    the north americans of the time they worked very hard and of differents forms for example police, farmers, author of menus and others jobs.

    My favorite story is "Spring on the menu" because it is simple, it's beautiful, wonderful and talks about something we all feel, "love."
    I think American society, along with O. Henry stood out in romance, who cared for the love and peace of the human partner.

    The chapter that mas I like me was five " Ikey Schoensteinp's love-potion " since it reports a prohibited love and I like the form that is removing the history. As for the company that is reported in the book it is a very calm company.
