4 . “Late again, Mavis! How many times I have told you to come back in time to help me cook dinner?” asked Mrs. Muntari.
“But, Mum, I can’t just walk away in the middle of a game!” said Mavis.
“You shouldn’t be playing the game in the first place.”
“But, Mum, why can’t I? You never tell Adibe or Senze not to play football. I had to leave the game at half time and rush back so you wouldn’t get angry with me,” said Mavis.
“You are a girl! It is as simple as that. Boys and girls have different roles to play. I have 11 hungry mouths to feed and I need your help! You are the oldest girl not working, so it is your job to help me. That’s the way of our people. Now go and fry some more chicken...”
At the dinner table, Adibe and Senze were excitedly talking about today’s game, while eating the chicken Mavis had fried. They talked about how Mavis scored in the first half with a power shot from the halfway line. It was a great goal as their team was losing by 0-1 at that time.
Dad came home then and brought the boys a local newspaper, in which there was news about football scouts from England visiting Ghana (加纳). These scouts had asked to be allowed to visit schools to look for players of the future. Adibe and Senze looked at each other and cheered, “Wow, I’m going to be like Essien!” And they started arguing which one would make it as a superstar.
Mavis decided to take this chance. She stole out of home. When she arrived at the playground, one player happened to get injured (受伤) and the coach was worried. “I can take his place! ”Mavis shouted.

6 . Franz Kafka was a famous writer. He never married and had no children. Once, at the age of 40, when Kafka was walking through a park, he saw a young girl crying. She lost her favorite doll.
He helped her look for the doll, but they couldn’t find it. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would look for it again.
The next day, when they still didn’t find the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll that said, “Please don’t cry. I have gone on a trip to see the world. I’m going to write to you about my adventures (历险经历).”
Thus a story that continued to the end of Kafka’s life began.
When they met every time, Kafka read aloud the letters (which he had written, of course) of adventures that the girl found exciting. Finally, Kafka read her a letter in which the doll said it had finally returned to Berlin. Then, he gave her a doll that he had bought.
“This does not look like my doll at all,” she said. Kafka handed her another letter that said, “It is my trips that have changed me.” The girl took the doll home happily. A year later, Kafka died.
