the JOY of finding is not always less
than the Joy of pursuit. The maid who
had been assigned to minister to our

She had never seen foreigner. but
she had heard much gossip of our GUS

upon verifying this group as far as
possible. and she was also very curious
about our possessions. She taught us
how to hold our chopsticks and how to
drink our soup. A little more noise
