    ¡§Scrooge¡¨ is a classic story that emphasis the ¡§what¡¨ against ¡§what if¡¨. It is the story of a wealthy, miserly businessman who does not know any joy in life nor wills for anyone else to taste the same. He use to have heart but it died some years before. The spirits of Christmas past, present ...read more

This was early of course in history, population much smaller but the people had learned a brand new technology: how to make bricks. Now their ...read more

    Of all the achievements of human genius, nothing is more wonderful than language. And yet, it is also true that nothing is more destructive than language.
