The news : A kind-hearted store owner in the U.S. was robbed. The robber had a baseball bat as a weapon.The stall owner,from out of nowhere,took out a rifle and aimed it at the robber.The robber went down on his knees and begged the store owner for forgiveness and said he did not mean to do it and just did this to feed his family.
The stall owner pitied him and threw $40 at him,with a loaf of bread.When the owner wanted to hand the robber a carton of milk, the robber ran off.
Opinions:I think that the robber was very lucky to meet someone like that, to “donate” things to him even though he wanted to rob the owner.If I were the owner,I would have shot him in the leg ,so he could not escape.I think its a waste of time for the owner to “donate” to him,as when the police catches him,the $40 will not help.I think the owner will receive a medal of some sort to award him as he was kind to a person who might have killed him.He would be a good role model to children. Like the saying says in the bible,”Love thy enemy.”

Summary of the newspaper article.

The News: Two more Singaporean women had reached the top of Mount Everest. They are Joanne and Lee Peh Gee,39 and 32 respectively, two days after three of their team-mates reached the peak of the 8850m tall mountain. Sim Yi Hui, 27, training facilitator at Raffles institution (Junior College), did not reach the summit due to chest pain

Opinions: Singapore has been progressing very well in the world for doing amazing things, like the above establishment. The 2 ladies who are Singaporean must have gone through a lot of difficulties and injuries during the excursion on Mount Everest. I salute them on doing their best to represent Singapore.
I think the world will be impressed for what Singapore, a little red dot, can do such amazing things that other people from foreign countries cannot do. When I grow up, I want to establish big things to be renown around the world.
