Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp

“Be careful, and bring me the lamp quickly!”(p11)
       One day Aladdin’s uncle, Abanazar, arrives in the city. ‘I am a rich man,’he tells Aladdin and his mother. He gives them gold, buys Aladdin a beautiful new coat, and wants to help them. Aladdin is very happy. 

I like the story, Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp, because I have watched this animation that was made by Walt Disney  Company for a long time. However, this is a little different from the animation.     So I can read with flesh feeling ☺︎

The Monkey's Paw

'Look at it,' the soldier answered. It's a littele paw ... a monkey's paw.' (p. 6)

     The Monkey’s Paw is a short story about a family who has a visit from a man possessing a strange monkey’s paw. The paw is supposed to grant three wishes. But be careful what you wish because a person’s third wish is usually for death. It is a little scary but I enjoyed reading this book to the end!!

Remember Miranda

I never met Miranda, but every day I look at her photograph, next to the telephone in the kitchen, the picture of her with her children.(P, 1)

Cathy is a girl who is going to look after the two chidrens. Thier father is not kind to her at first, but the last, he loves Cathy. I do not understand his mind. And the title is "Remember Miranda" so I thought Miranda is heroine but Cathy is heroine. If  I do not read the book, I would not know the means.
