After reading# 1
To the Persian
I am leaving this letter for you, because once you were my enemies. Now, of cource, I have only friend. People scream when they see my face. I am cleaver, it is true, but no woman can ever love me. And how can a man live without love?
When I was a child, I was very sorry. My mother never kissed me. She didn't want to look at me because I was so ugly. And years later, when I was a man, I did many terrible things. I know that, and I am free now. But I did one good thing in my life. Christine is unhappy. She can marry the Vicomte and be happy.
But I can never forget her wonderful voice, and I cannot live without her.
And so, goodbye.
Erik

Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!
