I chose these stories:
1) Caught bed handed:
A tired thief who took a rest in a house he was burgling was found sound asleep on the couch by the owner and arrested. The man snatched two bracelets and an earring before falling asleep in the central Bosnian town of Maglaj. During interrogation he confessed to breaking into the house. “He saw the couch and just sat down to rest for a while and fell asleep,” police said.

2) Babies Know What Animals are Saying:
When she was just 2 months old, I was washing dishes and making bottles when I heard something coming from the living room. I stepped out of the kitchen and into the archway leading into the living room, where my daughter lay in her playpen. I didn't know what to make of it at first and then I laughed hysterically. There was our black cat, Sophia, who doesn't like anybody, even her owners for 14 years. She was lying next to the baby's playpen. She was meowing like I never heard her before. Then there is my daughter lying on her stomach with her arms up and her head straight up looking at the cat. Well, every time the cat would meow at her, she would giggle and coo. Like she was talking to the cat or debating with her. Then as soon as she was done cooing the cat would start meowing again. It was a long conversation and it was hysterical, especially at the end. The cat meowed and the baby cooed. Well, then our very overweight very unsocial dog wobbled over to them and sat next to the cat. Then the dog started groaning and howling. The baby finally got tired of that and she let out a wail that sent the dog waddling faster than ever. The cat remained and as soon as the dog left the room, they started talking again. This went on for about an hour.
Now every time someone in the house has the baby the cat walks over and scents her by rubbing up against her. But every time the baby cries the cat will start to moan and meow really loudly and follow whoever has the baby in their arms. Needless to say I think I know two people, or at least one person and one animal that bonded right away.

3) Money in bra saves woman's life:
The incident took place Saturday in Bahia's capital, Salvador, where 58-year-old Ivonete Pereira was shot in the chest by one of two attackers who tried to rob the bus.
She was travelling to her summer home in the nearby town of Lauro de Freitas and because of frequent bus attacks in the region, she hid 150 reals (69 dollars) in 20- and 10-real notes coiled inside the left side of her bra.
When the bus passed through the Boca do Rio neighbourhood, the robbers suddenly announced their intention. A shootout ensued with a police officer on the scene and a stray bullet hit Pereira.
Her bra was stuffed with just enough cash to absorb most of the impact, although she still had to be taken to hospital to have the bullet removed.
A retired sergeant was gunned down during the shooting with the assailants, who managed to escape.

So when the lesson started today, we had to get into our groups and discuss about the stories we chose. Then we had to tell each other’s story in front of the whole class. Then we had to say what story the person wants to do. After the session was over, we had to answer the question sheet that we did the day before but this time with the story that we pick.
