The Girl with Green Eyes--One Way Ticket (Oxford Bookworms)

{Updated November 3, 2014}

The name of this story is important. In old Chinese stories, some ugly monsters have red hair and green eyes. In the West, however, we think that women with red hair and green eyes are beautiful and even sexy. When we see the name of story #1 in One Way Ticket ("The Girl with Green Eyes"), many westerners will think this is a story about a sexy woman.

Here is a portrait of Julia Roberts. Do you like Julia with red hair?

Some people think it's OK to have a beautiful girlfriend, but if your wife is too beautiful, it's dangerous. Other men might steal her! Ugly wives are better. Maybe very handsome husbands are dangerous, too! What do you think? Please leave your comment below.
