Caught in San Francisco
The hills in San Francisco were so steep that all the parked cars looked as if they were going to roll away. Stanley Lambchop was climbing the sidewalk alongside his old friend Thomas Anthony Jeffrey, whom the Lambchops were visiting on their family vacation.
I can’t believe how much has happened since the last time I saw you,
Stanley said to Thomas as they walked with Stanley’s parents and brother, Arthur, up the hill. You had just moved to California, and it was my first time traveling by mail. I hadn’t even been flat long enough to get creased!
Thomas laughed. I remember opening your envelope. You smelled like egg salad.
Arthur shook his head. I told you, Mom: Egg salad and milk in the mail is a bad idea!
"Are a bad idea, corrected Stanley’s mother, who was a stickler for good grammar.
I didn’t want Stanley to go hungry. After all, it was his first time away from home!"
"I remember thinking, California, wow! Stanley went on.
I’d never traveled so far away. And to think, now I’ve been all over the world."
You have had a lot of excitement,
said Thomas. Then he added playfully, Though you still kind of smell like egg salad.
I do not!
cried Stanley, cracking up.
Since the bulletin board over Stanley’s bed had fallen and flattened him, he had been to Egypt, Kenya, France, Australia, and lots of other places—but there was still something nice about exploring a city like San Francisco with his family and a good friend. Thomas had shown them Haight-Ashbury, where everyone seemed to be wearing tie-dye T-shirts, and taken them on an old-fashioned-looking cable car to Union Square, where people in business suits hurried in and out of skyscrapers. Except for the moment at Fisherman’s Wharf when a group of tourists had recognized Stanley and insisted on taking pictures with him, Stanley felt like a regular sightseer. Now they were heading to the Japantown district for dinner.
