2) A day in Mr. Person’s life
I am going to tell you about Mr. Person. He lived an ordinary life as an
unknown Swedish man in the 20th century. However, he worked as a
Democrat in the White House in his early years. He was a good and understanding
man, and the president always confided his thoughts of ruling with him. Until
this one day when he uttered his opinions around religion, and that he hated
the Buddhism. He did not believe in karma and reincarnation. The president got
tired of this, and shot him on a Monday.
You may think this is a strange story, but believe me it happened. Read
about it in the book; “The President’s Life and the People around Him”.
(Here I have used the eight-caitalised word groups).
