the wonderful story of henry sugar and six more by roald dahl

Being a gambling addict, he uses this power to cheat in casinos. After reading a forgotten book documenting an Indian Yogi's powers (possibly based on the actual Indian mystic Kuda Bux), Henry eventually discovers he is one of the rare people who is able, through years of concentrated study, to gain special yogic powers that allow him to see using any part of his body, and also to see the reverse side of playing cards. This is the central, largest story in the book, and claims to be a true account of a rich bachelor referred to as Henry Sugar. They end up torturing him and attaching swan wings to him to get him to “fly” so they can shoot him. It’s a story about a boy bullied by two bullies who like to shoot swans. This is a non-fiction account of a labourer named Gordon Butcher who uncovered a large quantity of ancient Roman treasure in a field that he was ploughing for a farmer named only as Ford. This is another fictional first person narrative that simply charts an eventful journey that the narrator had when he picked up a hitch-hiker who turned out to be an extremely skilled thief – a so-called 'fingersmith'.

This is a first-person narrative fiction piece of medium-length writing, telling of how the narrator remembers a child that used to be able to talk to animals, and as a consequence of this is able to save a turtle that would otherwise have been killed by some malicious fishermen.The boy was then seen riding the turtle the next day, having run away.
