Features: The content of this book: The strange old man led me into the inner room and pulled open the door of the tall wardrobe. The strange 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 strange old man said, "No need!" He dug out 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 it. I had never seen a wardrobe with a door behind it before, and I was puzzling over it when the strange old man, busy with his work, said, "How many wardrobes have you seen as a child!" Next to the there was a small hook, with a worn-out felt hat hanging on it. The strange old man took down the felt hat and threw it on the ground as well, then squeezed into the wardrobe, stood on his tiptoes, and pushed the hook hard.
