Short story by Kian Yang
A fight broke out at a coffee shop yesterday as I was walking by. At first, one man was talking to his friend when things started to get rough. His friend started shouting at him and the man lost his temper and lunged towards his friend. They both threw a few punches at each other and soon the police came and someone took a video of what was happening and handed over the footage to the police
The man and his friend were arrested and I was told that this was not the first time that the man got hot under the collar and trouble seemed to follow him. He had not gone unpunished and is now in jail.

Story by Jia Sheng
Once again, I had forgotten to do my homework. My teacher reprimanded me in front of the whole class. She then kept me during recess to complete my work.
After the whole class was dismissed for recess, I took out my homework and worked furiously on it. I wanted to play with my friends. As I was almost done with my work, I felt something hit the back of my head. I spun around to find Sean picking up an eraser from the floor. Before I know what he was doing, he was aiming the eraser right at my head.
Angered, I got out of my chair and lunged at him. He dodged but I managed to grab his collar. His towering built proved little use to fight against a provoked me. I swung my leg and launched a mighty kick at his right thigh. Gritting his teeth in pain, he called me an idiotic dog. That was it! He'll broke loose in me and I had my temper take over. I clutched my fist tightly and gave him a punch in the face. Then I rained several punches on his stomach.
At that very moment, the principal walked by. Seeing both of us fighting, she stormed into the classroom. Sean and I froze. The principal then ordered us to follow her to her office. During the walk to her office, I reflected on my behaviour. If I had just told Sean not to throw the eraser again and ignored him, I would not have ended in this situation. I regretted this incident. I could have prevented it if not for my rashness.

What goes around comes around
Here's the full story...
One day a man saw a old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even
in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in
front of her Mercedes and got out... His Pinto was still sputtering when
he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to
help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look
safe; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He
knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.
He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car
where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'
Well, all she had was a flat tyre,
But for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car
looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two..
Soon he was able to change the tyre. But he had to get dirty and his hands
hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began
to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just
passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed
him. Any amount would have been all right with her She already imagined
all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped.
Bryan never thought twice about being paid.
This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows
there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his
whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she
saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance
they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me..'
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and
depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into
the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a
bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her
trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas
pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and
brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one
that even being on her Feet for the whole day couldn't erase.. The lady
noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let
the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how
someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she
remembered Bryan .
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The
waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the
old lady had slipped right out the door... She was gone by the time the
waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then
she noticed something written on the napkin..
There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't
owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the
way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you
do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to
serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she
got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money
and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she
and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to
be hard....
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her,
she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything' s going
to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'

What goes around comes around
A suggested summary for What Goes Around Comes Around
An old lady was stranded on the side of a road with a flat tyre one day. She had
waited for an hour before Bryan Anderson arrived to offer his help. When the flat tyre was replaced, she offered to reward Bryan. Bryan politely declined her offer, claiming that he had helped because he was brought up to help others in need and did not expect any monetary returns.
Before they parted, Bryan told the old lady that she could repay him by passing the kindness to someone in need.
On her way home, the old lady drove to a dingy café to grab a bite. At the restaurant, she was treated warmly by a heavily pregnant waitress. Deeply touched by the waitress' spirit of giving, she gave the waitress a fat change, together with four $100 bills under the napkin.
