The following allegory is an example. Long, long ago there were two couples that had no children. They adopted a boy named Terry. They were affable to Terry and Terry adored them very much. They lived an amicable life and amassed affluent affections. One day two bad men came to the village. They found Terry and accosted him: “Are your parents at home?” “No, they went to drink in the tavern.” terry replied. “Good!” alleged one of them, “I’ve heard of an anecdote saying that, there’s a bulk of ablaze antique treasure hidden somewhere near the apex of the mountain. Do you wish to find it out with us?” Terry was a boy with agility. He was allured and acclaimed: “Wonderful! I’ll affiliate you.” Consequently, Terry’s parents did find him when they came back. “Maybe you have alienated Terry. He finds you acrimonious and left. ” The mother said in anguish. “I do not doubt his allegiance。 He may have been abducted.” replied the father. Just then they received a mail with an annex amalgamated with the text. In the appendix there was an abridged letter: “Your son is in our hands. We’ve abated his diet and annulled his sleep. We want $10,000 for absolving him. If you are amenable to our advisable request, send the money to the allocated aperture of the sewer at the north of the village within two days。 if you adjourn, you’ll never see him again!” the letter admonished without any annotation. The letter was not abstruse, but the abhorrent allusion drove them into agony. Quickly they called the police. Several policemen were allotted to the case. They were adroit and adept in their job. Soon they rescued Terry and treated him with antiseptics. The couple felt abashed: “Thanks to the police, their affinity to spec ops amazed us. We’ll abstain drinking and accentuate the agrarian work.” The criminal and his acplice were accused for abduction but were acquitted although proof was against them, because the avaricious judge adopted their bribery.

Albania was arid and bleak while Croatia arable. The king of Albania was an autocrat with belligerent bent who begrudged Croatia and belittled her armament, and he decided to assail Croatia. Firstly, he sent an astute ambassador in bleached apparel to visit Croatia. The king of Croatia held a banquet and appointed him. He avowed: “We Croatians are bestowed by God the ardent aptitudes. We are ascetic as to have few assets and bequests. We’re also assiduous and keep austerity.” “Sure,” the messenger beguiled, “Your people have begotten(原形 beget) great attainments, and we want to barter with your country.” On hearing that, the Albania king said: “Good, nobody can balk us.” And he basted Croatia with his army. They bereaved Croatia’s land and beset its capital. The Croatia king was astounded and berated: “You shit belied your avid aspire for our land and blemished justice!” All Croatian officials were befuddled and began to bicker with each other. Only one minister said: “Although situation is arduous, we shall not apprehend them. I’ve appraised them and asserted that their ardor won’t last long. Everything is auspicious and will get assuaged.” The Albaniaforces’ general thought: “Our king is too bigoted. Ever since I passed his audition and became general, my allegiance has been basked in attrition. I’ve awed him, but now filled with aversion. I’ll kill him and retire. I’m apt to study barometer.” So he aspersed: “Our king is avaricious and barbarous. We shouldn’t bend to his arrogance.” Then he sent an assassin and assassinated the king. (April, 3th) Unit Three Prisoners of War Thousands of war prisoners were kept in captivity in the bulky camp. They lived in clutter and had to deal with chores. They must show categorical obedience or else receive caustic chiding. The guarding officers censure them very often, as well as clamor carnal punishments. Some captives got bruise and clots all over. Male prisoners lost their collaterals and female ones failed to keep chaste. They wear burnished canvas, and rested in circumscribed room with small capacity and caliber. They chafe each other and brawled frequently. They were chary of moving and can hardly budge. Their situations captivated lots of reporters, who castigated the government with cogent proof. However, the government gave bombastic data and bragged about the conditions in the camps. After the calamity of war ceased, large numbers of captives were longing for the boon of brisk and free life. According to a clandestine bond between the two canny governments, a process of exchanging captives will soon mence. This is considered as opening a cleft in the clogged wall between the two countries. Willing is not enough。 we must do.
