In, America, he had purchased land about as large ad four city blocks and made it into paradise. The man had left our village as a poor boy. Now, he returned with unlimited wealth, which he had obtained in the country of the American wizards. The mans wealth filled my mind with the idea that i, too, would like to go to the country of the wizards and gain some of their wealth. After a long time, my father gave me his blessing and my mother took leave on me with some tears. My father gave me some money and I went with five other from our village to take a steamship from Hong Kong. The engines that moved the ship were wonderful monsters, strong enough to lift mountains. When i got to San Francisco, i was half-starved because i was afraid to eat American food. But after a few days of living in the Chinese quarter, i was happy again.
