A book I had recently read--------Chinese Tales of the Supernatural

I was just passing by the library when i found the title of this book attracts my eyeball.I had once been a supernatural tales fan, so I had a quick scan upon the book.
I soon found out that the book contains of 14 stories,any most of them haven't seen before!!!
To my excitement I immediately borrowed it and went to read.
This is the list of the story in this storybook:

1. The bookworn
2. If She's pretty, She must be a ghost
3. The man who gave the devil a fright
4. To steal a plum
5. The man who could walk through walls
6. Sip Sui-Seen
7. Land of the beautiful
8. The drunken Chrysanthemum
9. A clean cut
10. To paass an examination
11. The rare rook
12. Judge zee
13. The snake Charmer
14. The painting on the wall

Although they are all supernatural stories, but they aren't scary.The main reason of the story told by the ancesters is to warned and give the youngsters a guide to this world.
I'll give you all one example.I picked the 5th story"The Man Who Could Walk Through Walls".

The story is about an idle rich man who wanted to learn magic from a Taoist Monk.He went to the Taoist Monk to learn magic and the Monk demanded him to cut woods for weeks.But the man didn't obey the order, he think that he had came for magic and not for cutting wood.The Monk knew that and didn't say anything.One day, the man came before the Monk and ask him to teach him magic.The monk said ok and he showed him how to walk through the walls. The man was so happy because he had learnt an amazaing magic, and he rushed back to his home and showed to the people's he knew.But instead of passing through the wall he knock on his head instead!!!!

So this story tells us that if you never put effort on anything, there will be no payback.
The story is so simple but the advice given us is so useful in our life.
So u should try and read it too!It will guide you to a better life.
