One day, he was sick, and I took good care of the toys. There were two toy rooms in the nursery. The first room was for children who were good-hearted. The second room was for the naughty children.

The Dark Trip!!! - amended

One day, I went to school by MTR. Suddenly, the train stopped. All the lights were off and everyone fell down. I thought we were in Sai Wan Ho, I felt the door was on my left. I tried to open it. It was very big, and I couldn’t open it. I found something that felt like a rock. I threw it at the window and the window broke. I heard my friend, Johnny, crying, “Who can help me? I’ve lost my way!” I went near the voice, and I caught his hand.

.

I dragged Johnny to the door and he climbed out of the door. It was small, so only children could climb outside. Johnny and I tried to stay away from the railway. After a few minutes, we felt a train leaving. It was the train we were on. We touched the wall and started to go the Heng Fa Chuen way. Suddenly, we could not feel the wall.

.

We needed to choose a route to go to Heng Fa Chuen. We crawled and found the railway again. I realized that blind people had very hard and scary lives. However, we needed to find a way to leave the underground. We climbed up the line one railway. The railway was slanted and we climbed slowly. When we went to the exit, we saw the light again. Suddenly, a train was approaching. We ran quickly and saw a station.

.

It was the Taikoo station, but there were no people. We chose the wrong route to Heng Fa Chuen. We were very scared. Johnny thought, “It may not be the right’s station!” Johnny used his mobile phone to call the police. We went back to the railway again. We climbed back to the connected line and we chose the line two railway. After a few minutes, we arrived at the real Taikoo station. There were many people.

Clever Cheaters - amended

It was my birthday today, and my wife and I went to museum. The museum looked like a UFO. When we went inside, we saw many antiques. There were some vases and archives. I thought it was a museum about ancient China. I was a FBI coming from the USA. It was my first time going to China. My wife was a FBI too. We needed to find a cheater called Tommy. He was an internationally wanted person. After we visited the museum, we found a tuck shop in the museum. When we went inside the shop, we heard the sound of glass breaking outside the shop. I went outside and saw a security guard.

.

The security guard looked like Tommy. I thought he was Tommy, so I went after him. Suddenly, he pointed a knife at a girl’s chest and took her as a hostage. I wanted to help the girl, but I could not do anything. When Tommy and the girl went outside, he drove a car and escaped. I was very worried about the girl. The police arrived, and a policeman counted how many pieces of antiques had disappeared. Four pieces of antiques had disappeared, and they were worth $600,000. They were not extremely expensive, but they were very precious in China.

.

My wife and I went back to our suite first; we did not have any plans. It was very difficult; we searched for the museum on the net. There were many security guards. We found something about the girl in Tommy’s blog. The girl was called Jenny. She was a cheater too. After a few minutes, we heard that Jenny was safe, and she went back to the USA by airplane. She was Tommy’s partner. We called the FBI and arrested her in the USA airport.

The Chicken and the Egg: Ancient Mystery Solved?

By: TIME.com

Philosophers and fertility experts can rest easy as the age-old question, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” finally has an answer: The chicken.

The research comes from British scientists out of Sheffield and Warwick universities. It all boils down to one protein—ovocledidin-17 (OC-17)—that is only found inside a chicken's ovaries, and is essential for eggshell formation.

Although the protein has been studied as part of eggshell development before, researchers used a super computer to ‘zoom-in' while a shell was forming, and found that it actually serves as a catalyst. Sheffield Professor John Harding hopes that this will aid in designing new materials.

Well, that's one mystery solved. But still no word yet on the meaning of life.

My Last Special Agent Job - amended

Sam and I went to the UK. We were special agents who came from Russia. We needed to go to the UK and find some information. We needed to help another four special agents. My special agent number was 3947. Sam was my partner and his number was 5219. Today, we went back to Russia and brought some data to the UK. Sam traveled by another airplane, and I traveled by an airplane in London and needed to change my flight.

The navy headquarters was next to the Clifden. They were hard to find and the guard was very stern.

Now we were the slowest. One day, three members in our team were arrested by the police in the UK. The Russian Special Agent head found eight other members to help us. After one month, we got the military information.

When we went back to Russia, I read from the newspaper that the arrested special agents would get life imprisonment. They would be very bored. The UK government said, “There were 32 Russian special agents stealing our military information!” They wanted to arrest us. The Russian President found an airplane and helped us to flee to another place. Sam and I went to South Africa and watched the World Cup. We were Argentina’s fans, but it had lost to Germany.
