The Little Boys Of Greece
A well-known writer who has been visiting Greece has formed a very high opinion of the Greek boys. They, are always, he says, ready to be useful, and always glad to help strangers out of little difficulties. They will run. errands and make purchases, and will bring back the change of any purchase money entrusted to them. They will wait and deliver a long message to a friend with whom you have been unable to keep an appointment. They will act as guides and conduct you to any place you wish to gci. In brief they like to be of use, and are ready and willing to do anything for anybody quite in the spirit of our Boy Scouts; and the remarkable thing is that they do everything for nothing, and do not ask..or expect tips and rewards.
