short story

Sunset Spain
I'm a bull. They call me Marshal, which means Marshal. Next to me, there was another bull. It was Monarch, I heard them say, that's what the king means. They also say our scientific name is bullfight.

The blood of the mole
Few customers come to my shop. Most people come to see the animals in the cages, and few buy them. There was no room for anyone behind the counter, so I used to just sit on a worm-eaten chair behind the door and stare hour after hour at the frogs and lizards and snakes and insects.

To be rich is to give up
Once my old friend showed up at my door dressed like this: in a gray, pocketed waistcoat, an army jug slung around his neck, a large backpack and a pair of muddy liberation shoes dangling from the straps.

End
I woke up with every inch of my body aching and stiff. I managed to bring my legs over to the floor when I felt the soothing, soft, and comforting carpet beneath me as it began to soothe all the aches away. I got up for my normal routine. I looked outside in complete terror. That's when I froze and let everything sink in. Flames were reaching as if they were alive, Green clouds hovered in the sky, and Hatred and death pierced through my nose. All I could hear were the helpless cries all around me sinking deeper and deeper into my skull.

Where do our fears come from
There is a deep fear in everyone's heart of losing control of the things around us, of getting sick, getting old, or losing what is most dear to us.

Journey to the iPhone
Robert Shoesmith climbed into the yellow tent he had pitched outside the Apple store in London's Covent Garden, but it didn't help. He still shivered in his sleeping bag. The homeless man who used to live here came over and said, "Hey! Are you homeless, too?"

Wendi Deng
When media mogul Rupert Murdoch was attacked with shaving cream during a parliamentary hearing in Britain, former volleyball player Wendi Deng fended off the attacker with a powerful smash. With a slap in the face, Wendi wiped out negative reviews from rating agencies, sending News Corp shares up 6%. The media called her shot a "golden shot."

An old man with wings
On the third day of the rain, the Pelayos were inside killing piles of crabs. Later, Pelayo had to throw them into the sea across the rain-flooded yard, because his new born child had a fever overnight, and he thought it was the crabs that brought bad luck. In the middle of the day, when the light was very dim, Pelayo came home from throwing crabs and could vaguely see something wriggling and groaning in the middle of the yard. When he got closer, he saw an old man lying in the mud. He was hampered by huge wings and could not get up no matter how hard he tried.

Enslaved Asian elephants
Elephants carrying wood for people in Southeast Asian countries is nothing new. Spurred by the high price of wood and furniture on the market, countless loggers have been moving into the primeval forests of the Mekong Basin in recent years, openly logging and even illegally logging. But the roads in these rainforest areas are rough and muddy, and transportation is very difficult. All the wood that is cut has to be carried from the mountains to the river, and then transported by cargo ship to the dock on the road, so the domesticated elephants are the main means of transportation. Throughout the dry season, hundreds of domesticated elephants carry heavy logs from virgin forest to river-side beaches, a painstaking process.

A curtain call
I still can't help but be moved by my mother's attention to the curtain call of the actors after the theater performance.

My alternative study abroad record
Saint-etienne is a city with a pleasant climate, a famous French football team, and football legends Aime Jacquet and Michel Platini. The university of Monet Saint-Etienne is also home to the National University of France. There is a direct train to Paris, and the city is also home to the famous handmade chocolate Weiss, which, like Hermes and Louis Vuitton, is a symbol of supreme taste for French socialites. For Chinese girl He Ling Wei, her 4-year undergraduate life at The University of Jean Monet Saint-Etienne is just like this famous city. Her supreme quality comes from her unique characteristics and her inner confidence and strength.

My Adventures Journey
As I walked on the beach, my feet were sinking into the soft sand, and the water was splashing on my bear legs; how refreshing I thought to myself. I enjoyed watching the sea returning to its course and depositing small white bubbles on the edge of the beach. I observed pelicans plunging into the sea, fetching small fish for their nourishment. With the help of the smooth breeze, the seagulls were gliding in the air spreading their wings along the way.
