  Unit Ten Diplomatic Friction
  A newly inaugurated impervious US submarine with diesel impetus was taking an imperative task near an insular navy base in Japan. As it made its way across the intrinsic flows, an inconceivable fish boat suddenly emerged in front of them. The indolent captain was so imprudent and inert that he turned the steer too late. It was a big submarine with great inertia and the fish boat was in an inept position. It was stricken hard, and the influx of water into the boat’s interior space caused the boat to sink in impotence.
  The imposing accident incited incisive diplomatic frictions after short interlude. Incensed local fishermen were indignant and impetuous. They incriminated the US navy for insulting their nation. Some of them even instigated local governors with inordinate incentive.
  A group was set up to inquire the accident. After some inquisitive inquiry, they imputed the matter to the fish boat and tried to act as the intermediary to intercede between the fishermen and the US navy. However, the local fishermen were insubordinate and intrepid. Although they’re indigent and make livings on indigenous products, they decided to indict the US navy. Their action gained impassioned support and incessant invocation from the mass people. They hoped the insolent US navy could pay the indemnity.
  The impassive governors, however, feared being implicated in the trouble. They intimidated the fishermen by instilling that, the US navy had innate privileges, and insinuated that their inflexible indictment was ineligible. But the fishermen were indomitable and inverted the infusing. The lawsuit began eventually.
  All the crew of the submarine was interrogated. Finally all the incredulity dissipated: the intrinsic fault lay in the captain’s incipient operation error. Although almost impeccable in the past, there’s no impunity for him. When the indented judgment text was announced, the fisherman improvised an impromptu verse to mock the government’s improvident waste of time.

  Unit Eleven Story on the Lawn

  At 40°latitude, 110°longitude there was a large area of luxuriant lawn. A river meandered through the grassland, manuring it with fresh water. A liberal girl lived there, whose merits was her matchless beauty and irreproachable ken. Her hair was lithe and her eyes limpid. Every morning she would wear her laurel and lash her sheep onto the lawn. The mediocre life elapsed in lull for many, many years.
  One day an itinerant nobleman came to the lawn. He was authorized by an irrevocable legislation to levy the place. He had malady in his leg and had to limp all the time, and all people jeered at his jolting languid muscle when he came. Some children’s malicious mimicry to his walking manner greatly irritated him.
  As he saw the girl, his eyes were filled with luster and his lust arose: “Aha, a menial meek girl with fine malleable skin! She reminds me of my newly-marital life.”
  Full of malice, he kindled a cigar and accosted the girl: “You’re such a methodical girl with manifold talents. I’ve learned of a maxim saying that, phoenix cannot reside on a small tree, and I can liberate you from the leash of husbandry. You should lease your sheep to others and go with me to the maritime capital city whose prosperity is lauded by all.”
  The girl was not at all irresolute. She replied in listless tone: “Look at the irreverent smile on your face and the ugly ledge on your leg. By meticulous observation, I loathe you. Your maneuver cannot jumble my mind and languish my alert.”
  “Maligning!” shouted the nobleman.
  After some liaison, many lusty malcontents came to the girl and drove the nobleman away.
