 * __FREEZING TO OBEY HIS STEPMOTHER__**
 * Min Tzu-Chien lost his mother at a young age. His father remarried and had two more sons with his second wife. She always dressed her own sons in warm clothes, but gave her stepson only a thin coat. One winter day, she told Min Tzu-Chien to hold the reins of his father's cart. He shivered so badly that he dropped the reins. Min’s father found out that his wife dressed his oldest son very poorly. In his rage, he decided to dismiss his second wife. But Min Tzu-Chien said: "If she stays, one son will be freezing. But if she leaves, all three will suffer from the cold." When his stepmother heard this, she changed her attitude towards Min Tzu-Chien. **

**__OBASUTEYAMA__** **//Japanese Ghost Story//**
 * A long time ago, there was a mountain called Obasuteyama (Throw-Mother-Away Mountain) and a family with grandparents, dad, mom, a boy and a girl. They lived happily at first and helped each other. Grandma was pretty old and became feeble with old age. The family became disgusted with her, because she asked the same thing over and over again and told the same story so many times. Then, they stopped talking to her and going out with her. She became lonely and stopped moving around the house. One day, the father decided to take her to the mountain and leave her there. Then he said to her, **
 * “How about going on a picnic?”**
 * She was so happy to talk to him after a long time silence and she was anxious to do anything and said,**
 * “I'd love to do that. I will make a box lunch to eat together''**
 * “Okay, we’ll go on Friday,'' he said.**
 * On Friday, grandma got up early to make a box lunch and prepared for a picnic. Around 10 O'Clock they left for the mountain. Since grandma was weak and couldn't walk fast, it took a long time to climb up the mountain. But he took her to the top where she could not come home by herself. They had a box lunch there and talked happily, because he knew it would be the last time he would talk to her. Then, when it became dark, he said good-bye to her and climbed back down the mountain. She didn't realized what was happening and cried out, but he never looked back, so she realized that she was left behind. She cried out over and over again, **


 * “Please take me with you. I don't want to stay here by myself. I'd do what **
 * you want me to do. Please help me'' **
 * He never looked back again. He felt sorry for doing that little bit, but it relieved his anxiety.**
 * From that day, they lived happily but when they passed the mountain, they heard a scream and saw a white ghost pleading with them. Even today, when we pass Obasuteyama, we always cover our ears with our thumbs. If we don't, the ghost may haunt us and curse our parents. But nobody knows about it for sure... **
