Tales from childhood: Sense of humour.

Little Sophie liked funny jokes from her friends. Jack had a good sense of humour. He could say kind words about Beth's new dress. So, all friends started laughing and smiling including Beth.

Edward had a sense of humour, too. But he could say stupid things about somebody. Edward laid a toy spider to Johnny's table. Other children laughed but Johnny was angry and frightened.

Sophie understood that different people had different sense of humour. So, we must be carefully laugh at jokes.

Also, Edward had stupid fun with other friends.

My own poem.

Somewhere very far away,

Beautiful princess

Lived in a tower castle,

She had her own garden.

Princess loved red roses in the yard

Also, she waited for a prince on a white horse.

One day her old rose said: "You will be happy!"

Unicorn with a rainbow horn,

Played with young girl

In a tower and yard.

Suddenly damsel saw a prince in the castle

So, they arrived at another castle.

Princess became happy and met a fairy

She was stern but fair.

Legendary creature asked princess,

To take care for a white horse.

Young man wore a sword and helmet.

Prince fought with evil dragons,

Princess cared for a white horse

And with a fair visited old rose.

“There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over and men are no longer willing to be plunged into an abyss of injustice where they experience the bleakness of corroding despair.”

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

“Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a permanent attitude.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige and even his life for the welfare of others.”

“A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.”

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

“Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust.”
