One Polack arrived in New York seeking his fame and fortune.

Somewhat nervously he began to ascend, rung by rung, all the way to the top of the fifty-story edifice. When he got there, a slender, blond, blue-eyed boy seated on the ledge of the building smiled sweetly at him. “Hi, there!” he said. “I am Cess!”
