Charlie Chaplin is a great comic for his native land Britain, but even more so for the world. On the
stage he often wore tiny moustaches, huge pants and tailcoats that were perhaps more characteristic of
Europeans and may be not much of the British. Since more than half of the roles Chaplin played were
in silent films, people throughout the world had no difficulty understanding his films. With sound
movies, Chaplin created a nonsense language that sounded like no known nationality and was accepted
and appreciated by people all over the world. For most of his lifetime he did not stay in his mother
country; he traveled throughout the world to appear on stage for people of different nationalities.

It is difficult to get a welfare client’s wheelchair repaired．Once my wheelchair needed repairing，
and I notified my caseworker. She gave me a lecture that I hadn’t taken good care of my wheelchair.
Then she told me that I must have the patience to wait until she had the time to report my wheelchair
conditions to my medical worker. Then the medical worker called the wheelchair repair companies
to get the cheapest bid and informed the main welfare office at the state capital．It took them another
several days to consider the matter. When they finally got my wheelchair repaired，I had been confined
to bed for more than half a month．
