Since dad was unable to teach me but had the patience to teach Jerry, it was decided that she, with her 3 years of schooling, would become my teacher. Since I only had one year of schooling, she was three times smarter. We would go for a walk every afternoon and go shopping. She explained the best way to barter. Every day we would take a different route so that we could talk about the things we saw along the way. Once, a man with a club foot passed us as he sang loudly. "See how happy one can be even though crippled? His clothes are old and mended but he walks like a king". We saw a woman's clothing store displaying clothes for skinny women. "Rich ladies can afford to be fat and healthy but they buy expensive skinny clothes." "It's good to learn the lyrics of songs. That way you can entertain yourself when you are broke."
