An Unpleasant Fishing Experience

        One day, Bill went fishing with his dad. They brought along an inflatable, yellow, rubber raft with them. They expected they could have a big dinner and Mom already prepared a recipe to cook the fish.  They felt excited because they imagined having a rich harvest of fish.

        With all the preparation, they jumped into the boat and sailed away from the shore. They started fishing.  Dad and Bill worked well.  Dad put the bait into the fishhook and whenever Bill got a fish, he removed it from the hook. Soon, they got a full bucket of fishes.

        Suddenly, Bill felt something very heavy and he was not strong enough to pull the fishing pole. So, he passed it to Dad. Dad pulled it with full strength and unfortunately, the fishhook bounced back and cut the rubber boat. Immediately, the boat deflated and sank slowly. They were scared because they thought they were at the middle of the sea. They yelled for help nervously.

        While they were struggling, Dad found that his feet could touch the sandy ground. He held his son with his arms. They were relieved because it was safe. However, the whole bucket fell into the sea and all the fishes swam away.

Ophelia and Her Servant - Part 4

   Suddenly, she heard a voice saying, “This happens because you always treat people badly. So, you should be punished!”

   “Who are you?” Ophelia screamed nervously.
   “I’m the genie from the Story of Aladdin,” replied the strange voice.

   Ophelia was now in the position of her servant and she understood clearly how rude she was before. She regretted deeply for what she had done.

   “Sorry, please forgive me and help me to return to my original life. I promise that I’ll be a nice and polite girl in the future,” begged Ophelia.

   “Okay! Close your eyes and turn around for ten times. Then, lie down on the floor with your head facing downward,” commanded the genie.


   Ophelia did exactly as what the genie said and as soon as she lay down, her body rose up into the air and suddenly, she fell down accurately on her bed.  She was glad to see that she became ‘Ophelia’ again and she kept her promise forever.
