“What funny western people,
To sit around a table!”
Smiled Wo Yen Locks.
“And eat their funny victuals,
Boiled in iron kettles,
With knives and forks!”
“What funny orientals,
To squat down on the floor,--
(My, what a fix!)
To eat their rice and honey,”
Laughed Beth (“how very funny!)
With queer chop-sticks!”
