简介：This collection of short stories was created for several reason: to introduce the short story as a distinct literary form, to provide enjoyable reading, and ... to help people understand themselves better through reading, thinking, discussing and writing about the short stories. Within each story is a conflict that readers can identify with. After seeing how the story characters deal--sometimes successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully--with the problems facing them, readers can then consider how they themselves might react to the situations. -Back cover.
