This book was different from all the rest in the library because when the boy opened it up an image of a wolf appeared. The wolf began telling the story. . . Once upon a time there was a wolf, and that wolf is me. I got caught in the biggest pickle of my life. It all started with this little girl and her grandmother. So I was walking through the village one day and noticed that there was a pig loose and running around in front of this house. Being the kind wolf that I am, I did not want the person living at this house to not know that their pig was loose. So I went up to the door and rang the door bell. An old lady answered the door. Before I could even get out a word, this old woman began screaming at the top of her lungs. Of course, this drew everyone's attention over to this old lady's house.
So I gently shoved the old lady into her house and entered the house after her. Once we were in the house I thought that I would be able to explain myself to her, but no! This old lady just kept yelling and yelling. I had never heard such shrieking in my entire life. I was so scared that someone was going to come over and get me, thinking that I was hurting this old lady. So acting out of fright I ate the old lady. I didn't know what else to do. I wasn't hungry at all, but I ate her for the sake of my own life. After I had heard this old lady yell so loud, I had a headache. So I decided that I would take a little nap. I was off in dream world when all of a sudden I heard a knock on the door. Being frightened of what to do I did the first thing that came to my mind. I grabbed the old woman's clothes and stuck them on and then jumped back into bed. I thought that I could trick whoever was at the door that I was this old woman. Now that I was prepared, I told the person to come in and to my surprise the guest was just a little girl.
She said, "Hello, grandmother. I have brought you some custard." I told the little girl thank you and then told her to go away. However, like most little children this little girl started asking me questions. She went on and on with things like "what big eyes you have" and "what big ears you have." I kept trying to think of responses, but I was running out of things to say. Just like the old woman, the little girl would not quit talking. Finally the little girl said, "What big teeth you have."
Not knowing how to respond to the little girl and not wanting a yelling session to begin again, I found that the easiest thing to do was to eat the little girl. I felt terrible, but I think there was no other way. After all this mess, my terrible happening turned into a story by the village folk. Except these people told the story in a way that made me into an evil villain. This story has ruined my life. I can't even show my face in the village anymore.So I am setting the story straight. I was the victim in all of this mess.
The boy put the book back on the shelf. He was very confused. He couldn't figure out who to believe; the village folk or the wolf. After reading the "Retold Story of Little Red Riding Hood," the boy put down the book. He wanted to find another that was just as good as the one he had just seen.

Confessions of a "ghost exorcist"
"Lose again ? My debt are piling up ," I walked out of that gambling den. Knowing my wife would nag at for losing much of my monthly salary.Frustrated , I decided to call out my old friend,Tom, for some catching up. We meet up at a nearby coffee shop and he told me of some schemes to earn money. Upon hearing such worthy "business", I quickly wanted a part in without thorough thinking. As a Chinese, i know that they are very superstitious .So I decided to scam people of their money being a "ghost exorcist".In cahoots with Tom , we decided to target people that are lonely and scare them using superstitious threats .
Finally after a long day searching suitable targets , there was this old lady ,that seems rich and thus, we approach and warn her of being targeted by ghosts. In the end , we managed to persuade her to let us perform rituals to "help" her . Since then we have been scamming old people of their money.I personally feel proud of myself as I was able to earn money from these scams.I didn't know that these old people are so naive to believe me. At first , I thought that those money were meant to be mine . I just merely took back what's mine. Those evil deeds are progressing smoothly until......
During a time when I was doing a ritual for an old widow. She asked me to call back her late husband , thus I had to put up an act of being possessed by her late husband's spirit .However something spiritual happened to my body. I started to feel weak as my limbs were numb and not cooperating with me .Moreover , my head was spinning and my vision started to become blurly and greenish.Soon i blacked out and was awaked by Tom's shouting. He quickly explained to me about what has happened which stuns me upon knowing that i had been possessed by some spirits. After getting up from the floor , i felt an extreme pain on my chest . As the room was hot ,i took off my priest robe .Unexpectedly,i saw red stains on my singlet .Immediately ,I know it was blood. My fingernails had blood too. However , I could not understand why this would happen .
However, the strange phenomena soon resumed at my house. That night when i was changing for bed ,I shouted for what i have seen.A line of bloody words : Stop those evil deeds or u will regret it .I fell to the ground and a string of scary incident rushes through my mind .
The next day I went to take a bath as the same old strange feelings aroused again . I was bathing with hot water as the hot steam began to mist the mirror .When I was drying myself with a towel, words began to appear on the misty mirror. It states : Have u decided to stop your evil deeds .I felt coldness trembling down my spine .
I met up with Tom to tell him my plan of withdrawing from the agreement .Luckily these spiritual happenings stopped when i quitted from playing these bad deeds. From then on , I went to find a proper job and lead a normal life .I also quitted the nemesis of myself ,gambling.Since then i have have been doing much charity work , hoping to cleanse my sins . =P

(b)
The first thought of stepping in this room it should be creative as it was designed by a famous artist but it turn out to my unexpects that the walls were filled with torn posters ,which seems to be sticked onto the wall for a very long time .The colour of the poster has faded and looks dull , compare to modern day's unique poster designs.Moreover he even squeeze many of the posters together and uses those dirty yellowish scoshtape to put those posters together.The two unmatched colours coating the walls makes me feel disgusted.The room was also coated with a dull brown colour not matching the omnious green light

Topics: Having two working parents: What are the pros and cons of having two working parents?
Nowadays, in this modernised society, fathers are not the only sole breadwinner for the family.
Mothers too played their part by joining the workforce .Regarding this topic, there are a few pros and cons.The pros are having two parent working could improve their living condition and need not worry about monthly expenses.Even during challenging periods such as recessions
they also do not have to worry on falling into bankruptcy.Moreover, children can learn to be
more independant and rely on what he wants without the guidance of his parents.The cons are children without monitoring could be influence with bad companies and parents will also spend less time with their children .
Firstly,i feel that having two parents working at the same time could increase the monthly income of the family ,this will defenitely improve the life of the family.The two working parents have the capabilities to afford tuition for their children and other course such as piano , dance , singing .Therefore children were able to have more talent . Research has shown that families with two working parents are less likely to fall into bankruptcy.Therefore having two parents working can provide better lifestyle for their children.
The second pros of having two working parent are children could be more independant and do not have to rely on their parents but themselves .Regarding on cooking , washing their own clothes etc .Boys could also have a preparation on using these skills when they are in army .Less likely to ask help from their parents for simple task and also parents wont have to spoil their children , keeping them self-independant.
With both parents working outside , leaving their children at home without care and concern about them these young children will become curious or influence by bad company about other stuff example : smoking , joining gangs .Moreover they might even commit crimes and creating troubles in schools.

Two parents working at the same time may neglect their children which will result in a unhappy childhood for their children.Parents who are busy at work couldn't spend much time caring their children and concerning their studies .Sometimes even on special holidays , working parents also do not have the time to spend with their children . Therefore, its lent them to being neglected and bringing them an unhappy childhood.
In conclusion , i feel that parents should really consider that both of them are working as its have its beneficial but on the other hand , it also brings quite a risk of disadvantages .
