Ten Short Stories by Roald Dahl

There were 10 short stories ( as the title states ) in the book. Some stories were amusing while i do not understand some stories. In the story the Umbrella Man, the man who sold the umbrella was actually a thief who steals umbrella to sell, so he can get money to buy liquor to drink. In the story The Hitchhiker, the man who asked the author to give him a lift to Epsom, a place where people bet on horse races. The hitchhiker is actually going there to take people valuables. But he only take from the rich and the snobbish.

Those are the two stories which i like the most out of all of them.

Books which i read during the holidays



During the school holidays, we had many a lot of free time. At some point, i was bored, so i read the two books my Language Arts teacher recommended us to read. the two books are:

Ten Short Stories by Roald Dahl
and
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman



I found those books interesting as they are easy to understand with many interesting plots and funny stories.
