God does exist

A man went to barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked a bout so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: “I don’t believe that God exists.”
“Why do you say that?” asked he customer.
“well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving a God who would allow of these things.”
The customer though for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after e left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and on untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: “you know what? Barbers do not exist.”
“How can you say that?” asked the surprised barber. “I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!”
“No!” the customer exclaimed. “Barbers don’t exist because if they did. There would be on people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside”.
“Ah, but barbers Do exist! What happens, is, people do not come to me”.
“Exactly! ” Affirmed the customer. ” That’s the point! God, too, does exist! What happens, is, people don’t go to him and do not look for him. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world”.

The Dog in the Manger
Illustrated by Edwin Fong
A Dog, looking out for its afternoon nap, jumped into the Manger of an Ox and lay there cozily upon the straw. But soon the Ox, returning from its afternoon work, came up to the Manger and wanted to eat some of the straw.
The Dog in a rage, being awakened from its slumber, stood up and barked at the Ox, and whenever it came near attempted to bite it.
At last the Ox had to give up the hope of getting at the straw, and went away muttering...
People often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.

Rare flower

Make sentences with these words:
Snow- grow-field-pick-wise
Wonder- funny- foreign- travel.

One day I with my family travel to the foreign country. The weather in that country is very bad and usually snow in it.
One day in that country we go to the field until I get some milk of cow that there was in that field suddenly. I see a wise flower that grows in the snow. I asked of the farmer that works there, in the field.
I asked abut the flower and he answer: this flower is very few in world and that is very wonderful. In this time we see that a sheep pick the flower and was eating her flower. This was very funny and I laugh very but the farmer was very angry, & I wonder the sheep is a silly animals.

The Fox and the Goat
Illustrated by Jeremy Hollister


By an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which he could not get out. A Goat passed shortly afterwards, and asked the Fox what he was doing down there. "Oh, have you not heard?" said the Fox; "there is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down here in order to be sure to have water by me. Why don't you come down too?"



The Goat thought well of this advice, and jumped down into the well. But the Fox immediately jumped on her back, and by putting his foot on her long horns managed to jump up to the edge of the well. "Good-bye, friend," said the Fox.
Remember next time...





Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

Fear of death/life after death.

Although we don’t like to admit it, one day our life will end.
-How do you feel about it?
-Are you afraid of death?
-and if you are, where does it come from?
-So,… we think it’s because death is something uncertain. As if you fall into a big, deep hole and you don’t know what will be there at the end. That’s exactly the right question, it’s sure that
-There will be something after life. But what?! ?
-Rebirth?
-A kind of paradise?
-Our just nothing, like an endless sleep without any dream?
-Yes, you get afraid of it, but it’s important to think about death, because: what is life without it?


Answers: Death is liaison between this leaping and that world. The life after death share to two levers:
1- very good and another worthy of imagination. 2-very bad and severely dreadful.
This is that where you are in that world it depends on to the fact that what you are do in this leaping. Minimum you must to be useful for yourself and also other person.
This is one of the origins for victory in this leaping. That if you do it go to the paradise is very easily; and if you are careless to yourself certainly, you are in the hell.
I think the fear of death for this the person don’t know. They are member which lever.
And I have faith to this because I have faith to my religion. The religion that say the common God between all faith, it is the best perfect faith.

The foolish wives

Long ago there was a man with two wives. One of them was young. She had long black hair. The other was old. Her hair was white. The man was not young and he was not old. Some of his hair was black and some of it was white.
They were all very happy but the young wife thought, ‘My husband is older than I am. His hair is gray but my hair is black,’ and the older wife thought, ‘my husband is younger than I am. His hair is gray but my hair is white.’
They did not say anything but they decided to do something. Every day, after dinner, the man had a little sleep. First his old wife came to him and pulled out some black hairs.
‘That is much better,’ she said. ‘I am making your hair white and beautiful.’ Then she went away. Then the young wife came. She pulled out some white hairs.
‘That is much better,’ she said. ‘I am making your hair black and beautiful.’
They did this for many weeks. One day the husband woke up. ‘My head is cold,’ he said. He touched his head. ‘I have no hair!’ he said. There was not one hair on his head!

