story are The New Village
“I am going to the store, Uncle Moti,” Mina said. “Do you want to come along?”
Uncle Moti shook his head and said, “No thank you, Mina, it is just too loud and crowded for me out there. I am used to the peace and quiet of our village. I have to admit the city frightens and confuses me.”
Mina said, “Tell me about the village, Uncle Moti.”
Uncle Moti smiled and said, “The loudest sound is usually birdsong. You can also hear the sound of the water in the canal and the bells that hang around the goats’ necks. The people I meet on the street are all people I know, and we stop and talk or go to the tea shop together. There are not many shops, but the shopkeepers know all their customers.”
“It sounds really nice,” Mina said, “and really different—in some ways—but I think maybe it is not different in every way. Please come with me, and I will show you.”
Uncle Moti said, “All right, Mina, I’ll go.”
On the street, cars zoomed by, some of them honking, people shouted to each other, and kids ran around playing. Uncle Moti looked very nervous at all the noise and activity, and Mina took his hand.
A sidewalk is shown filled with people walking and talking.
“Look, Uncle,” she said, “there is my friend Nate and his brother, and coming down the street is my teacher, Ms. Sanchez.” Mina waved to Nate, who waved back, and then she called hello to her teacher. Then Mina led her uncle down the street to the store, where she greeted the shopkeeper. “Hi, Ms. Franklin, this is my Uncle Moti, who has come here from India to live.”
“Hello, Uncle Moti, and welcome to the United States!” the woman replied, smiling. “And what can I get for you today?”
When they left the little store, a horn honked, making Uncle Moti jump. Someone pushed by them, bumping into Uncle Moti. “Hey, Mr. Watkins, watch your step!” Mina cried.
The man called back, “Sorry, sorry!” as he hurried on.
“Look, Uncle Moti,” Mina said, pointing ahead of them at a tree that grew up from the sidewalk, surrounded by a little iron fence. On the lowest branch of the tree was a little sparrow, and as they drew closer they could hear it chirp.
“Over here, Uncle,” Mina instructed, taking her uncle’s arm and leading him across the street. A sign over a door read “Navid’s Tea Shop,” and Uncle Moti broke into a big smile. He and Mina went in and took a seat at a table, setting down the grocery bag in an empty chair. They ordered tea, and Uncle Moti sighed happily.
“Well, I see what you were trying to show me, Mina,” he said. “This neighborhood is your village, and now it will be mine, too. It has friends, kind shopkeepers, birds, and even a tea shop, and I think that once I get used to it, I could be very happy here.”
next story All in a Day's Work
Dr. Schwartz studied the elements of soil and plant life. Because of her work, she spent a lot of time looking for specimens. She searched the woods, looking under rocks, on leaves, and in the soil for interesting plants to use in her experiments.
One day she collected some algae, a slimy plantlike life form, and some soil that contained bacteria she needed for her research.
A pond is shown with algae and other plants on the surface.
Back in her lab, Dr. Schwartz first performed tests on the soil she had collected. She cleaned up as she went along, leaving everything orderly and neat. She was just about to start her experiments on the algae when a co-worker, Dr. Rao, threw open the door to her lab. He shouted, “We need you to look at our latest experiment in my lab!”
“I don’t think I can get away right now,” Dr. Schwartz said, her hands full of dirt. “I will look at your experiment later today.”
“Just for a few moments,” he pleaded wildly. “Something awful has occurred!”
“Not again!” said Dr. Schwartz, wiping the dirt off her hands. She followed Dr. Rao down the hall. “What is it this time?” she asked him.
“Our mixture was dormant, like a sleeping baby,” Dr. Rao explained as they hurried down the hall. “It was inactive, but—” He opened the door, and Dr. Schwartz peered inside.
“Oh, my,” said Dr. Schwartz, taken aback but speaking in a matter-of-fact tone. “It is definitely not inactive anymore.” The mixture had erupted all over the lab! Thick slime was shooting out of beakers, like a volcano exploding all over. They watched the green goo spread, quickly moving over desks and blocking the windows.
Dr. Schwartz warned, “We could be in danger and should probably get out of here.”
Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Rao, and the other people in the lab exited and secured the door behind them. They stood in the hallway arguing, trying to decide what to do. Only Dr. Schwartz, who was thinking hard, was quiet.
At last Dr. Schwartz spoke, saying, “We have to do something before it slimes the entire building. We are working against the clock here. I have an idea that I think may work, so let me handle this.” She hurried to her lab and was back in a matter of seconds, clutching a bag. Then she opened the door to Dr. Rao’s lab and threw in the contents of the bag, which was full of dirt.
She smiled as she observed the slime being scrubbed away. The soil seemed to clean the slime from the room, destroying the green stuff that had dirtied the walls and floor. Dr. Rao and the others watched in amazement as Dr. Schwartz explained, “The soil I’m studying appears to have anti-slime properties. I discovered the soil in an area that had no algae—not a single one was to be found. But I never expected that my discovery would come in handy so soon.”
