DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE THIS MUCH?

A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on the road on a motorcycle...
Girl: Slow down. Im scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, its too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.
Girl hugs him
Guy: Can you take my helmet off & put it on yourself? Its bugging me.
In the paper the next day :( A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of brake failure. Two people were on it, but only one had survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his brakes broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him & felt her hug him one last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant that he would die.

Poem for peace

Our nation’s innocence is lost,Stolen by acts of hate.

Helpless people paid the cost,For them it is too late.

Daughters, sons, husbands, wives,Sisters, friends and brothers.

All of them have lost their lives,To senseless acts of others.
New York’s city has been defaced.Bodies lay in rubble.

They can never be replaced.But war won’t end our trouble.


Angers only escalate,As we point out the guilt.

Violence will perpetuate.While we dig through the silt,
Cries of anger, cries for war,Echo in the air.

As if our bombs and missiles soar,It will make it fair.
People claim “eye for an eye”Our nation wants to fight.

If their innocent people die,Then will that make US right?
Punishment surely must take place.These murderers must pay.

But they are groups and not a race.Keep liberty in mind, each day.
We are people of goodwill,Of truth and love and light.

Please give thought before you kill,Take heed before you fight.
We ask, what do we tell our children?

How do we give them ease?

Reactions set examples for them,

Should we not teach them peace?

Ulysses By Alfred Lord Tennyson

“I cannot rest from travel; I will drink
Life to the lees. All times I have enjoyed
Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone…
I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known - cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments…
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet experience is an arch where through
Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades
Forever and forever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!..
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought…
Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
For my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

Ulysses
By Alfred Lord Tennyson

Poem to say that I love you

Why I want you even it may never know
will I fire my heart.
You mean to me more than the lovely sky
no matter where I am it still in the hand of sky.

From the dark sky to the heavy rain,
no matter what I still in the sky.
Never think about the hardness it has come
I still happily in the hand of your sky.
Yet the silent still come.

I am thinking that in a moment of neglect
I might fly from this silent sky,
augh in the eyes of the man who like a sky
and beside you begin life anew.

The silent make me think this way
yet I dare not to make my way of the sky
even you wish me to be.

From behind the bars, every bright morning
the look of a child smile in my face;
when I begin a song of joy,
his lips come toward me with a kiss.

O sky, if I want one day
to fly from your silent,
what shall I say to the weeping child's eyes,
forget about me, for I am captive bird?

Fisher Man and his wife

There was a man who went fishing with his son in a river. When he dropped his fishing line into the river, it got tangled around the root of a tree but the man thought that his fishing line caught a big fish; he could not lift the line; then he told his son to go home and tell his wife to quarrel with the family and the neighbors because he did not what his relatives to ask for some fish. Then his son went to his house to tell his mother to provoke a quarrel. She put on only a strip of cloth round her chest and wearing a s short bikini and she pretended to be like a foolish woman then she painted her face black; and then went to her relatives’ houses.

All her relatives saw her in a strange condition so they asked her “Hi! Why did you do this? Why do you put that black on your face? “Then she blamed them and called them names “Damned! Are your heads heavy when I paint my face black? What is that to you. Do I hurt you when I paint my face black?

All her calling them names and they were very angry with her; then they called her names in return. Some were very angry they took her to the judge. The judge asked her to pay money to those whom she called names.

After the fisherman had told his son to ask his wife to provoke a quarrel with his relatives, he dived to take the fish that the fishing line had caught. When he dived into the water, his head was hurt by the tree which got tangled with the fishing line, his eyes began to bleed; then he fumbled around to fish the fish but he found only the root of the tree then he got out of the water and put up his hand to shield his eyes and finally he went to the place where he took off his clothes. But while he dived into the water, his clothes were blown away by the wind.

The fisherman felt very cold, his eyes pained him very much and he wanted to go home but he could not because he was naked; then he hid within a bush till night came. At night he crept in to his house but he could not because there was light so he asked for clothes from his wife. When he put in on, he entered his house. His wife told him that she gave as a fine all the money and goods to their relatives because she called them nmes.

