PALACE OF THE PARLIAMENT,BUCHAREST
Twenty-three years after communism collapsed, the
Palace of the Parliament has emerged as an unlikely pillar of
Romania's nascent democracy.
And while it remains one of the most controversial
projects of Ceausescu's 25-year rule it's also now a tourist
attraction, visited by tens of thousands of Romanians and foreigners
every year.
The palace, so big it can be seen from space opened
its doors in early 1990. Described by some as a giant Stalinist
wedding cake, it's the world's second-largest administrative building
after the Pentagon, Michael Jackson moonwalked in
front of the building after a press conference,

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
A mean old man named .........SCROOGE............... sits in his office on a freezing Christmas Eve. His clerk, .......CRATCHIT......... , shivers in the next room because Scrooge refuses to spend money on heating.
Scrooge's nephew, ..........FRED......, pays his uncle a visit and invites him to his annual Christmas party. Two ......GENTLMEN............ also drop by and ask Scrooge for a contribution to their charity. Scrooge reacts to the holiday visitors with bitterness and venom, spitting out an angry "Bah! Humbug!" in response to his nephew's "Merry Christmas!"
Later that evening, after returning to his dark, cold apartment, Scrooge receives a chilling visitation from the ghost of his dead partner, ..........JACOB.......... Marley relates his unfortunate story. As punishment for his greedy life his spirit has been condemned to wander the Earth loaded with heavy chains. Marley hopes to save Scrooge from sharing the same fate. Marley informs Scrooge that three .......SPIRITS........ will visit him during each of the next three nights.
After the ghost disappears, Scrooge collapses into a deep sleep. He wakes moments before the arrival of ................THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST............ , a strange childlike phantom with a brightly glowing head. The spirit takes Scrooge on a journey into the past to previous Christmases from his earlier years. Invisible to those he watches, Scrooge revisits his childhood school days, his apprenticeship with a jolly merchant named ....EBENEZER................. , and his engagement to ......BELLE..............., a woman who leaves Scrooge because his lust for money eclipses his ability to love another. Scrooge, deeply moved, sheds tears of regret before the phantom returns him to his bed.
gentlemen - Fezziwig - Ebenezer - Scrooge - Fred - Jacob Marley - spirits the Ghost of Christmas Past - Belle - The Ghost of Christmas Present -Bob Cratchit
........THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT................. , a majestic giant wearing a green fur robe, takes Scrooge through London to unveil Christmas as it will happen that year. Scrooge watches the large Cratchit family prepare a miniature feast in its poor home. He discovers Bob Cratchit's crippled son, Tiny Tim, a courageous boy whose kindness and humility warms Scrooge's heart. The specter then takes Scrooge to his nephew's to witness the Christmas party. Scrooge finds the happy gathering delightful and asks the spirit to stay until the very end of the festivities.
As the day passes, the spirit ages, becoming much older. Toward the end of the day, he shows Scrooge two starved children, Ignorance and Want, living under his coat.
He vanishes instantly as Scrooge notices a dark, hooded figure coming toward him. The Ghost of Christmas Future leads Scrooge through a sequence of mysterious scenes relating to an unnamed man's recent death. Scrooge sees businessmen discussing the dead man's riches, some vagabonds trading his personal effects for cash, and a poor couple expressing relief at the death of their creditor. Scrooge, anxious to learn the lesson of his latest visitor, begs to know the name of the dead man. After asking the ghost, Scrooge finds himself in a cemetery, the spirit pointing to a grave. Scrooge looks at the headstone and is shocked to read his own name. He desperately implores the spirit to alter his fate, promising to renounce his insensitive, avaricious ways and to honor Christmas with all his heart.
Whoosh! He suddenly finds himself safely tucked in his bed. Scrooge is really happy to have the chance to redeem himself and grateful that he has been returned to Christmas Day. He runs onto the street hoping to share his new Christmas spirit. He sends a giant Christmas turkey to the Cratchit house and attends Fred's party, to the surprise of the other guests. As the years go by, he holds true to his promise and honors Christmas with all his heart: he treats Tiny Tim as if he were his own child, provides gifts for the poor, and treats his fellow human beings with kindness, generosity, and warmth.

SHORT STORY 4
You Can't Have Everything You Want
This is a story from India. Gopal lived with his wife, Nataki, in a small house near a river. They were very poor. Every day Gopal went to the river to get fish. He had a net. Sometimes there were two or three fish in the net. Then he went home to Nataki and said, "We can eat today." Sometimes there were no fish in the net. Then Gopal didn't eat.
