The dainty morsel is half-way to your mouth; but the chopstick slips, and down it goes into the dish. It has to be fished up again, and again it may drop. This may happen three or ftSur times, and you begin to despair of getting any dinner. Your friend the Chinaman is too polite to laugh. He is sorry for you, and comes to your help.
