My Review: A bunch of stories to love. Each one different, so you will be deep into the stories and they are done wonderfully.
A tunnel with no end.
Deep water and fear.
Learn about shark fins and how its gotten for soup.
A call about an illegal man had to be done.
Granted, a guy who has a lot and donates.
And thats just some hints into those stories, and you can even learn some things from these stories. People, life, the world. There are many things to read and learn from this book and I know you will all love it. A mix of things you haven't seen together and yet it all just works and will have your attention until the end of this short book.
