I hope you enjoy this quick tale. And if you have a short story of your own, or wish to become a host yourself, please reach out: bnbtales@gmail.com

The story starts with the host opening the door to find a young Indian woman carrying only a backpack.
Host says "Hello, welcome to our home."
Guest answers "Thank you. Hello to you too. You have a nice house."
Host says "Thank you. Please come in."
Guest walks in and screen transitions

Host and guest are in the living room, drinking tea and the guest says "I have been to this country before, you know? A few years ago but in a different city. I was studying then but this time I came to find work."
Host says "Oh how nice. So you know well how the job market works, I suppose. Or do you need any help?"
Guest says "Oh thank you but I think I'm good.".
Screen transitions

Scene of bright blue skies with birds singing transitions to starry night sky with crickets chirping, then back to blue skies and night skies again.

Host is sitting on a couch in the living room, using his laptop on his lap, and there is a cat just laying on the floor next to him.
The guest walks in and says "I have been struggling with writing my resume." then she looks down toward the cat but keeps talking without a pause "I remember I had to" then she stops talking, jumps one step back, puts her hands on her head and starts lifting one foot after another in a way to show she is really afraid, all while she screams and screams of fear.

The host puts the laptop down and makes a surprised face looking at her and says "What happened? Are you alright?"
The guest keeps moving the same way but stops screaming and says "I am." (1 sec pause) "I am." (1 sec pause) then she puts her hands from the head to cover her face and says "I am afraid of cats.".
The host then looks at the cat and says "Shush shush." waving his hands dismissively, then looks at her again and says "I understand. But try to calm down. The cat is gone now. By the way, it is a very friendly cat. You don't have to be afraid at all."
The guest finally stops jumping around in fear, puts her hands down again and says "I believe you. And I knew you had a cat in the house but I thought I could handle it. I'm so sorry."

The host says "No no, don't worry. Like I said I understand. Fear is fear, right? But you were just about to tell me something about your job applications."
Guest says "Oh yes, I almost forgot. I actually don't know how to write my resume. And I need a resume before I can start applying for jobs online."
Host says "But wait. You could have done your resume even before traveling here. That would have saved you time and money, no?".

Guest says "I guess I should have. Well it's too late now. What should I do?"
Host puts his laptop back on his lap and says "Look, you can Google resume templates or resume examples and go from there. I would also check the jobs you have selected to apply for and see if they require a resume or full curriculum or what else."
Guest says "Oh yeah, I remember now. Some positions require more info than others. But I am not even sure what positions I'm gonna apply for yet."
The cat walks back in coming from behind the guest and stops and sits on the floor kind of looking at the guest.

Host looks at her again surprised and says "Yeah, you should have definitely started your research before traveling here. I thought you had already applied for some jobs and just had to go for interviews now that you are here."
Guest says "I guess I should have. But thank you for your help. I will start researching right away."

Host says "Right on. Let me know if you need anything else. And good luck!".
Guest says "Thank you so much." then turns around and sees the cat then jumps back once and screams a little but says "I can handle it. Friendly cat. Friendly cat. I'm strong".
The host puts his hands on his head and shakes side to side and the guest keeps walking past the cat and off the screen.
