Early last month there were great sales at the Mall on winter coats. My friend and I went shopping for a winter coat before our scholarships arrived; we wanted to be careful to choose something cheap, yet beautiful. My friend had earlier browsed through several shops, and ended up at J.C. Penney's and Braun's.
She brought me to Braun's first, and pulled out two coats which had been separated out earlier. After we had tried them both, we went to Penney's. I could not decide which coat to choose. As we were browsing around Penney's, I saw three mannequins and said, "Hey this one would look good on me!" But as I tried to touch the coat, the mannequin turned and said, "Do you mind? It is my coat." On realizing that the mannequin was a real lady, we quickly walked out of the store and back to Braun's.
Looking at the first coat back at Braun's, I grabbed it without any second thoughts and paid the cashier. The cashier said, "Can't keep your hands off of that coat, can you!" Smiling at her, I wondered if only she had known the truth.

Amnesia
Tom is a nervous and forgetful husband. One day, coming back from his office, he recalled that his wife wanted him to send her letter on his way to work that morning. After examining his suitcase, he found no letter in it. Thus, he complacently told his wife, "Honey, I have sent your letter off. I am not forgetful, like I used to be."
"Sorry, my darling, the letter is still on the desk. I forgot to give it to you this morning." his wife said.
"Sorry, my darling, the letter is still on the desk. I forgot to give it to you this morning." his wife said.
Philosophy
The incessant endeavor of listening and speaking do me good.
We usually teach the importance of clothes to children by doing without it on a certain day.
It make not too relaxed today for tomorrow and not to be faithful today.
Nobody cannot break out IBM's castle.
War gives death of earth to us.
Finally, Dust as each other makes a mountain as all of persons, there is a Korean saying.
Liberty is the basement of freedom.
Money cannot buy love, nor poorness.
My ritual is Buddha.

I went downtown last weekend. It's very cold. The large neon-sign was brighten on the top of the building. It was to advertise for samsung watch. The advertising was changed immediately and continued. IT was very interesting to me. But people seemed not to watch the advertising on the top of the building, because it's too cold to make a slow walk. But in my case, I had an appointment with my friend at 8:00. It was just 6 o'clock. And so I had better spend 2 hours.
I walked down the street which was very cloudy. When I saw some clothing store where there were beautiful mannequins in the window. I stopped and looked at the mannequins. There were really beautiful and seemed to be real women. After 10 minutes, I found they're real women. I watched they went out the window for a short break time.
Even though I walked long distance, I should wait one and a half hours to meet my friend. I could not wait any more. And so, I changed my mind to get a dinner along. I tried to find some Korean food restaurants. But I couldn't find a good place. There were only instant restaurants or western restaurants. Finally I could find a Korean restaurant though it looked like not a good place. I couldn't choose to go or not.

My Misunderstood Pain
One day, I had an ache on the right side of the abdomen. It was like a prickling. At that time, I walked like a lame since my muscle was pulled. When I tried to lift up my right leg, I couldn't lift it up. Besides, since I have chronic appendicitis, I thought the reason for the ache was my chronic appendicitis problem. From that morning, I was in pain and my pain continued until that night. I was very scared and I called my friend to ask for her help. She also was surprised and called a taxi to go to the emergency room for the hospital. I spent around three hours in that hospital, and I had a blood test. After my blood test, I found that the reason for the pain was a muscle problem. Since I just had found out that a swimming pool had been near to my apartment, I had gone swimming three times during that weekday. It was my first time to go swimming in the U.S.A. If that pain had been real appendicitis, I would have had to have surgery and my parents would be worried about my appendicitis, so after I realized that that pain was a muscle problem I felt very comfortable, and my friend and I laughed.
Matthew's Life
Many years ago a very rich family had a son called Matthew.
All his life Matthew never felt a love for school or his job, but in his mind he had great goals, one of them was to be a doctor.
His parents always made him to go to school. When he studied at the university he always dreamed that he was the best student of all of them. Then he started to obtain bad grades and he got really confused about everything that was happening. He could never obtain all he desired, nor could he understand the situation. Then he began to have serious problems with the society, and now Matthew is in jail.
This story teaches you that the higher you go, the harder the fall is, if you don't make any effort to be better.

The Little Girl and the Wolf
A long time ago, an old hunter had a daughter named Mary, who was clever, brave and beautiful. She was a good hunter, as good as her father.
One sunny afternoon, her father told her to bring a basket of fruit to her grandmother, who lived on the other side of the dark forest. Unfortunately, a big and bad wolf was waiting in the dark forest for her appearance.
The stupid wolf stopped in front of the little girl, and asked where she was going. AFter the wolf found out where her grandmother's house was, the wolf disappeared into the woods and ran quickly to Mary's grandmother's house.
When Mary arrived at her grandmother's house, she felt that there was something strange and dangerous there. She quietly and carefully opened the door. She saw that there was somebody in bed with a night cap and nightgown on. She approached nearer to the bed and she discovered that it wasn't her grandmother, but the stupid wolf. She quickly took out the gun from the basket and shot the wolf dead.
Although it is an entertaining story, it tells us that it is not as easy to fool a little girl as it used to be.
