("Triplets;"  Web Source:  Flickr )  Bibliography:   The Three Brothers  in Stories from Congo by Richard Edward Dennett.  Hi, I am Timmy. It all started when I was 16 years old. I began dating a beautiful and sweet girl, and her name was Maggie. We went to high school together, and it was fun until one day that it wasn't. We were dating for 6 months and were getting out of that honeymoon stage when she said that she wants me to marry her right now. We were 16, and I couldn't give her that. It didn't end there. She was very emotionally draining, so I broke off our relationship.  A couple years later, I was in college, and there was Maggie. Rather than the usual "hello"'s or "it's been so long,"'s Maggie told me she had to tell me something.  "I'm sorry if I was crazy in high school about getting married. I had your baby when we were in high school. They were triplets actually , but don't worry I don't have them anym...

("Triplets;"  Web Source:  Flickr )  Bibliography:   The Three Brothers  in Stories from Congo by Richard Edward Dennett.  A women had triplets. However, she did not want her kids unfortunately. Thus, she just left them. The kids started to look for food, and all of a sudden there was a lot of food. A spirit told them to eat the food. The kids grew up from eating this food. They had jobs. They had wives, and then had families. The father of the children stumbled around this area one day. He told his wife that these were their kids. The wife tried to find her children, now grown. However, she was not able to. One of the grandchildren saw the lady and were kinda scared. Stranger danger. The triplets were like ok we should kill the intruder. It makes sense. However, the spirit told them not to. They told them to treat her well, so they did. I would want to rewrite this story with not humans. I think it would be interesting if the spirit was actually an animal ...

  "Green Eyes;" Web Source:  Wikimedia )  I read Stories from the Congo. The story that had the most drama was The Jealous Wife. It depicted a story about a man with two wives. He went out and told the wives to stay with their children. The women wanted to be all sweet and give the husband some yummy food when he got home. However, they needed to watch the kids. One wife would stay at home while the other would fish. One wife was really jealous of the other wife's kid. When it was her turn babysitting, she decided she wanted to kill the other wife's baby. Thus, she killed the baby where they usually are. When she woke up, she realized she killed her own baby and not hers. Yikes. I really am interested in this story. I would use the components of jealousy and her own demise as a part of my own story. I would use a more modern approach. I may use something like a test and the other was jealous of a score on a test or just physical beauty. I would want it to be more of a...