Gopal was always happy, because he liked the river. But Nataki was not happy. One day Gopal saw a very big fish in his net. "Good," he said. "We're going to eat today, and tomorrow too." But the fish opened its mouth and said, "Don't kill me. Put me back in the water. I want to live."
"But...." said Gopal.
"Please," said the fish.
"My wife isn't going to be happy about this," said Gopal.
"Then tell her about me," said the fish, "but please, put me back in the water." So Gopal put it back. He went home without any fish.
"No fish today?" said Nataki. "Oh Gopal."
"There was one very big fish," said Gopal, "but I put it back in the water."
"You what?"
"I put it back in the river."
"You had a big fish and you put it back in the water? But we have no food."
"The fish talked," said Gopal.
"What?"
"It talked. It said, 'Tell your wife
"Oh," said Nataki.
Then she said, "Tomorrow morning, Gopal, go to the river. Get the big fish in your net
again. Then ask for something."
"Ask for what?"
"Some food," said Nataki. "And a new red dress for me."
So Gopal went to the river in the morning and the big fish jumped into his net.
"Yes?" it said.
"Nataki wants some food for us, and a new red dress."
"Then put me in the water, and go home, Gopal."
Gopal went home. There was food on the table, and Nataki had a new red dress.
"Beautiful," said Gopal. "Are you happy now?"
"No, I want a good dinner and a new dress every day. Ask the fish tomorrow."
So in the morning Gopal went to the river. The big fish jumped into his net.
"Yes?" it said.
"Nataki wants a good dinner and a new dress every day."
"She can't have everything she wants," said the fish.
"I know," said Gopal.
"Then put me in the water, and go home."
Gopal went home. There was a good dinner on the table, and Nataki had a new blue dress.
"Beautiful," said Gopal. "Are you happy now?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I want a big house," said Nataki, "and some new tables and chairs. Ask the fish."
So in the morning Gopal went to the river, and the big fish jumped into his net.
"Yes?" it said.
"Nataki wants a big house and some new tables and chairs."
"She can't have everything she wants."
"I know," said Gopal.
"Put me in the water and go home," said the fish. Gopal went home. Nataki, in a new white dress, was in a new armchair.
"Happy now?" said Gopal.
"No."
"You can't have everything you want."
"Can't I? This is a big house now. I want two girls and a man—three servants for the work in the house. I can't do it all."
Gopal went back to the river in the morning and the big fish jumped into his net.
"Yes?" it said.
"She wants servants."
"How many?"
"Two girls and a man," said Gopal.
"Put me in the water and go home."
Gopal went home. Nataki had
"Aren't you happy now?" said Gopal.
"No."
"Why not?"
"I want some money," said Nataki. "I want money for the servants. And I want some rings for my ears."
In the morning Gopal went to the river, and the big fish jumped into his net.
"Yes?" it said.
"She wants money for the servants, and some earrings. "
"She can't have all the things she wants."
"I know," said Gopal.
"Put me in the water and go home."
Gopal went home. There was a lot of money on the table, and Nataki had some new earrings.
"Beautiful," said Gopal. "Now you must be happy. You have all the things you want."
"No," said Nataki.
"What?"
"I want this country. It must all be mine. I want to be Queen of this country."
"You're my Queen."
"I want to be Queen of this country. Tell the fish tomorrow."
In the morning Gopal went to the river and the big fish jumped into his net.
"Yes?" it said
"She wants to be Queen of this country."
The fish said nothing.
"I know," said Gopal. "She can't have everything she wants."
"That's right," said the fish. "Put me back in the water and go home. Oh, and Gopal...."
"Yes?"
"Goodbye" said the fish.
Gopal went home. Nataki was in the old house. She had no food, no new dresses, no new tables and chairs, no servants, no earrings, nothing.
She looked at Gopal. "Go back to the river now!" she said.
Gopal went to the river. But the big fish wasn't there. It never jumped into his net again.

Tobermory the Cat
One August afternoon, Lady Blemley was in her sitting room. Some of her friends were with her. She liked to have her friends for the weekend. Their names were Miss Resker, Miss Pellington, Mrs Cornett, and Mr Cornelius Appin. Mr Appin was a young man.
He said, "I can teach English to animals."
"Can you?" said Lady Blemley.
"Yes. Your cat, Tobermory, can speak English now."
"No," they all said. "It's not true."
"Yes it is," said Mr Appin.
Lady Blemley said to her husband, "Wilfrid, get Tobermory, please."
Sir Wilfrid went out. He came back without Tobermory .
"It's true!" he said. "Tobermory was on my bed. I said, 'Tobermory, come with me!' And he answered me!"
