That’s a reason I would want monkey as my leader. Another reason I would want monkey as my leader is because of his bravery. He was brave enough to fight a demon, turn tricks during master Subhodi’s class about learning how to be immortal. Sometimes his bravery doesn’t end up so well.

She holds her hair back with sunglasses, in summer and in winter. After spending even a short time with her, one can't help but think of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, who believed that the manufacture of flavors -- particularly the sweet and flashy ones that go into candy, chewing gum, and marshmallow -- demands a childlike openness. At the end of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Wonka tells Charlie Bucket that an adult could never run his factory.
