A ball bounced hard into his chest. Startled, Joseph glared at the thin, tall boy with cropped black hair who had thrown the ball."Gimme that ball," the boy barked in English.Joseph didn't understand the boy's words, but from the boy's tone and sneer, Joseph knew he wasn't apologizing."Watch where you throw," said Joseph, throwing the boy back his ball."Watch where you sit, greenie," the boy snarled back, this time in Yiddish.For a minute both boys stared at each other. Then Joseph's face broke out into a smile. "I am a greenie now," he told the boy, "but soon I'll be a regular American."
