Rich Man, Poor Man

The official held out is hand. 'Identity Card,' he said.
'Excuse me. I don't understand,' I replied.
'Your Identity Card,' the  official said again. 'Give me your Identity Card.'
'What is an Identity Card?' I asked.
One day an old man, Adam got a letter from his son, Saul, who is making a lot of money in a foreign country. He called to his wife, Martha and told about the letter and called to a school teacher because he couldn't read and write.
The school teacher read the letter, and told Adam and Martha that Saul sent them a money order. The sum was one hundred pounds. 'One hundred pounds!' Adam couldn't believe it but felt happy. If he had so much money, he could buy some good food, drink, and many things for his farm and his house.
The next morning he got up very early and went to Darpur to go the Post Office and get much money. After he arrived there he gave the money order to the official, and he was sure to get a lot of money immediately. However, if he wanted to get any money for the money order, he needed his Identity Card.
He don't have Identity Card so he tries to make it, but Identity Card brings him a bad experience.

The title of this book is "Rich Man, Poor Man" but two rich and poor man don't appear and a man falls upon Rich and Poor. Reading this book, I felt very sorry for an old man, Adam and I wanted to sympathize with him. 
Now, could he get one hundred pounds safely? Please check it with your own eyes.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

イメージ
Once upon a time there were three Bears: a Little Wee Bear, a Middle-sized Bear, and a Great Big Bear, who lived together in a house of their own, in a wood. Each of them had their own bowls, chairs and beds.  One day, after they cooked the porridge for breakfast, and poured it into their porridge-bowls, they walked out into the wood to cool the porridge so that they may not burn on their mouths. Then, a little girl called Goldilocks, who was not well-brought-up, opened the door and entered the bears house arbitrarily. She saw the porridge on the table and she set about helping herself. First, she tried to eat the porridge of the Great Big Bear, but it was too hot for her. Also, the porridge of the Middle-sized Bear was too cold for her to eat it. Last, she found that the porridge of the Little Wee Bear was just right for her and she ate it all up. After a meal, she was so tired that she wanted to sit down in a chair. Just like when she ate porridge, chairs of Middle-sized and Great Bi

 "You are so pretty, so good and courteous, that I cannot help giving you a gift."  Once upon a time there was a widow, who had two daughters. The elder was so disagreeable and so proud, and the younger was kind, polite, and one of the most beautiful girls. The mother disliked the younger and made her work continually. One day, when the younger had to draw water and was at the fountain, she met a poor woman, who asked her for drink. The younger was very kind and she willingly gave it to the poor woman. The poor woman thanked to her and she gave the younger a special gift. It was that either a flower or a jewel came out of her mouth every time she spoke.  When the younger got  back to her mother and talked to her, there came out of her mouth two roses, two pearls, and two large diamonds. The mother was very surprised and heard the reason why it was going to be like that. The mother understood the situation and she tried to get the elder to do the same. However, this is the beg
