A family of refugees was very favourably impressed with America-especially the
six-year-old daughter who rapidly adopted the view that everything American was
not only the best but also perfect.
One day a neighbour told her she was going to have a baby, so little Mary marched
home and demanded to know why she couldn’t have a little baby too. Her mother
decided to introduce her to the facts of life right there and, among other things,
explained that it took about nine months for a baby to arrive.
“Nine months!” exclaimed Mary indignantly. “But mother, aren’t you forgetting that
this is America?”
