Synopsis
A
mother
is
enjoying
a
pleasant
afternoon
in
the
park,
watching
her
daughter
play
on
the
playground,
when
a
sweaty
jogger
approaches
her.
He
has
an
itch
on
his
back
that
he
just
can’t
reach.
First,
he
asks
to
borrow
her
newspaper
to
try
to
stop
the
stubborn
itch.
When
that
fails
to
do
the
trick,
he
asks
for
her
assistance.
Appalled,
the
woman
refuses
to
touch
a
stranger
and
then
scolds
her
daughter
for
kissing
the
boo
boo
of
an
unfamiliar child.
