farmer tokk it home.

At night, the farmer dreamt a giant hedgehog met him. It asked him to let it stay in the
house. In return, it would give the farmer everything he wanted. It asked the farner to caress its
head and utter his wish. It told the farmer that there were two kinds of words, one was to start the

He asked for rice. Suddenely, rice came out from the mouthof the statue. The rice kept on

Do you agree that night patrols should be done by resident, not security guards? What are
the reasons?
First residents are familiar with each other. This is an advantage as people in big cities
rarely know each other.
Second, people have an equal sense of responbility for keeping their neighbourhood safe.
They will keep an eye on their neighbour’s house especially when the house is empty or the
owner of the house is old and alone.
Third, that the neighbourhood is still alive.
Fourth, each time residents go around the neighbourhood, they will see the conditions of
their neighbour’s lives. This activitywill increase the sense of social and solidarity among
residents.
Finally, residents so not need to spend their money to pay security guards. They can use
the money to fulfill other needs.
However, those whi disagree with this activity claim that night patrols will make them
sleepy the following all day, so night patrols are less optimal. They also argue that every
