Me
Sue tells me that in her
country a husband can do
what he wants with a wife.
The reason he married Mr.
Tam was that she thought it
would be different in Amer-
ica.
When Stanley comes home
he says to me quietly, "What
are they doing here?"
When I tell him he says,
"Mixing in again?"
"It's just for dinner,
Stanley. On Rosh Hashanah,
at least, we could open our
home to immigrants. They
were actually out in the street
fighting!' He shakes his head
and goes off to the bathroom.
I don't see him again until I
call him for dinner.
I have to admit it feels
strange to have all of us
seated at the same table, Sue
and Mr. Tam's sister, and
Stanley and me. At first it's
kind of quiet. Then Stanley
announces he's going to say
the blessing for the bread, to
open the meal. He puts on his
old black kipah.
"Please, before you start,
I've got something," I say
and I put the box with the
new kipah in front of him.
"What's this?"
"For the holidays, some-
thing special. Open it."
He undoes the wrapping
paper and opens the box.
"My God, it's beautiful," he
says, taking out the new
crocheted kipah. "Where did
you get it?"
"Mr. Tam's sister made it.
I wanted to pay her for it, but
she wouldn't take anything,
so you might say it's a gift
from her, from the three of
us!'
Stanley puts it on and he
looks fine. He nods to Mr.
'Pam's sister and says loudly
and slowly as though she will
understand him better,
"Thank you. Thank you." She
nods back and smiles at him.
Stanley says the blessing and
