I am really excited about the reading options I have explored and chosen so far. Some of these are stories I will be revisiting and some are entirely new. The stories from the Asian/African and the Native American units specifically I did not recognize but I am eager to read them. I am especially happy to read the Illiad and the Canterbury Tales which I have read before and I really like, however, I am also happy to be reading new stories too.

One thing people like to know about me is my travel exp...

There once was a poor man called Sentaro who hated that he had very little money and had very few possessions in a very small house. He hated his meager life, however, he was never able to get a good job and didn't want to put into the effort to begin his own business. He heard of CEOs and company owner's who made millions of dollars and lived lives of luxury. Sentaro saw those people and wished he were them. He dreamed he was them. He even prayed for it. One night, he was so unhappy he couldn't sleep and instead, he fantasized his life as a billionaire elite. He was so focused on the imagination he almost didn't hear someone knocking on his door. However, it was an insistent type of rapping that quickly forced his attention. Hurriedly, he opened the door and found what could have been an executive's assistant. A young man wearing a crisp, tailored suit and sunglasses despite the fact that it was nighttime. The man thrust out his hands as soon as the door opene...
