When I was 21,1 came to live in London. I shared a damp basement flat with a beautiful ex-art student from Brighton. Her name was Sam. She had long brown hair and a slim figure that I was madly jealous of. She ate three chocolate bars for breakfast every morning.
I used to lie in-bed looking at her eating and getting dressed, wondering how she could possibly consume so much sugar without losing her teeth, her figure or her complexion. She'd put on her makeup in under a minute, throw on whatever clothes happened to be lying around the room, and rush off to work looking like a model on the cover of a fashion magazine. Like me, she was just an art teacher in a secondary school.

Mr. Scotty from San Francisco flew from America to his native Italy to visit his relatives. Approaching New York the plane made a one hour fuel stop at Kennedy Airport. Thinking that he had arrived, Mr. Scotty got out and spent two days in New York believing he was in Rome.
When his nephews were not there to meet him, Mr. Scotty thought they had been delayed in the heavy Roman traffic mentioned in their letters. He also noticed that many people spoke English with American accent. After twelve hours traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him to a policeman who spoke only English. Mr. Scotty expressed surprise at the Roman police employing someone who didn’t speak his own language.