The two lost everything; the man did not catch the fish, his eyes were hurt, his clothes were gone and his wife was fined by the judge.

THE HUNTER AND THE BIRDS

There was a hunter who had caught a black bird, a peacock and a heron. He taught them to play circus. He taught the black bird how to speak like men, and the peacock and the heron how to dance. When the hunter taught the tree birds skillfully, he took them to play circus for the king in his palace for gift and money from the king as he wanted. The king asked him “What do the tree birds know”

The hunter replied “This black bird can speak like men” then he let the black bird talk. The black bird spoke showed his knowledge in talking the human language, and then he asked the peacock to dance as well as he was taught. The king was delighted to see the two birds and he told his men to put them in the cage to be in the care of servants.

Next the hunter took the heron off the cage and let him act for the king, but the heron was a clever bird and knew bad times and good times. He thought that the black bird ad the peacock who showed their skill to the king who was delighted to their act, were put in the cage to be in the care of the king’s servants. IF I showed my skill to the king he would put me in the cage as he did to the two birds. Being always in the cage, I shall have no freedom and no happiness. So it is not good to show my dancing. Let me pretend to be ignorant. Then the heron did not dance and cried “krack! Krack!” The hunter try to make him dance but the heron did not do anything, he just cried then the king saw that the heron did not know how to cat so he told the hunter to free him. The hunter freed the heron as the king told him.

When the heron was free from the hunter he flew up and talked to the peacock and black bird “Being clever and proud and making people amused you both, peacock and black bird are in the cage. It is wonderful and happy for you but for me, it is unhappy to be in the cage so I did not show my knowledge. I pretended to be ignorant and I became hated by people then they freed me and now I will see my family whom I left. You, peacock and black bird showed your skill which tied up your neck. I do not admire at all the skill which put you in the cage. Oh poor birds, you did not knew what was good or not good for you in showing your skill so you had better live in the cage for you can not go anywhere. Thus the heron told them proudly and he flew away to his place.

The Hungry Liar

Once a boy live with his mother who fed a pig grew up, the boy wanted to eat it;; he said “Mother! I want to eat pork. Mother, may I kill your pig to eat it?”

The mother refused saying “No! Why do you like to eat so much?” keep him to sell.” When the boy heard his mother’s refusal, he still wanted to eat pork day after day.

One day, the boy woke up and told his mother “Mother! God send me a dream last night of a place where is a lot of gold. Mother! Could u go with me to bring the gold?”

The mother asked him “where is it?” “If u go with me and do as I tell you. You will see the gold?“ Said the boy.

The boys with his mother took a basket and went to the forest far away from home, then the covered a place with the basket and sat tightly on it and call his mother “Mother! Come to help me to push the basket down on this place where there is a lot of gold.

Mother! Keep on pushing it and wait for me while I run back home to get hoe to dig for the gold. Mother! Keep on pushing the basket, do not leave it. If you leave it, the gold may go away.”

When the mother heard what her son told her, she pushed on the basket strongly and waited for him to come back from home. The boy arrived home, killed the pig and asked his friends to eat and drink happily. The mother waited for him in the forest for a long time. She did not see him come back and was very tired. Her hands and legs were weary so her hand left the basket; then she looked in the basket. Nothing was in it.

When the mother knew that her son played a trick on her, she came back home. She saw her son had eaten up the pork with his friends and rank happily. She was very angry with him and told her brother “My son is very bad. I will not feed him alive any more. You must put him in the sack and throw him alive in the river.” “What was wrong with you? Why do you want to kill your son?” said her brother.

She told him “he plays a trick on me asking me to stay in the forest and to collect gold. I had waited for him along time in the forest until I was hungry. When I came back home I saw that he with his friends had killed my pig and ate it. I had only one pig which I feed for sale.”

Then her brother but the boy in the sack and brought him to the river. When he arrived at the river, the boy said to his uncle “oh my uncle! Please have pity on me. I will die so please go back home and bring my book of lies which I put on the self. When I die I will be reborn. If I do not have the art of lying how could I play trick for food? I may die again.”

