Passage
A young woman was travelling in Italy. She was in a street in Florence, admiring some leather handbags in a shop window. Suddenly, an old woman touched her arm and said in Italian, “Excuse me, Miss.”
“Yes?” asked the young woman, wondering what this old woman wanted.
‘Is there someone in your family, maybe your mother, called Jennifer?’
“Yes’, said the young woman. ‘My mother’s name is Jennifer. Why? How did you know that?’
‘Because you look exactly like the lady who taught me English when I was living in Boston in 1950.” replied the old woman.
“That’s strange,’ said the young woman. ‘I come from Boston. But no one in my family is a teacher.’
‘Are you sure?” asked the stranger. ‘Pretty sure,’ she said, but feeling doubtful.
That night back at the hotel, the young woman phoned her parents’ home in Boston and she told her mother what had happened that day. Her mother told her that for about five years in the 1950s she had volunteered to help foreign students to learn English. Many of them had come to America from Italy.
