you ought to be able to stand it few
minutes. Finally both you feet goto sleep

round tbs room to drive the prickles out
of your feet, and all the dancing girls
giggle at you. This isn't your only trou-
BILE, either. All you have to eat with is a
pair of chopsticks, and you're in terror
lest you spill something on the dainty
white mating floor. Now the floor of q
japanese house isn't just the floor; it's
the chairs and sofas and tables and beds
as well. At home it would be mortify-
ing enough to go out to dinner and spill
something on the floor; but in Japan.
where people sit and sleep on the floor,
it seems even worse. So you are unhappy
till your little nesan (who is the waitress,
and almost as prettily dressed as the
dancing girls, but not quite) comes
laughing to your aid. and shows you how
to hold your chop-sticks. After that you
manage nicely the rice and the omelet,

contrive to shred apart without drop
