Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of ‘breath’to me.

The road said, “I don’t care if the tiger eats you. People could not get along too well without me. Yet all day and all night people step on me without even a ‘thank you’.”The tiger was ready to eat the good man. Just then a dog came by. “What is happening?”asked the dog.
