Tale Of The Dav
Norah, who kept a small fruit stand in Dublin, was displaying a few watermelons. An American visitor, trying to tease her, picked up one and said: “These are very small green apples you grow over here. In America we have them twice that size.” * Norah looked the visitor over from head to foot, then, with pity in her voice, exclaimed i “Oh, sir, ye must be a sthranger in Oirland, and know virry little about the fruit of our counthry, when ye can’t tell apples from gooseberries! ” ' .
