Fifi's Story

Fifi was on her way up in the world,or so her Nani liked to tell people. Nani lived back in Japan, and she bragged to all her old lady friends about her modern Granddaughter who started cutting hair as a toddler and now has a big-time salon in San Fransisco. Nani had never been to San Fransisco, but she knew it was important because Fifi called her from her fine apartment overlooking the bay. She would say,
"Nani, I have the most famous people coming into the shop now. You wouldn't believe it. People in furs with little dogs on diamond leashes. Everyone has a little dog here; they carry them in their purse. I cut their hair, do highlights, I do it all, and they tell their friends, and now I have so many customers at my salon, I had to hire another stylist."
Nani would sigh and picture her successful granddaughter ordering around an employee. It seems not long ago that she was a baby, whose parent left for America with very little money and no idea if they would get a job in that immense country. Now this success - it was all worth it.
"You have gotten a boyfriend now?" Nani thought it was time for Fifi to settle down.
"Who has time for that? No, Nani, don't bother me about that again! I want to make money, not babies! I'm going to open another salon, and another and even one in New York!
