Part I — Salutations to Florida
Do you want a cigar?
The first day in Florida while I was running, I saw a young man smoking a cigar. He said to me, "Do you want to have a cigar?"I waved my hand and said, "No, thank you."
The man ran after me and said, "You thank me and you are not taking one?"
This time I got mad at him, and he stopped bothering me.
