter for visa applications.
