the same language? And if so, what language will it be? Will it be any of today's languages? Or will there be a new one?
As more people travel to other countries and learn to enjoy the food of those countries, will all food become international? Already in a place like New York you can get real Italian pasta, Chinese Chow Mein, French cheeses, etc.
As machines take over more and more of our lives, will there be anything handmade in the world in 10,000 years? Or will we lose the ability to paint, make clay pots, weave cloth and carve wood?

How the Alphabet Was Made
(after Rudyard Kipling)
1. One day a little girl Taffy (this name means Best Beloved) went carp-fishing with her Daddy Tegumai. Presently she began to giggle, and her Daddy said, "Don't be silly, child." Taffy sat mousy-quiet for ten whole minutes. Then she said, "Daddy, I've thinked of a secret surprise. You make a noise—any sort of noise."
"Ah!" said Tegumai. "Will that do to begin with?"
"Yes," said Taffy. "You look just like a carp-fish with its mouth open. Do say ah, Daddy, and keep your mouth open at the end. I'm going to draw a carp-fish's mouth wide-open."
"What for?" said her Daddy.
"Don't you see?" said Taffy, scratching away on the bark. "That will be our little secret surprise. When I draw a carp-fish with his mouth open it will remind you of that аЛ-noise."
"Really?" said her Daddy, in the voice that grown-ups use when they are truly attending. "Go on, Taffy."
"I can't draw all of a carp-fish, but I can draw something that means a carp-fish's mouth. Well, here's a pretence carp-fish. Here's just his mouth, and that means ah." And she drew this. (1)
2. "That's not bad," said Tegumai, "but you've forgotten the feeler that hangs across his mouth." And he drew this. (2)
"Now I'll copy it," said Taffy. "Will you understand this when you see it?" And she drew this. (3)