Belling the Cat
Illustrated by Suzanne Palmer
Once upon a time, all the mice met, together in council, to discuss the best means of securing themselves against the attacks of the cat.
After several suggestions had been debated, a Mouse of some standing and experience got up and said, "I think I have hit upon a plan which will ensure our safety in the future, provided you approve and carry it out. It is that we should fasten a bell around the neck of our enemy the cat, which will, by its tinkling, warn us of her approach."
This proposal was warmly applauded, and it had been decided to adopt it, when an old Mouse got upon his feet and said, "I agree with you all that the plan before us is an admirable one: but may I ask who is going to bell the cat?"
It is easy to propose impossible remedies.

The Ant and the Grasshopper
Illustrated by Scott Roberto
In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"
"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same."
"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil.
When the winter came the Grasshopper found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing, every day, corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer.

Then the Grasshopper knew...
It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.

Proverb:

1- Better later than never.
“It’s better to do some thing late than not
To do it at all”


2-old habits die hard.
“It is very difficult to change an established
Behavior”


3-Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
“Don’t complain a bout something that is given to you”



4-Two heads are better than one.
“Two people working together can solve a problem quicker
and better than a person working alone.”

The clever schoolboy


A schoolboy lived in a small house, at the side of a big house. The schoolboy’s father and mother did not have much money and it was a very small house. The schoolboy worked very hard. He went to school in the morning. In the afternoon he helped his father. His father was a farmer.

At night the boy did his school work.
There was only one lamp in the house. Every night his father and mother went to bed.
Then the boy started to do his school work. He put the lamp on the table in front of him. Then he read his books and wrote in his exercise books.

One night his lamp went out.

‘I cannot see,’ he said, ‘I cannot do my work. What can I do? We have one lamp and it is no good. I cannot buy a lamp. I have no money.’

Then he said, ‘The man in the big house has a lot of money. He has a lot of lamps. I am going to ask him for one.’

He went outside and knocked on the door of the big house. A man opened the door.

‘Why are you knocking on my door?’ he said. ‘What do you want?’

‘Please, sir,’ said the boy, ‘may I have one of your lamps? I cannot do my school work. My lamp is no good.’

‘No,’ said the man. ‘You cannot have one of my lamps. I want all my lamps.’

‘But, sir,’ said the boy. ‘You have a lot of lamps and I haven’t one. Please give me one. I cannot do my work.’

‘No!’ said the man. ’Go away.’

He closed the door.

The boy went back to his house.

‘What can I do?’ he asked. ‘There is a street lamp but I cannot work in the street. All my friends have lamps but they are working, too. I cannot buy a lamp. I have no money. What can I do?’

Then the moon came up and started to shine through the boy’s windows.

‘Good!’ said the boy. ‘Now I can read my book.’

He started to read the first page. Then big black clouds came into the sky.

‘Oh dear!’ said the boy. ‘Now I cannot see.’

Then he saw a box of matches.

‘I can see with these matches,’ he said.

But there were not many matches in the box. The boy read two pages of his book. Then there were no more matches.

‘What is he doing? Can you see? He is making a hole in the wall. It is not a very big hole. The man in the big house cannot see t. It is a small hole.

The light is shining through the hole in the wall. It is shining on the boy’s book.

‘Now I can see,’ he is saying. ‘Now I can read and write. Now I can do my work. I have no lamp but I can see.’

He was a very clever boy.

