About the second story book: The Mystery of The Unlucky Undertaker~

Since I have read through the storybook, I think the story is quiet good enough to me. The story is about a undertaker, Augustus Heng who work for the died has been murdered by someone else. But the most strange thing is, a died body have been stolen!!! It is so terrified when I read through the passage and the undertaker likes to collect a picture just like a scorpion. The undertaker has a brother called Alfred Heng, he reported the whole things to the investigators(Alvin and his good friends). But unluckly he has been killed by somebody else too. He was shot by a guntaker and dumped in some bushes. What a sad things to him~ I think it was q challenging case to all of the investigator as well as the policeman. At last, they found out the thruth about the whole things. They decided to have a cleanup in the night. At night they ambush the SNAKE but they let him escaped. But they had caught six of the SNAKE'S men who works for the SNAKE as a killer.Well in this "gun shooting game", Alvin was shot by a killer who tried to take him out with a heart shot! But luckly he has wore a Kevlar vest so he is save by that shirt. When he went back home, he is groaning for pain!!! haha
I think i have spent more than a week of time reading this english storybook~ although I'm studying in Foon Yew High School, a chinese school in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. But i think learning more languages is good for us and our future. That is because English is geting more and more important in the mean times, every one is speaking the same languages,English~!!! So, we have to be putting more effort in learning English.
