One day, I came upon a bicycle with balloon tires in a second-hand goods store and secretly wished my mother would somehow scrape together the money to buy it for me. But I didn’t really think our income could stretch to a present that cost something like 15 dollars. And I wasn’t bred to be so selfish as to rob my sister Doris of her joy of getting the present she desired. A few days later, however, when I went into my mother’s room in search of a safety pin, I was astonished to find the every bicycle I’d been admiring in the store. “My dream has come true!” I exclaimed. “I’m the luckiest boy alive!”

If there was no handkerchief, he would vanish from her life and never trouble her again. When the bus pulled into the town, he and the students watched anxiously for the yellow handkerchief. At last, the students exclaimed their congratulations to the man when, not one, but countless yellow handkerchiefs appeared on the oak tree.
