50、hip even among strangers. A Sailors Christmas GiftBy William J. Lederer1Last year at Christmas time my wife, three boys, and I were in France, on our way from Paris to Nice. For five wretched days everything had gone wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps”; our rented car broke down; we were all rest

We found a boring looking little joint carelessly decorated for the holiday. It smelled greasy. Only fiv

In the corner a piano player monotonously played Christmas music.3I was too stubborn and too tired and miserable to leave. I looked around and noticed that the other cust

I havent sold a flower all afternoon.” To the piano player she said hoarsely, “Can you imagine, Joseph, soup on Christmas Eve?” 10He pointed to his empty “tipping plate”. The young sailor finished his meal and got up to leave. P

57、utting on his coat, he walked over to the flower womans table. 11“Happy Christmas,” he said, smiling and picking out two flowers. “How much are they?”12 “Two francs, monsieur.”13Pressing one of the small flowers flat, he put it into the letter he had written, then handed the woman a twenty-franc note.14“I dont have change, monsieur,” she said. “Ill get some from the waiter.”15“No, maam,” said the sailor, leaning over
