Games (always with medals, of course), the people from Deva

to America
 What
on Earth can unite the Americans in such a way? Their land?
Their galloping history? Their economic power? Money? I tried
for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases
which risk of sounding like commonplaces. I thought things
over, but I reached only one conclusion. Only freedom can
work such miracles!
