Tatiana Nervously Looked Down At The Present. "Thank You." Gifts Were Not Something She Was Used To. Wrapped Gifts? Unheard Of, Even When They Came Wrapped Only In Plain Brown Paper.
"No. Open First. Then Say Thank You."
She Smiled. "What Do I Do? Do I Take The Paper Off?"
"Yes. You Tear It Off."

"It's Just Paper."
"If It's Just Paper, Why Did You Wrap It?"
"Will You Please Just Open My Present?" Said Alexander
