Features: The content of this book: The old man with strange hair led me into the inner room and pulled open the door of the tall wardrobe. The old man never changed his clothes when he went out; perhaps this time the journey was very far, and he wanted to bring some spare clothes. I followed behind him and said, "I didn’t bring any clothes." The old man said, "No need!" He took out all the clothes and shoes that were haphazardly stacked inside and threw them all over the floor. After half of the things were removed, I noticed that there was another door on the inner wall of the wardrobe, with a plated handle on the door. I had never seen a wardrobe with a door on the back before, and I was puzzling over it when the old man, busy with his work, said, "How many wardrobes have you seen as a child!" Near the door of the cabinet, there was a small hook, with a worn-out felt hat hanging on it. The old man took down the felt hat and threw it on the ground as well. Then he climbed into the cabinet, stood on his tiptoes, and pushed the hook hard.
