And here are the respective summaries. Actually I am not sure what I am doing this for. While I convince myself that it is just a record to show that I have read it, or to just remember what the stories are about, in actual fact, and under close analysis (if I type it in Malay it would be hilarious(analisis)), you will find that these explanations have no logic internalised in it. But if you don't understand what I just said, becuase I don't understand my flawed logic either. Nver mind, here they are.

The Atavism of the John Tom Little Bear: ??? sorry, I am not making any effort to understand this.

Babes in the Jungle: This is quite funny, because in this case people who think that they can get easy money quick by fooling the people there get tricked of 2000 dollars plus.

The Badge of Policeman O'Roon: Grr, I don't understand its implications. Somehow two people who change positions for a while get into trouble.

Best-Seller: The man in this story claims that all best-sellers are dependent on plots which do not exist in real life. However, he has been living a fairy tale all along!

Between Rounds: Are stories meant to have morals, since I cannot find any in this story about a couple quarelling and stopping for a while upon hearing that their neighbour had lost their child, then resuming the fight due to some snide remark the husband uttered.

Bexar Scrip No. 2692: This is in some ways ahorror mystery story in which a person turns into a criminal in order to keep his respected reputation respected, thus showing the cruelty of human nature.

Birds of Bagdad: What type of hen lays the longest? Note the lay is agrammar mistake and it actually means lie, or to lie somewhere. Alternatively, you can read this story for the answer.

A Blackjack Bargainer:The man gets to end an old feud and receive 200 dollars at the same time, but he has lost the trust of the reader.

Blind Man's holiday: Another story I don't understand, when the man who marries another lady find out that the lady has gone to work but I still don't understand its implications.

Brickdust Row:The man who is in charge of the district goes out with one of the girls there and gets angry with the people who go out with her?

The Brief Debut of Tildy:A waiter who has always looked at her beautiful colleague get courted by gentlemen finally got kissed by a man and is elated, but finds out that the man had acted on the influence of alcohol.

Buried Treasure: The man who continues courting with brazenness and determination will get what he wants.

The buyer from Cactus City: The man who tries to "buy" the girl with money is rejected.

By Courier:A boy who acts as a messenger between a supposed broken up couple reconciles their relationship.

The Caballero's Way:I think the ranger killed the wrong person: the wife of the person he wanted to kill as instructed by the wife.

The Cactus:A very short story about a memory of a girl?

The Caliph and the Cad:A man impersonates the Caliph and acts as a gentleman but I think he longs to be rude to women

The Caliph, Cupid and the Clock:It seems that one must always give a chance to yourself for miracles might happen.
