- A Family Resemblance
- Everyone says that I [verb] like my mother. In my childhood I used to [verb]. It made me angry with my [noun]. I thought that it was God's [noun] which was wrapped around my [plural body part] -- that my [adjective] features were not my due, but [past verb] to me by some misunderstanding. All that remained for me to [verb] of my [noun] was that I might grow [adjective] to be a model of what [noun] should be, as one reads it in some [adjective] poem. When the [noun] came for my marriage, an astrologer was sent, who consulted my [body part] and said, "This girl has [adjective] signs. She will become a [adjective] wife." And all the [plural noun] who heard it said: "[exclamation]! For she resembles her [noun]."
