Now the special English program American Stories. Our story today is called Miriam. It was written by Truman Capot. Here is Kay Gallant with the story.
Mrs Henry Miller had lived alone for several years. Her husband was dead. But he had left her a comfortable amount of money ,he also had left her a nice apartment in New York city near the East River. There were three other apartments in the large brown building where Mrs.Miller lived with her bird , a yellow canary named Tommy.
Mrs. Miller was sixty one years old. She had no friends and no speical interets. One evening in January, Mrs. Miller saw an advertisement for a movie. It looks so interesting that Mrs. Miller decided to go to see it. There was a long-line of people waiting to buy tickets for the movie. Mrs.Miller stood at the end of the line. Looking around her,Mrs. Miller noticed a little girl standing near the line. The child's hair was absolutely white, silver white in fact.
