Almond 영어원서 매직북클럽 Day 1

 

Almond 

PROLOGUF

I have almonds inside me.

So do you.

So do those you love and those you hate.

No one can feel them.

You just know they are there.

This story is, in short, about a monster meeting another monster. One of the monsters is me.

I won't tell you whether it has a happy ending or a tragic ending. Because, first of all, every story becomes boring once the ending is spoiled.

Second of all, not telling you will make you more engaged in this one.

Lastly, and I know it sounds like an excuse, but neither you nor I nor anyone can ever really know whether a story is happy or tragic.