The last photo

It is Saturday afternoon. Martin and his sister Pam are in Cambridge for the day.
They are looking at the beautiful old building of this University City.
Pam has a camera with her. She likes taking photos and sometimes they are very good. But sometimes they are not very good and Martin laughs at them. It is five o'clock. Pam and Martin are going home now. They are tired after their long day. They are in the garden near the bus station. "Let's have a last photo of you," says Pam.
"Oh no, not again," says Martin.
"Come on," says Pam. "It's the last one. I want to finish the film in my camera."
"Oh, all right," says Martin. He stands in front of the flowers. "Look at me," says Pam and takes a photo. A man with a big rucksack on his back walks between Pam and Martin.
"Oh no," says Pam. "Now I've got a picture of that man, not of you, Martin." The man looks at Pam. He is angry. He goes across the road without a word.
"That man isn't very nice is he?" says Martin.
"No," says Pam. "And that was the last picture on the film, too." The man with the rucksack on his back goes into the bus station. He has got sunglasses and a blue hat.
"Come on," says Martin. "Let's find our bus." They go into the bus station.
"Look," says Martin. "There's that man again. He's getting into that bus. He's going to Aberdeen. That's in Scotland."
"Good," says Pam. "Far from here and far from me!" she is angry with the ma Three day's later, on Tuesday; Pam has got her photos from the shop.
"Look at these," she says to Martin. "They're the photos of us in Cambridge."
"Oh, these are all very good," says Pam. "Look. It's that man with the rucksack." In the photo the man is in front of Martin. You cannot see Martin behind the man's rucksack
"Wait a minute," says Martin. "I know that face. It's in the newspaper. Have you got it?"
"Today's newspaper?" says Pam. "Yes, it's here. Why?"
"Yes, here he is. Look at this picture," says Martin. Pam looks at the newspaper. "Who's that? She asks. "It says in the paper his name's Alan Rook," says Martin. "And he works in a bank in London. But on Monday morning-yesterday morning- no Alan Rook! The people at the bank don't know where he is. And they say he's got a hundred thousand pounds with him. The police are looking for him, too."
"But is that the man in my photo?" asks Pam. "He hasn't got a beard and he hasn't any hair."
"Look at his ears. Look at his nose," says Martin. "It's him. I know it is." Martin has an idea. He takes a pencil and starts to draw on the newspaper. "What are you doing?" asks Pam.
“Look,” says Martin. “I’m putting dark glasses and a two-day beard on the man in this photo. Now I’m drawing a hat on his head. See? Now look at the two pictures.” “You’re right,” says Pam. “It’s him. It’s Alan Rook.” “Come on,” says Martin. “Let’s take these pictures to the police.” At the police station Pam and Martin speak to a policeman. They put Pam’s photo and the newspaper on the table and they tell their story.
“That’s Alan Rook,” says the policeman. “ In Cambridge at 5 o’clock on Saturday. The big question is
-where is he now?”
“We think we know. He’s in Scotland, in Aberdeen,” says Pam. “Or he’s near there.” They tell the policeman about the man and the bus to Aberdeen.
“He’s got a rucksack and a tent on his back in the photo,” says the policeman. “He isn’t living in a hotel. He’s camping. If we’re lucky, he’s still in Scotland. I must make a telephone call.” The policeman telephones the police station in Aberdeen.
“Alan Rook’s in Scotland,” he says. “We think he’s camping near Aberdeen. He’s got a short beard now.” The next day the police in Aberdeen find Alan Rook in a tent in the mountains near Aberdeen. The money from the bank is in his rucksack. The next morning Pam and Martin’s story is in all the newspapers. There is Pam’s photo of Alan Rook at the bus station. There is a picture of Martin and Pam, too. In the newspaper it says: CAMERA GIRL GETS OF ROOK POLICE IN ABERDEEN FIND BANK MONEY.
The people at the bank are very happy. They give Pam and Martin a thousand pounds. “My last photo’s a good one after all,” laughs Pam. “Now I can buy a very good new camera.”

The Bundle of Sticks
Illustrated by Michael Chan
A father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks.
When they had done so, he placed the bundle into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next opened the bundle, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily.
He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this bundle, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
Union gives strength.

The jar of sweets

One day a woman said to her son, ‘There are some sweets in the kitchen. They are in a jar. You can go and take some.’
The boy ran into the kitchen and found the jar of sweets. He put his hand into the jar and took a lot of sweets. Then he began to cry.
‘I cannot get my hand out of jar,’ he shouted. ‘The neck of the jar is too small. What can I do? Help me!’
His mother walked into the kitchen and looked at him. ‘You are a foolish boy,’ she said. ‘Your hand is full of sweets. Drop some. Then your hand can come out.’
