 FICTION
The Fall of the House of Usher
by EDGAR ALLAN POE

DURING the whole of a dull, dark, and

soundless day in the autumn of the
year, when the clouds hung
oppressively low in the heavens, I had
been passing alone, on horseback,
through a singularly dreary tract of
country; and at length found myself, as

of Usher. I know not how it was--but,

sense of insufferable gloom pervaded
my spirit.

The Shepherd's Mistake

Retold from the Aesop's Fables by Brishti

Bandyopadhyay;

Early every morning, a shepherd took his

flock of sheep out in the fields to graze.
He would sit by watching - as the
sheep lazily munched on fresh grass.
After they had eaten, he would round

go off to sleep.
