  An Old Man Lived in the Village An old man lived in the village. He was one of the most unfortunate people in the world. The whole village was tired of him; he was always gloomy, he constantly complained and was always in a bad mood. The longer he lived, the more bile he was becoming and the more poisonous were his words. People avoided him, because his misfortune became contagious. It was even unnatural and insulting to be happy next to him. But one day, when he turned eighty years old, an incredible thing happened. Instantly everyone started hearing the rumour:   “An Old Man is happy today, he doesn’t complain about anything, smiles, and even his face is freshened up.”   The whole village gathered together. The old man was asked: Villager: What happened to you? “Nothing special. Eighty years I’ve been chasing happiness, and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That’s why I’m happy now.” – An Old Man  

Struggls in Common People's Life

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off the burners.

He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.Turning to her, he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?” “Potatoes, eggs and coffee,” she hastily replied. “Look closer” he said, “and touch the...

Story Analysis of 'The Mermaid' When I was a little girl, I always loved fairytales. Thanks to Disney, I always fantasied being a princess in some faraway land where I would meet my prince charming. Although becoming a princess is pretty much unrealistic, I am still hoping to meet my prince charming one day. Disney has been known for their retelling of famous stories and romanticizing them.  Even knowing this, their version has always been my favorite because there tends to always be a happily ever after. The Little Mermaid, especially has always been one of my favorite movies out of the princess collection for many reasons; but after actually reading the original story by Hans Cristian Andersen, it has made me realize that there are more underlining meanings to the story than just the princess getting her happily ever after.In the Disney version of the Little Mermaid, Ariel is the youngest daughter of King Triton, who is the sea king.  Even though Arie...
