I read Stories from the Five Towns, a level 2 book in Oxford Bookworms Library series. There are four stories in this book. First, News of the Engagement. Second, The Burglary. Third, Begging the New Year. Then finally, The Silent Brothers.
In the story of News of the Engagement, the main character is a man who is thinking about marrying Agnes. They love each other. He was planning to tell the marriage to his mother when he goes to mother’s town, but he was disturbed by Mr Nixon. Mr Nixon was an old friend of the family. Mr Nixon said that he wants to talk with a man about an important thing. What is that? I was worried if a man can marry Agnes, but after I read the end of this story I thought this is a warm story.
In the final story, The silent Brothers, the main characters are two men. They are Robert and John. Ten years before, they had a quarrel and they didn’t speak. They lived together without words. One day, they knew the existence of their sister’s will. She left messages to them. After they read the message, elder brother went to see a woman. They loved the woman. They had to talk each other, but could they speak for the first time in a long time?
