Handicapped People Do Useful Work

Joseph Emmons can’t use his eyes. He’s blind. He has a trained dog named Buster that leads him where he wants to go. Buster sees for Mr Emmons. He’s called a seeing eye dog.

Although Mr Emmons has a handicap, it isn’t a big problem. He has a useful job and he earns his own money.Mr Emmons sells brooms and mops to people in his part of the city. He works every day.

Mr Emmons gets up at 6:00 every morning and eats breakfast with his wife. Then he leaves the house at 7:00. He holds Buster and walks from house to house. He carries his mops and brooms with him. While he talks to people, the dog sits and waits. The people choose a broom, and then they pay him.

Buster doesn’t let Mr Emmons talk to people very long. He likes to keep moving. It takes four and one-half months to walk to every house in this part of the city. Mr Emmons visits each house every four months, and by then the people are usually ready to buy new brooms.

Mr Emmons likes his job. He’s very healthy because he works outside every day. But these days he has a problem. His brooms last so long that sometimes they are still good after four months. Then nobody needs to buy a new one.

Mr Emmonds is proud of his brooms because blind people make them. He picks up a new supply of brooms every week. He says, «If you don’t sell people something good, they are not going to buy from you the second time you come around».

Hallowe’en is a Holiday For Children

Hallowe’en is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means «holy evening,» and it comes every October 31, the evening before All-Saints Day. However, it’s not really a church holiday; it’s a holiday for children.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put lights inside. It looks like there is a person looking out of the pumpkin!

These lights are called jack-o’-lanterns, which means «Jack of the lantern.»

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Hallowe’en. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come o a new house, they say, «Trick or treat! Money or eat!» The adults put a treat - money or candy - in their bags.

Some children think of other people on Hallowe’en. They carry boxes for UNICEF (The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). They ask for money to help poor children all around the world. Of course, every time they help UNICEF, they usually receive a treat for themselves, too.

Touchy Topics

In North America when people meet each other for the first time, they talk about things like family, work, school, or sports. They ask questions like «Do you have any brothers or sisters?», «Where do you work?», «What school do you go to?», and «Do you like sports?». They also ask questions like «Where do you come from?» and «Where do you live?» They are polite questions. They are not personal or private.

But some things are personal or private, and questions about them are not polite. People don’t ask questions about a person’s salary. They don’t ask how much someone paid for something. It is OK to ask children how old they are, but it is not polite to ask older people their age. It is also not polite to ask people questions about politics or religion unless you know them very well. People don’t ask unmarried people «Why are you single?’, and they don’t ask a married couple with no children «Why don’t you have any children?»
