Little Bob was born in a poor village in New York. His father has been ill for a long time and can not do any housework at all. Bob’s mother is very busy with the housework besides working. Bob understands how hard his mother works, and he always helps her with some housework. Though he has too much housework to do, his mother is still very strict with him. There are some family rules for Bob.
He must take good care of his things in his room and keep them tidy. If he makes them dirty, he must clean them up at once.
He is allowed to keep a parrot, a cat and a dog, but he must feed them often and give them water by himself every day. After school, he is allowed to play with his pets for a short time.
As for his clothes, he isn’t allowed to choose his own clothes. When his clothes are dirty, he should wash them by himself.

To help his friend Bassanio marry Portia, Antonia, who always offered money to others without any interest, asked a moneylender for help Shylock, whose daughter had elope with her husband because of Antonia’s help, agreed to lend money to Antonia with one condition—if he couldn’t pay back on time, he would take a pound of flesh from any part of his body. Unluckily, Antonia had trouble in his business and wasn’t able to pay the money back on time. In the end, they came to the courtroom.
The day finally came. The famous lawyer Bellario got ill and could’t be present at the courtroom. He wrote a letter to the judge to ask Portia to be Antonia’s lawyer instead.
As the trial began, the room grew quiet. Portia came in with Antonia, she spoke to Shylock first.
“Why don’t you just allow Antonia to pay you back?”
“It’s too late for that now. I don't want money, I don’t want any interest. I want a pound of flesh. Read the deal. It says that I can take the pound of flesh from any place nearest to his heart.” Shylock’s laughter went around the whole room.
“Antonia, you must get ready to die then.” said Portia Everybody in the crowd hold his breath. They couldn’t believe what they were hearing. Shylock picked up his sharp knife. It was bright and shiny. The moneylender had an evil look in his eyes.
“Come here,” he said to Antonia. “Just a minute.” said Portia, “There is another thing I need to tell you. ________, otherwise you will break the law. The judge will take all of your money and land. Do you understand?”
Shylock didn’t know what to say. Everything had changed. He couldn’t get his revenge now. His face turned red with anger. Everyone was impressed with the young lawyer. She used the terms in the deal to save Antonia. Just as the deal said, there was no mention of blood in it. Shylock couldn’t take any blood. Therefore, he couldn’t take any flesh, either.
The people in the courtroom clapped their hands. “Hooray for Portia! Hooray for Antonial!”
