16、aughter. She passed a copy on to me. The next day, I asked our local paper to run it, admitting I didnt know the source. Two days later, I heard from a writer in California.She had written on a plate mat (餐具垫) in a Chinese restaurant, “If you think there should be more of something, do it randomly.

23、or a little more than a quarter of the diameter of the earth.Once a month, or, more exactly, once every 29.5 days, at the time we call “full moon“, its whole disc looks bright.
