Papa, snake and I

I enjoyed reading this story. This story was about a snake that was killing a farmers chickens and fowls but they did not know it was a snake until their kids found it. The snake killed the neighbors dog because it threatened the snake and therefor it bit him. The dogs owner found the dog dead and confronted the kids parents, to which they had no idea about the dog being bit. The dogs owner wanted $700 for compensation or he was going to turn them in to the administration.

Snapshots of a Wedding

This story was very controversial. It depicted two women, one who was educated and one who was not. The Educated woman would walk around with her nose in that air to signify that she thought she was more important that the others. The other less educated girl was just "going with the flow" she was liked but most of the people, maybe because there were not to many educated people in that region. Some people just think they are better than people just because they have a education but in reality there are some very good people in the world that are very smart but did not go to school to get and education.

The coffee-cart Girl

This was a ok story about love. A woman has a coffee-cart that she runs a business out of to make money, and she has a couple of regulars that come buy everyday to but items, but one of them sees a ring on her finger and becomes very jealous and puts a knife to her throat and threatens her. She tells him that it is just a method of payment from another customer but he doesn't believe her. The man doesn't threaten her but said he was sorry. He never say her again. That was strange what would poss a man to do that to a girl he hardly knew. I guess many things drive a man nuts...

Reflection in a cell

This man sounds like he doesn't not like rich white people, in fact he despises them. Deep down he wishes he had the money like them but he is angry that he has nothing. When their family and friends left them they turned to a like of crime. He talks about his first encounter with the law out side a bar. He doesn't sound like he is a happy man being locked up but the doesn't seem to have any remorse either. In the end he talks about two possibilities to which he wins.

Protista

This story is about a man that was found guilty of numerous political crimes was exiled to a very baroness place. His wife left him but left a sign to her return, bus she knew she would never return. he was going crazy because there was no water and he started having hallucinations. His father told him about a man fish which he thought he was one, and he was found dead in a river but police. he dream pt of being a tree and seeing his wife that had left him sitting on the tree and seeing her weep. He was a very mad man because he lost his wife and the thought he was a man fish that had to return to the river with his friends. So he wrote his wife a farewell letter and then left...

The Betrayal

This story is very political. It seems like this gentlemen played a big role in a youth's organization. He spoke at them often and had his opinions. On meeting in particular there was opposing sides there and one side was condoning the organization and the doctor did night like that so he jumped out of his seat and spoke in a stern voice. Everything calmed down and then the meeting proceeded and then they got fired up again, but this time there was a large fight that broke out and the police were called in and he left the scene in disappointment.

The Bridegroom

I would have thought this would be about a wedding but it was not. In the beginning it starts out sounding like he will be getting married but then fads to his son's cooking. He mentions that he taught his how to cook koeksusters, which was his favorite. Then it transitions to them being in a camp, but it doesn't say what kind of camp. They are sitting around the fire playing music and then others join and before you know it there is quite a lot of people listening to them playing by the fire, to them was very enjoyable. I thought it was a good story but the title is misleading...
