Includes three stories:

1- Ciao
2- Here it Comes, There it Goes
3- Papa’s Straw Hat

In Ciao, an English-speaking woman visiting Rome with her husband tries to use the little Italian she knows to make more contact with the Italian people and culture than the average tourist. Her struggles put her in humorous situations. Her husband, on the country, sees no need to communicate with people any more than other tourists do. The two other stories in the book also present normal people in humorous situations.
