Aesop's fables

This lesson, I learned about two of Aesop‘s fables, one is “The tortoise and the hare”, and the other is "A greedy dog", I studied those fables when I was a child.  Recently, I studied them again in another language, English.  The stories are simple, with much philosophy, and they are still very helpful for me now.  In addition I want to try to think about the story directly in English so as to practice understanding English clearly and quickly. Professor Brian is very productive.  I am reading his work, which a dictionary named "Worst words". He can accurately catch the essence of things with concise wordings.  I think the book is valuable for any man who would like to improve their English, second language learners, as well as native speakers, because "Worst words" is also a philosophic piece at it's core. I really appreciate Professor Brian for sharing his book with me.

Tell me a story

“Tell me a story” is the title of a moving Italian movie that I saw several years ago.
Mariuska was an orphan who, before meeting Salvatore, she was quite autistic due to her suffering during her infant years (???**Note:  Autism shows up within the first three years of life, so if she was autistic due to suffering, the suffering must have happened in the first three years, right???). Her only friend in the orphanage was a little boy called Yuri. However Unfortunately, he was adopted by a family one day and  . Meanwhile, Mariuska she was adopted by a young couple as well, which meant separation for the two friends, too. They had to be separated from each other. From then on, Salvatore, the father of one of Mariuska's adopted parents, became her grandpa. He had once been once was a weather forecaster at in a TV station so one . One of his famous mantras was “if the weather is terrible, it will soon clear up” He was a humorous and positive person, and . The grandpa was good at telling stories. Every night he told different kinds of fairytales about love and miracles to Mariuska. She was totally obsessed with these those (hard choice between "those" and "these".  i think "these" brings the reader in closer to the story) fantastic stories. Among them, What impressed impresses her the most was a story about a tree of happiness happinese. The naïve girl was so convinced that if she could find the tree in the real life, their family would be happy forever. But life is called life because it is since it’s made up of both happiness and sorrow, sorrows. so an unfortunate thing occurred A unfortunately thing happened. The girl’s foster father and mother were killed in a serious car accident on their way back home from a trip to an island inland. The kind old man then told a white lie to Mariuska the little girl when she asked about  refers to her foster parents. He said that they had they’ve traveled to a far away place. Tragically On other hand, the government relevant department had to reconsider the adoption of Mariuska because it was . Because it’s illegal for a single person such as Salvatore to adopt children according to Italian law at that time. Also Additionally, he was is too old to ensure that he could fully raise the girl to raise the girl up. Smart Mariuska smartly realized that something had to happen or she would be separated from her beloved grandpa, so she pretended to would happy. Something would separate her grandpa from her. She became autistic again. In Salvatore’s heart, he knew he had has to do something for the her girl. He couldn’t let the lovely girl face the life alone. So-- to others' eyes-- Thus he made a stupid decision in other eyes. He took the girl and escaped the city. 

The end of the story was is  just like his mantra - “if the weather is terrible, it will soon clear up”. If you have a positive attitude towards life, everything will be OK. At last the girl found a tree in an amusement park  the tree that looked look like the same as it had in the fairytale book in a amusement park. She was adopted by a the family that who was a friend of Salvatore's, the same family that had adopted adopting Yuri. Salvatore could can see her as often as he wanted can and be her grandpa forever.
I believe that there is a tree called happiness in everyone’s heart. Once you find it, you can be happy ever after. Our whole life is a process of pursuing that happiness.

In recent years, the demand for popular consumer goods has increased rapidly.  Millions of people have chosen to buy things based on what they see in advertisements.  But, are these commodities what they really need?  Advertising has led many consumers to the procurement of popular but unneeded items.
