What is Justice? by: Pj Miana Justice is like a sweet treat where everyone gets an equal share. It's like a game where the rules are fair for everyone, ensuring justice.

The Evolution of Cars by Pj Miana (Reading and Comprehension Exercise) Cars have come a long way since their invention in the late 19th century.
