Review of "Circle Games" (BR 8)

'Turn like a wheel,' he laughed while he danced with the children. (p. 11)

   This book is consisted of five stories. So, I'd like to review one of the stories.
   The title of the story is 'Quick Man Tan.' Caleb Tan was a great Chinese dancer and could move like fighters in kung fu films long time ago.
   His family, he and his wife and son, has a cafe. His son was a good cook, and cooked all meal of the cafe. And, his wife carried the meal to people came to the cafe. But, Tan didn't work at all.
   All he did was telling people his old stories. His family wanted him to work.
   But one day, a robber came in to the cafe. He had robbed some things at other places. All people were afraid of the robber, but Tan moved like fighters in kung fu films and the robber was on the floor. He helped to catch the robber!
I thought that Caleb Tan was great.
And, all five stories were so interesting.
