"The Ice Woman"is the tale of an Ojibway nebaunaube — a lake mermaid — discovered encased in a block of ice by a fur trader at the edge of a lake during the spring thaw. In "Paper Son," a Chinese houseboy to a small-town doctor and his sick wife alleviates her pain by making opium from the poppies in her garden.