"He didn't!" they all said.
"He did," said Sir Wilfrid. "He said, 'I'm not ready. Is my milk in the sitting room?' "
Then a girl came into the room with tea. Tobermory came too.
"Good afternoon, Tobermory," said Lady Blemley .
"Where's my milk?" said Tobermory.
Lady Blemley put some milk on the floor for him .
They all looked at him.
"Must you look at me?" he said. "More milk."
Lady Blemley put down some more milk.
Miss Resker said, "Tobermory, can I ask you a question?"
"Must you?"
" Tobermory, do you like me?" said Miss Resker.
"I don't think about you much," said Tobermory. "Sir Wilfrid likes you. I saw you two in the garden this morning."
Miss Resker's face was red. Sir Wilfrid's was, too.
"But you like me, Tobermory," said Miss Pellington .
"Lady Blemley doesn't like you," said Tobermory.
'Tobermory ¡' said Lady Blemley. "She's my old friend!"
"Perhaps," said Tobermory "She's going to buy your car, isn't she? It's no good. Too old, like her."
Lady Blemley's face was red. Miss Pellington's was, too.
"Tobermory," said Mrs Cornett. "Lady Blemley and Sir Wilfrid are buying your food."
"They're buying yours, too," said Tobermory.
"You said, 'I don't like the Blemleys much, but the food is good.' "
Mrs Cornett's face was red.
"Tobermory," said Sir Wilfrid, "out."
Tobermory looked out of the window.
"Out now," said Sir Wilfrid.
Tobermory went out of the room.
"Mr Appin," said Lady Blemley, "can Tobermory teach how English to all his cat friends?"
"Yes," said Mr Appin.
"Then, Wilfrid, we must...."
"Yes," said Sir Wilfrid. "Tonight."
But Tobermory listened at the door. He went away and didn't come back again. Where is Tobermory now? They don't know. Is he in your house?

Death and Money
This is a very old story. There were three young men. They liked to eat, and they liked to drink a lot. One day they were in the bar of the Grand Hotel. Through the window, they saw some men. They had the body of a dead man.
"What's that?" said the 1st young man. He said to a child, "Boy, come here!" The boy came. The young man said, "Who is dead? Go and ask." The boy went, and came back. "That was one of your old friends," he said. "He was often here at the Grand Hotel with you."
"Why is he dead?"
"I don't know," said the boy. "Death takes all lives."
"The boy is right," said the barman. "Death is going to take your life some day. Perhaps today. Perhaps tomorrow."
"Oh no," said the 1st young man. "Death is not going to take my life."
"You must be ready for Death," said the barman.
The 1st young man said, "Where is Death? I am going to find him and kill him. Are you coming with me?"
"Yes," said his friends.
The three young men walked up the road. An old man came along the road. He knocked
the ground with his stick. "Open for me, Mother," he said to the ground. "Old man," said the 1st young man. "Why do you knock the ground with your stick?"
"I am old. I don't want to live. But Death is never going to take me. The ground is not going to open for me. I walk along the road and I say, 'Mother, I want to die. But I can't die."'
"Where is Death?"
"I saw him under a tree, up on the mountain there," said the old man. "Go there, find the
tree, and Death too."
The three young men walked up the mountain. They came to the tree. Under the tree was money, a lot of money. The 1st young man said, "Now my friends, are we going to take this money? Or are we going to find Death and kill him?"
"The money," said his friends.
"Where are we going to take it?"
"To my house," said the 2nd young man.
"Not in daylight," said the 3rd young man.
"People mustn't see us."
"No," said the 1st young man. "We must take it home by night. We want some beer now, beer and food. Who is going to the town, to buy beer and food?"
"I am," said the 2nd young man. "Give me some money."
He went down the road to the town. The 1st young man said to the 3rd young man, "Are we going to give him some of this money?" "No," said the 3rd young man. "How can we kill him?"
"I have a knife. And you have a knife."
The 2nd young man walked to the town and he said, "I want all the money. Why not? But how can I get it? They are two and I am one."
Then he said, "I'm going to kill them." He went to a shop. He asked for poison. "I want something to kill the rats in my house," he said to the man in the shop. "They eat all my
food."
"I have some very good rat-poison," said the man .
The young man went away with the rat-poison.
He went to the Grand Hotel. "Three bottles of beer, please," he said.
He put poison in two of the bottles. Then he went back to his friends. His friends put their arms round him. They killed him with their knives.
"Now," said the 1st young man. "Have some beer. "
They opened all the bottles of beer. Before night, they were dead. The old man was right. Death was under the tree.
