In America work brings wealth, and the Greek or Slovak soon worships his God in a finer church and reads his language in a better-printed newspaper than he ever enjoyed in his native village.
Gyuri began impatiently to tap with his foot on the floor. "Will you tell me where it is?" "It is there under the table." "What, the handle?" "No, the child."
