My favorite Urban Myths

 I have three favorite stories.

The first one is story “Cheap and Easy” on page 6. It is a story that a library needed to move to new bigger library and the library found a good idea to minimize the books to move. The library’s idea is to allow people to take 6 books irregularly. Normally, only 4 books are allowed to check-out, so People can enjoy choosing a lot of books. The library can minimize the books to move to new library and the library staffs can move them without extra cost. The library’s idea is happy for both people in the town and library.I could not find this idea, and I think I need to be a little flexible.

The next story “Hit and Hear” on page 9. It is a story that an about 75 years-old man who couldn’t hear anything in his left ear regains hearing in his left ear by an accident.The bus hit a car and the man hit his head on the bus floor when he was a small boy, and from that day, he could only hear in his right ear. However, when the man met his friends for a drink, he laughed and laughed and fell out of his chair. He hit his head on the table and the bus ticket fell out of his left ear. From that accident, he can hear in his both ears.This story is very strange but is very good story for me.

The last story “Dead Cold” on page 30. It is a story that a woman took a frozen chicken and put it under her hat which has high height which you may have an image that Russian people wear. However, the frozen chicken frozen her head and killed her.In Japan, we usually say “Jigojitoku” (自業自得) and I think that it is a good story to tell that your acts will ultimately come back to you.
