Black And White Are Not Bad At All


The other year, I got broken, in mid spring month. My antique old billfold held only three bucks. I went to university as usual and came back had to stay spending the day waiting in home- one room, till the swell payday, end of the month. Two weeks of having rice and potato even and morn. Thanks God that I paid the rent $300. Life was easy. But, Cable Company cut its service. I missed my TV.

I was searching in the closet. What a lovely shining metallic dress hanger! in there I saw. I made it like an aerial. After several moves towards east and west till I heard a wonderful sound of broadcasting. Yet, black and white screen was not that clear. I fixed the aerial and setup my TV. I went to sleep.

Next day at 5 p.m. I turned my TV on. I had wonderfully enjoyed the shows: Little Lulu, Heckle and Jeckle, Mr. ED, The Three Stooges, and those great old black and white shows and programs. The best thing there is not news at all. Your scribbler, Hemaidy.

    Dear Scribe (nee scribbler). College days were tight. As a child, I remember "rabbit ears" (sometimes with aluminum foil) for reception. Your story brings back some great memories. Thank you. :)
