The Elves and the Shoemaker

I read a book: The Elves and the Shoemaker.

There are very poor shoemakers.
If they put leathers on the table, the leather changes into great shoes in next morning.
By selling the great shoes, they became very very rich people.
They thought, "Who was making all fancy shoes?"
When they observed in the midnight, two little elves was making the fancy shoes.
The shoemakers thanked the two little elves and made elves' clothes.
The event made elves happy.

This story made me very happy.
This is a good story.
I am happy to know that the shoemakers became very rich.

 "Today in Henry's birthday and it is yhe best day ever.There are bright balloons, fun games, a yummy cake, and lots of crackers for Mudge too!"

Different Worlds

'In my world there are no birds singing. There are no noisy men working on the roads. No people leaving bars late at night shouting each other. No babies crying.' Sam is like any other teenage girl except that she was born deaf. Now she is  in love with Jim, but are their worlds too different? Sam is a woman who is deaf by nature and she is in love with a man who is working in a supermarket. She go there not so much to buy something need as to see him. This behavior is cute. This story is easy to read, but I think that there is not very much content in this story. Reference Johnson, Margaret. (2003). Different World. Cambridge; Cambridge University Press.

Shirley Homes and the Cyber Thief

"Shirley Homes, private investigator.Like Sherlock Holmes a hundred years ago, she lives in London, enjoys working on difficult cases, and hassome helpful friends. She understands people, is a good listener, and of course, she is clever with computers. In today's world that is important, because a lot of crime is cyber crime." ( From the book cover) The unfolding of this book is  very interesting for me, but it is difficult for me to maintain concentration to read this book. I was recommended this book by Asahi, and I am interested in cyber crime and I like using computers, so I thought I want to read this book. I want to be a cooporative person like Shirley Homes.
