純白裡的繽紛

                                The Hanukkah Party
                                            By Rina Friedman 

         Hanukkah was finally here.  After the doldrums of school, homework and report cards, my kids and I (being a teacher, I suffer from many of the same school ailments that my kids do) were looking forward to a real "Hanukkah" treat . . . a meal out in our favorite Chinese restaurant.  As my family and I opened the door and entered the restaurant, we anticipated a real treat.  After all, it was Hanukkah, a time for celebration, joy and oily foods.  Besides, ChinaPalace was our favorite restaurant.  We had been coming here for almost fifteen years.
    
     Once inside, and sitting at our favorite table, we were in for a shock.  First of all, after waiting for at least twenty minutes, and after waving wildly at every waiter (and being totally ignored), we were all cranky and starving.  This was a celebration!  Soon my kids would want me to go home and start frying up a storm. (Heaven forbid!)

     Second, all the action seemed to be centered at the opposite end of the restaurant, in the party room.

Merry Christmas, My Friend

     "I will never forget you," the old man said.  A tear rolled down his leathery cheek.  "I'm getting old.  I can't take care of you anymore."

     With his head tilted to one side, Monsieur DuPree watched his master.  "Woof, woof! Woof, woof!" He wagged his tail back and forth, wondering, What's he talking about?

     "I can't take care of myself anymore, let alone take care of you."  The old man cleared his throat.  He pulled a hankie from his pocket and blew his nose with a mighty blast.

     "Soon, I'll move to an old-age home, and, I'm sorry to say, you can't come along.  They don't allow dogs there, you know."  Bent over from age, the old man limped over to Monsieur DuPree and stroked the dog's head.
