　 “Fingers were made before fork.” When a person gives up good manners, put aside knife and fork,and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.

　 The fork was an ancient agriculture tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy,did the custom reach Europe.

　 By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widely spread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were unwilling to eat food touched with fingers,”seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.”

Dear Earthmen,

　 I have enjoyed my stay on your interesting unusual planet. I think I understand the life on earth now and I would like to give you my impressions.

　 First of all you live in boxes. Every morning you leave your big boxes and get into smaller boxes on wheels. All these small boxes race around and around, and finally stop to rest. You then leave these boxes on wheels and go to very large tall boxes.

　 After testing all days you get back in your little boxes and return to your big boxes. There

you sit and stare at tiny glowing boxes with moving pictures on the front.

　 Only one thing puzzles me. One day, I went to a football game. A bunch of angry boys fought over a little round ball. Everyone yelled for them to stop but they kept on fighting. They were angry, I suppose, about being cooped up in boxes all day.
