Finally We Hear from Papa One day, we received one of those rare letters from father and in it we found a dollar bill. What joy! Mother hurried and had it changed to German money. She obtained sixty marks for that one dollar. We considered it a fortune! But the very next day the exchange went up to 120 marks. Was someone cheating us?
However, that day we celebrated. Mother bought a chicken, made chicken soup with lockshen (noodles), and purchased a bottle of fizz water. That was a most delicious meal.
