i The chill air grasped her to bones and so strongly and cruelly the wind slapped her two purple cheeks without regard of her poor clothes and bare feet. This was only the second day after the death of her mother, the only relative she owned on the earth, with whom she once lived so happily though the money her poor mother earned was just enough for the two mouths. But now, the only soul strongly held her was commending her to stroll on the lonely road to find something to eat after being without any food for a whole day. There is no strength left to support a step forward, and consequently, she knelt down round the corner of the crossing.

ii With the last glance of his bright and cosy house where the Christmas party was still on, he told himself not to regret and took the steady footsteps to any place he was not aware of. The anger always occupied his heart and was even heavier after the determination of leaving the home, however ridicular it might sound, however strong the thought of remaining strived. He could not bear the words of his parents to recommend, no, but ask him to marry a wealthy girl they're acquainted with. The problem was that he himself didn't like her at all, the way she talked, the way she behaved. He could not bear his parents' money worship without regarding their son's happiness. His heart was broken after the incessant quarrels and finally decided to desert them to search for his love though he himself had not the slightest idea of how it was like. He then took another step to the unknown world.

iii It was a dark black and dirty cat, vagrant adn homeless, running here and there in search for eatables with the only bright organ it owned shining, greedy and thirsty. It had never had time to think where it came from but striving to survive was its sole occupation in its isolated world. Maybe it had no ancestors since it had no personalities at all, and if it did have ancestors, it would certainly not carry on searching for them instead of food. However busy it was during the whole day, it could still feel strongly it was just its own feet on the road, it was just its own mouth doing the mechanical action of gulping, not others. Yes, it was its own. It lived for its own sake.

iv A man, a woman and a cat, they finally met at the time and in the right place, and finally they made up a family where story was still on. Whether they lived happily or not you can make a judge to such a rapid combination. Bear in mind the man, the woman and the cat and you'll find your own shadow among them.

My words are quite plain.

Dear Ningbo,

I am not perhaps competant enough to comment on the story you have posted.But being one who does write,I thought I will write what I feel.

1)It is really a 'short' story.Three characters and each one introduced in paragraphs succeeding one another.

Advice.
---------
Elaborate a little more please.

2)Theme.
--------
Wow!!!Very good.

3)Moral of the story.

Again a wow!All peace or whatever one imagine.Were you inspired by the stary dog/,Or the oriental insistence on whom to marry?,or the girl( I hope she is young enough not to seek a livelihood by her own effort?
