The Old Man and Woman
Marissa squirmed in her seat， her stomach crying out
for food. She looked around the dinner table， which
gleamed with the special china and silver used only
once a year for Passover. The rich fragrances of matzo
ball soup and turkey made her stomach growl， but she
knew better than to complain. Her father， acob， was
sympathetic to many things， but whenever she told him
she was hungry， he answered， \"May you never know
the hunger I knew.\"
At that moment Jacob was too absorbed in leading
the lengthy seder to notice Marissa s misery. Her uncle，
David， playful as her father was serious， caught her eye
and winked. Next to him sat her grandfather， who usually
i mumbled and read to himself at the seder. But tonight
he stared at two strangers at the table.
