A Bizarre Story Heard from My Father No one knows when and where the story happened, the only thing we know is that our major character was a sallow, skinny little boy. His family was not rich so that he was always suffering from hunger and scanty clothes, which made him frequently bullied by other children in the school. There was a long brick wall along one side of the street where he would pass along when he went to school and back home. When he walked along the wall, he would count the bricks by stabbing his middle finger on the bricks. As time went by, his middle finger grew stronger and stronger without awareness, and at last his middle finger was as strong as an iron stick, leaving a row of shallow holes in the wall. And one day, he was once again bullied by a little scum. He was beaten to the ground, blue and black all over. As the bad boy was going to give him another punch, he reached out his middle finger unconsciously, and stabbed the middle finger through his skull, directly into the brain.
