What does Mr. Milgrom give Misha and Janina for Hanukkah?
chapter 34
chapter 34
Misha received a comb.
Then Mr. Milgrom took something, and another something, from his coat pocket. They were wrapped in newspaper. He gave one to Janina, one to me. I tore mine open. It was a comb. I couldn’t believe it. I remembered the canister full of combs in the barbershop. I remembered Uri combing my hair. Now I had my very own!
Janina received a comb as well.
Janina’s gift was still wrapped in newspaper.
“You’re not going to open it?” I said.
She pouted. “No.”
So I opened it. It was a comb just like mine.
