she was, she didn't know how to come
back home and she was hungry. But Doris wasn't thinking about finding
her way, she was trying to remember her family, her friends, her
real home. France was a good place, but Mrs. Papulova thought, she
didn't know why, that this place wasn't her real home, and she wanted
to spend Christmas in her real home. She was trying to remember.
She never tried it before in her life, but she had to remember.
Two years ago,
on Christmas Day,
she was in the post office sending a letter to her purple parrot.
Twenty years ago, Doris was in a pub eating a snack made by a snack
machine, on Christmas Day. Thirty years ago, she was in the park
