The
Lonely Landy
One
day, there was a porcupine named Landy. He was lonely. No one wanted to play
with him, because they were afraid of his spike.“Dear
Landy. We don’t want to play with you because your spikes are too sharp. We
don’t want you to hurts us,” said Cici the rabbit one day.“Cici
is right, Landy. It is not because you’re bad or rude to us, no, Landy. Just
because of your spikes. They will stab us if we close to you,” said Tito the
rooster.
Landy
felt lonely. Landy spent most of the time day dreaming at the river bank, “I
would be happy if there were no spikes on my body.”Suddenly,
Kuku the turtle appeared from the river. He came to Landy and said, “Landy,
what are you thinking of?”“Oh,
nothing,” Landy replied.“Don’t
lie to me, Landy! Who knows I can help you,” said Kuku wisely. Then he sat
beside Landy. He wasn’t afraid of Landy’s spikes.Shortly,
Landy told his problem. Kuku nodded his head. He said, “Poor you. But it isn’t
your fault. I know, your spikes are very useful and helpful for you. They will
realize it someday. Trust me!”“Thanks,
Kuku. You are my best friend.”
One
day, Koko the frog held his birthday party. He invited all his friends, including
Landy. But he decided not to come. He didn’t want to mess up the party. “I’ll
come with you Landy. I’ll tell everyone that you’re harmless,” said Kuku.
Finally Landy attended the party. Everyone enjoyed it.
Suddenly
Tito screamed, “Help….help.…! The evil wolf is coming. Save yourself!” Then,
everyone saved their lives, except Kuku and landy. Kuku pulled his head and his
leg into his shell. And Landy rolled his body into a ball.Unintentionally,
the evil wolf touched Landy. Of course, the spike pricked him. He screamed,
“Ouch!” Since his foot was bleeding, he didn’t chase Landy’s friends any
longer. Then, he ran away.“Horray….horray….!
Long live Landy! He saved our lives,” said Cici and her friends. They thanked
him from then on. Landy wasn’t lonely anymore.

Once
upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The
parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name
of the place where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the
smartest parrot but he could not understand why the parrot would not say
Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano however the bird kept not
saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to
the bird but then he got very angry. “You stupid bird!” pointed the man to the
parrot. “Why can’t you say the word? Say Catano! Or I will kill you” the man
said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it.
Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say Catano or
I’ll kill you”. The bird kept not to say the word of Catano.
One day, after he had been trying so
many times to make the bird say Catano, the man really got very angry. He could
not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. There
were four old chickens for next dinner “You are as stupid as the chickens. Just
stay with them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble; “You know, I
will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you
too, stupid parrot”. After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the
chicken house. He opened the door and was very surprised. He could not believe
what he saw at the chicken house. There were three death chickens on the floor.
At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the last old
chicken; “Say Catano or I’ll kill you”.
In
the town of Verona there lived two families, the Capulets and the Montagues.
They engaged in a bitter feud. Among the Montagues was Romeo, a hot-blooded
young man with an eye for the ladies. One day, Romeo attended the feast of the
Capulets', a costume party where he expected to meet his love, Rosaline, a
haughty beauty from a well-to-do family. Once there, however, Romeo's eyes felt
upon Juliet, and he thought of Rosaline no more.
The vision of Juliet had been invading his every thought. Unable to sleep, Romeo returned late that night to the Juliet's bedroom window. There, he was surprised to find Juliet on the balcony, professing her love for him and wishing that he were not a "Montague", a name behind his own. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Romeo was ready to deny his name and professed his love. The two agreed to meet at nine o’clocks the next morning to be married.
Early the next morning, Romeo came to Friar Lawrence begging the friar to marry him to Juliet. The Friar performed the ceremony, praying that the union might someday put an end to the feud between the two families. He advised Romeo kept the marriage a secret for a time.
On the way home, Romeo chanced upon his friend Mercutio arguing with Tybalt, a member of the Capulet clan. That quarreling last caused Merquito died. Romeo was reluctant no longer. He drew his sword and slew Tybalt died. Romeo realized he had made a terrible mistake. Then Friar Lawrence advised Romeo to travel to Mantua until things cool down. He promised to inform Juliet.
In the other hand, Juliet's father had decided the time for her to marry with Paris. Juliet consulted Friar Lawrence and made a plot to take a sleeping potion for Juliet which would simulate death for three days. The plot proceeded according to the plan. Juliet was sleeping in death.
Unfortunately, The Friar's letter failed to reach Romeo. Under the cover of darkness, he broke into Juliet's tomb. Romeo kissed the lips of his Juliet one last time and drank the poison. Meanwhile, the effects of the sleeping potion wear off. Juliet woke up calling for Romeo. She found her love next to her but was lying dead, with a cup of poison in his hand. She tried to kiss the poison from his lips, but failed. Then Juliet put out his dagger and plunged it into her breast. She died
