Full name: ......

A long time ago the ship of Robinson Crusoe was wrecked in a tempest near an island. The sailors all died, and when he landed he found himself alone on an island that was unscripted at any map.

He had no food, and no weapon to defend himself against wild and dangerous animals. All he had was his pocket knife, his pipe and a little tobacco. When the night came, he climbed up a tree and quickly fell asleep.

The next days, he tried to make life possible for him. He built a small hut and made weapons to hunt animals to eat. He hunted animals and fed on them. He planted crops to feed himself. He made tools in order to handle his needs. He fished using arrows he made from tree branches. He succeeded to recuperate books, knives and many other useful items from sinking boats. He made everything himself. He was his own tailor, shoemaker, baker, joiner and so on. He spent more than 20 years in total solitude and one day a passing ship of pirates had mercy on him and took him back to his home.

At two minutes to noon on September 1st, 1923, the great clock in Tokyo stopped. Tokyo Bay shook as if a huge rug had been pulled from under it towering above the bay, the 4000 meter Mount Fuji stood above a deep trench in the sea. It was from this trench that the earthquake came, at a magnitude of 8.3 on the Richter scale.

The sea drew back for a few moments. Then, a huge wave swept over the city. Boats were carried inland, and buildings and people were dragged out to sea. The tremors dislodged parts of the hillside which gave way, brushing trains, stations and bodies into the water below. Large sections of the sea-bed sank 400 meters; the land rose by 250 meters in some places and sank in others. Three massive shocks wrecked the cities of Tokyo and Yokohama and during the next six hours there were 171 aftershocks.

The casualties were enormous, but there were some lucky survivors. The most remarkable was a woman who was having a bath in her room at the Tokyo Grand Hotel. As the hotel collapsed, she and her bath gracefully descended to the street, leaving both her and the bathwater intact.

Full name:

Romeo and Juliet is a tale written by Shakespeare. It is about two rich families of Verona: the Montague’s and the Capulet’s. But an old quarrel between these two families led to a deadly enmity which was extended even to their children.

One day, old Lord Capulet made a great supper to which many fair ladies and many noble guests were invited. To this feast of Capulet’s, Romeo Montague went masked. All the beauties of Verona were present but the young man was struck with the exceeding beauty of a lady who danced there. Among all those beautiful ladies, Juliet Capulet emerged as a snowy dove trooping with crows. Romeo danced with Juliet and it was love at first sight from both of them. Every night Romeo leapt the wall of Juliet’s house to see his beloved, who waited above the window to hear her lover’s passionate discourse and romantic poetry.

They were so enamoured of each other, so they consented to marry but stressed the need for absolute secrecy about the matter as they were conscious of their families’ opposition. After many sweet days spent with her lover, Lord Capulet proposed a suitor for his daughter, the Count of Paris.

Unfortunately, the story ended tragically as both lovers died. To flee the marriage proposed by her father, Juliet took a poison which would make her asleep for a long time. When Romeo heard that his young wife was dead, he came near her, kissed her and swallowed a mortal poison. Once the effect of the poison had expired, Juliet awoke and to her surprise found her lover dead. She quickly took a knife and killed herself.
