The Long Tunnel

The door slowly opened. A tall man with a beard stood in the doorway. He was about forty years old. Sheila and Charles did not know him. He was a stranger. 'Who are you?' asked the stranger. 'What do you want?'
Paul, Shelia, and Charles are first year students at university and they are taking about their holidays. Charles and Shelia had no plan, but Paul was going to stay in a cottage, which belongs to his uncle. His uncle was going to Greece and Paul could use the cottage freely, so he invited Charles and Shelia and they made a appointment to meet each other at Llanvoy station in Wales on August 15th.
The appointed day came. Shelia and Charles got there but Paul was not around.
They went into the small cafe and waited him but he didn't come. Half an hour had already passed since the meeting time. 'Paul might have forgotten about our visit', they thought like that and they decided to go to the cottage by themselves.
They arrived there and knocked on the door. However, the man who appeared before them was not Paul but a stranger, and the stranger said "there is no here with the name, Paul and you've made a mistake." 
Though, the cottage belonged to Paul without fail. In that case, who is the stranger? and Where is Paul? What happened to him?

This book was exciting. I want you to see for yourself what happened to Paul.
'The long tunnel' is an important keyword for you to solve the mystery.

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

The Fairy

 "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
