Hi, I'm Mai. My hobby is reading folk tales. Folk tales are usually short and interesting.
They often give me one surprise after another. The character are sometimes honest,
sometimes greedy, sometimes wise, and sometimes stupid. I like the Fox and the Crow
very much. The fox was clever and the crow was not. I also like the story of Tam and
Cam. Tam was very kind while Cam and her mother were so cruel. I love folk tales very
much because each of them gives me a lesson in life.
