The Cart
by Cesar Aira
In fact, the cart had spent the whole night goingaround and around, up and down the aisles, slowand quiet as a star, without ever hesitating or comingto a stop. It did the rounds of its domain, mysterious,inexplicable, its miraculous essence concealed bythe banal appearance of a shopping cart like anyother. The employees and the customers were toobusy to detect this secret phenomenon, which madeno difference, after all, to anyone or anything. I wasthe only one to notice it, I think. Actually, I’m sure:attention is scarce among human beings, and agreat deal of it was required in this case.

The Gift of the Magi
by O.Henry
In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which noletter would go, and an electric button from which nomortal finger could coax a ring. Also appertainingthereunto was a card bearing the name “Mr. JamesDillingham Young.” The “Dillingham” had been flungto the breeze during a former period of prosperitywhen its possessor was being paid $30 per week.Now, when the income was shrunk to $20, theletters of “Dillingham” looked blurred, as though theywere thinking seriously of contracting to a modestand unassuming D. But whenever Mr. JamesDillingham Young came home and reached his flatabove he was called “Jim” and greatly hugged byMrs. James Dillingham Young, already introduced toyou as Della. Which is all very good.
