Re: [Cz-L] paper children

The complete story:
  Part 1:
 First the son gets a passage to America .
The mother who is also a widow stays behind.
  Eight years have passed now .
    The son doesnt write ,not a letter.
   Sings the mother :
  " A Brivale der Mamen
      Solstu nit farsamen.."
    ( A letter to the Mother , you must not forsake"

   Part 2.
  Then there comes a letter ,with pictures .
  Beautiful pictures ,she pins to the wall.

  Is she satisfied now ? Far from this , now she sings :
  "Papirene Kinder hob ich of di Vent".
    The Sindale of yours who hasnt written for 8 long years and
    sends you pictures with his wife and two sons.
     You should be overjoyed.
     " Who is this blonde Shiksa with you?"
       What about the Kaddish for Papa ?"
     PS.
       Next she gets tickets for NY , lives on Delancey and in the evening
       she sings : "Rumenie, Rumenie".