The uncle took pity on his nephew, and then he went back home to pick on his nephew and then he went back home to pick up the book for him. The uncle left him by the side of the river.

At that time a leper came to the boy. On learning there was a leper near by he said “To heal my leprosy I have been in the sack a long time, but I can’t see for myself if it has been cured or not. But when I touch my body, it seems to have been cured. The leper heard that the boy was in the sack to treat the leprosy so he asked the boy “Have you ever been cured?” The boy told him “Because I have been a leper, one put me a long time in this sack for being healed but I do not know whether I have been healed or not. Please have pity on me to untie the sack.”

The leper heard the boy said he had cured then he asked the boy “May I cure my leprosy in your sack?” The boy was very happy and he thought “I won’t die. I have this leper to die for me” The boy told the leaper “If you want to heal very fast, you must not speak to him.” When the leper knew the boy’s explanation, he go in the sack and told the boy to tie it up. The boy tied the sack and went away from in.

His uncle could not find the lying book so he knew that his nephew told him a lie. He was very angry and thought “When I arrive at the river, I will throw hi into the river so he walked with a stick.

The boy wanted to be cured so he kept silent. The uncle thought that it was his nephew and after the drubbing he threw him into the water.

When the boy went away from the leper, he met another liar who bathed. That liar saw the boy from a far, he dived for a while and then emerged “I dived to the bottom of the river, I saw people playing cards. I won a lot of money but I could not take it with me. I brought only a little.”

The boy heard and trusted him so he dived into the river to take the money from the people. When he dived, he hit his head on a tree in the water and it started to bleed. Then he knew that the man who told him was a liar too. The boy planned to get even with him and came out of the water. “When I dived into the water to ask for money from people as you have told, I saw many people playing games; I won and got lot money. When I asked money from them, they told me to ask from you. If you do not believe me, look at my broken head.”

The liar knew that the boy was cleaver to lie against a liar. Finally the liar gave him some money and asked him to be brotherly so they could lie together from that day on.

The deer, the crow, and the tortoise

There were three animals who were friends: a deer, a crow and a tortoise. One day the deer went to look for food in the forest and was caught in a hunting trap. When the tortoise and the crow went to search for the deer they saw him in the trap. They asked him “why did you not see the trap?” Then the deer told them “Oh friends! I was wrong, please help me to save my life.”

The crow and the tortoise agreed to help the deer, and then the crow took some water to soften the trap. They gnawed the trap from evening to dawn, but they could not sever it, they could server only the strings. When the hunter was coming, the crow and the tortoise told the deer. “Friend! Now the hunter will come soon. We can gnaw only two strings. You must break it yourself.”

While the three animals were speaking to one another the hunter came; then the crow and tortoise left the deer alone. They entered the forest to wait for the deer. When the deer saw the hunter come near him, the deer broke the trap and went away into the forest.

The hunter was very sorry to lose the deer then he ran after to bring him back, but he could not run so fast; and then he saw the tortoise who hide in the forest. The hunter brought the tortoise back and set the trap again.

When the crow saw the hunter take the tortoise back, he told the deer a plan to save the tortoise from the hunter; then the crow said to the deer “Let the hunter run after you he will drop the tortoise down and then you must run into the forest.”

The deer agreed. When the deer ran near the hunter, he pretended to have a broken leg; he ran only three legs in front of the hunter. The hunter did not know the deer’s tricks; then he thought the deer had a broken leg, because he was caught by the trap and he ran after the deer.

When the deer looked back he saw that the hunter did not drop the tortoise yet so he planned to be a crippled animal again and ran slowly. The hunter thought “What good is this tortoise? He is enough for only two meals, but the deer will give me much meat.” The hunter dropped the tortoise, and he let the hunter get closet to him. When he was far enough from the place where the hunter dropped the tortoise, the deer came back and picked up the tortoise with his month and the crow guided them into the forest. They live in the forest peacefully.
