ever talking about them. I've heard
so mary people say Of someone
oh. he has no family tree
"And then someone else will say.
All, but see what a family tree she

AT FIRST I thought they must mean
a favorite tree in their garden or near
where they lived which had been
there for years and years and which
they called family tree. That was
what I thought.

they didn't mean our kinds OF trees
at all and that is why I'm so puz-
Zled.
"I've found out that they mean that
they have trees. family trees. not
biz like ours. I've gathered that from
the way I've heard them talk.

In a very plt-z;ed voice.

sneak as If their trees were just like

family's ancestors or grandmothers

failed to work, and the car with

his effusion enrage, the ingratitude
of those whom he befriended, the
