Every time I see the old, blue and white Chinese teapot in the kitchen, I remember my Grandma. How can I ever forget having tea at my grandmother’s house?
As I entered the house, I smelled the aroma of fresh tea and cookies.
I would run into the kitchen to kiss Grandma, sit at the table, and watch how she prepared everything for tea. I enjoyed helping her set the table.
After the table was set, she would begin the ritual of preparing the tea. First, she put her teapot with water on the stove and waited until it started to boil. Then she put four spoonfuls of tea in the teapot and squeezed a few drops of lemon juice in, too. She waited for about ten more minutes until we could smell lemon with the tea. She took the teapot off the stove and poured a little in each teacup. Then we added hot water and some sugar and began to enjoy the tea. Of course, the cookies also played an important role, but they are material for another story.

The English Sunday is no longer the quiet day of rest it was in the past. Writing letters, reading novels, playing the piano or violin, riding a bicycle or motorcycle, visiting picture galleries, exhibitions, museums or the Zoo, going to an afternoon or evening concert, all that is no longer considered improper. Even some cinemas are now open on Sundays and most of the West End restaurants give some music during the dinner hours.
But in many other respects, things have remained as they were. People do not go to business on Sunday; only a few small shops are open; no letters are delivered in London, except by “Express Sunday Delivery”. The railways, trolley-buses and trams run less frequently than on week-days. A few Sunday newspapers only are published; the theatres and music halls are closed.

 One of Mark Twain’s hobbies was fishing. He went fishing even in the closed season, when fishing was not allowed. Like all fishermen, he sometimes invented stories about the number of fish he caught.
One hot day during the closed season, Mark Twain was fishing under a low bridge. A man who was walking across the bridge noticed Mark Twain and began to watch him. At last he asked, “Have you caught many fish?”
“Not yet,” Mark Twain answered. “I have only just begun. But yesterday I caught thirty great big fish here.”
“You were very lucky,” the man said. “Do you know who I am?”
“No,” Mark Twain said. “I don’t think I ever met you before.”
“I’m the fishing inspector in this place. Do you know that this is the closed season?”
Mark Twain understood how foolish he had been. “Do you know who I am?” he asked.
“No, of course not,” answered the inspector.
“I am the biggest liar on the Mississippi,” Mark Twain told him.

There was a time when many people in Europe had never even heard of tea. This anecdote is about an old woman and her son, who lived before tea-drinking became popular in England.
He was a sea captain, and every time he returned from a far-away country, he brought his mother a gift. Once the young man came back from India with a box of tea for his mother. She didn’t know, anything about tea, but she was proud of her son, and she invited all her friends to come and try the tea. When her son came into the room, he saw cakes and fruit and jam on the table, and a big plate full of brown tea-leaves. His mother and her friends were sitting round the table, eating the leaves with butter and salt. Though they all smiled, it was clear that they didn’t enjoy eating the leaves.
“Where is the tea, Mother?” the captain asked. “Where is the water?”
“The water!” his mother said. “I threw the water away, of course!”
