Present
March 18, 2012
    He met his girlfriend.  She said to him. "You are a boring man so I want to break up with you."  He said in an upset voice, "Please wait. Please give me another chance."  She said, "Ok, I'll give you one last chance.  You can give me a present which I won't refuse to take. If you succeed, I will stay as your girlfriend."   They promised to meet one week later.
    He thought everyday about a present which she couldn't refuse.  But it was very
difficult.  The day before they met again he was walking downtown.  There was an antique stall on the street and a seller called him. "Are you looking for something?" He replied, "I'm looking for a present for my girlfriend."  The seller said, "So why do you look so sad?"  He explained about his situation.  The seller laughed loudly and gave him an item for free and taught him how to use it.
    The next day she came and asked him. "Did you find a present for me?"  He said, "I think so. This is a special mirror. It only shows the person you love.  Please look in the mirror."  She looked in the mirror.  He asked, "Can you see something in the mirror?"  She said in a suspicious voice. "What do you a mean? Of course I can see myself."  He said, "In that case you love only yourself."  
    She laughed loudly and said. "I knew your plan.  Next you'll come between me and the mirror and say I must love you because you are in the mirror, right?"  He said, "But that won't be so."  And he inserted himself between her and the mirror.  Surprisingly she only saw herself in the mirror. She couldn't see him there.  She was upset.  He said, "You don't like me so you can't see me in the mirror."  
    She was curious about the mirror and said, "Ok, I'll stay as your girlfriend for the time being."  She left with the mirror.
    In fact that was a trick mirror for magicians, which reflected things in the wrong direction.  Of course he knew as the seller told him about it.  Actually when he inserted himself between the mirror and her he didn't see her in the mirror.
    First he thought the mirror worked well.  But watching himself in the mirror without her appearance, he realized that he didn't love her at all.     So now he was thinking about the mirror, which must have been a genuine miracle mirror, not a trick mirror for magicians.
