What do you wish to be?

There was an assignment given by a third grade teacher to her kids in an Elementary School.

They all had to write about one subject which was: “What do you wish to be?”

The teacher collected all of her students’ assignments and took them home to read and mark them.

When she started reading and marking, one assignment engaged her attention and made her cry.

Her husband walked in and saw her crying and asked for the reason.

She said: “Read this essay please. ”

Her husband started reading the essay loudly:

“Today I would like to wish in a very different way. I know it may seem strange to you but I wish I was a TV. Because everyone likes TV and they gather around it. They pay attention to the TV and listen carefully to hear it well. Everyone stays quiet to catch what the TV is saying. My father has time to listen to the TV even when he is tired. My mother can pay attention to the TV even when she doesn’t like to do anything else. If I was a TV, they would take me seriously. I would have a special place and be center of attention. I know my wish doesn’t make sense and looks weird and unusual, but this is what I wish I was .”

Her husband continued: “What an awful parents this poor kid has. Who is she?”

The teacher wiped her tears and said: “OUR DAUGHTER”

The sparrow.

Once upon a time a sparrow got captured by a man.

The sparrow asked: “What will you do to me?”

The hunter said: “I will kill you and eat you. ”

The sparrow replied: “I am very small and would be just a little bite for you. If you let me go I will teach you three lessons which could be useful to you for a life time .”

The hunter thought that wasn’t a bad idea and responded: “Alright, tell me the first lesson now in my hand, the second lesson when you are flying and the third one when you sit on that tree. ”

 

The sparrow agreed and said: “Never regret your loss. ”

The hunter opened his hand and the sparrow continued: “Never believe the impossible. ”

The sparrow then sat on the tree and said: “If you had killed me, you could have owned the 2 kilograms of gold stone that I am carrying in my stomach. You would have been rich. But you let me go. ”

The hunter got so sad but there was nothing he could do, and asked for the third lesson.

The sparrow said: “You didn’t listen to the first two lessons, why do you need to hear the third one? I told you not to regret your loss, and you did regret losing me. I told you not to believe the impossible, how can a little bird like me carry 2 kilograms of gold?

You should know the third lesson by now; When greed comes along, people believe the impossible. And when they lose everything to reach the impossible, they regret their loss. ” And then flew away.

Born with no tail by Laleh Chini.

A long time ago, on the way to a small town, a donkey was stuck in a hole and the owner was trying hard to rescue his donkey.

A passer saw the situation and came to help.

The passer held the donkey’s tail and tried to pull hard to help the donkey come out of the hole but instead, he ripped the tail off. The owner started to yell. The passer ran away and the owner ran after him.

The passer ran into a dead end, so he entered a house without permission.

There was a pregnant woman in the house and got very scared which made her lose her fetus, so her husband started to run after the passer along with the donkey’s owner.

The passer was running fast and jumped over a wall and fell on a sick man who was there with his son and killed the sick man.

 

The son of the sick man ran after the passer along with the donkey’s owner and the pregnant woman’s husband.

On the way, a pedestrian was passing with a shepherd’s cane when the passer accidentally hit him. The cane broke and went into the pedestrian’s eye, causing it to go blind. The pedestrian as well as the others, ran after the passer.

The passer had no choice but to run to the town’s only judge.

When he entered the judge’s house without authorization, he found out the judge was with somebody’s wife and was having an affair.

After a few moments, all four complainants walked into the judge’s house and started shouting and complaining about the passer.

The judge knew in order to keep the affair secret; he had to vote against the complainants.

The pedestrian started explaining his story and asked for justice. The judge said: “how can I be sure that you didn’t hit the passer. You have to bring four eye witnesses, and if you don’t have any, you should pay a 30 coins fine for wasting a judge’s time .” The poor pedestrian paid 30 coins and left.

The son of the sick man was called and he told his story. The judge said: “The equal punishment would be for you to jump on the passer’s father just once. If his father was as sick as your father, he will die. But because the passer doesn’t have a sick father, you have to pay 30 coins as well for wasting my time. ” The son paid the fine and walked away sad and disappointed.

The husband of the pregnant woman explained what had happened and he was sad because this was their fourth loss as they had been trying to have a child.

The judge said: “you lost three babies already, why should I blame the fourth one on the passer? Pay 30 coins for wasting my time. ”

The donkey’s owner got up to leave without complaining. The judge said: “It is your turn. Why are you leaving .”

The donkey owner replied: “Your honour, my donkey was born with no tail.”

Deceived by Laleh Chini.

A hungry fox was passing by a village when he saw a rooster. Eager to relieve his hunger, the fox tried to find a way to hunt the rooster.

The fox told the rooster: “Hello friend, I knew your father, he had a great voice. How about you? Are you a good singer?”

The rooster replied: “Of course I am. In fact, I sing better than my father,” and closed his eyes to sing.

The fox’s plan worked well, it was the perfect opportunity for him to hunt the credulous rooster.  The fox jumped and grabbed the rooster with his teeth.

The rooster regretted how easy he was deceived and started to crow.

The village’s dogs heard the rooster’s crow and ran toward the fox.

The rooster told the fox: “In order to stop the dogs to follow you, you should shout and tell them, ‘This rooster doesn’t belong to your village, I got it from another village.

The fox believed that to be a great idea and opened his mouth to shout without hesitation, setting the rooster free.

The fox realized how he was tricked by the rooster and said: “Curse on the mouth that opens untimely. ''

The rooster responded: “And curse to the eyes that close untimely.”

I wish i could freeze the time at 18 by harbisolarh, Labake's blog.

🎶ɨ աɨsɦ ɨ ċօʊʟɖ ʄʀɛɛʐɛ tɦɛ tɨʍɛ at eighteen 🎶💋
Before I turned 🔞I had wishes. Which actually happened when I turned 🔞I felt like I had grown so much, felt like I was the biggest girl in the world 🌎 The first thing was having a boyfriend , before I turned 1️⃣8️⃣ whenever I see people with their boyfriends or girlfriends (I would say in my mind, I wish I could just be this age everyone call legal age). Having a boyfriend is so loving, kinda stressful, I loved him 😍 and he actually loves me back. The second was getting to taste the great deal of alcohol 🍺 before I turned 1️⃣8️⃣ i watched so many advertisements of different alcohol it is always written on it 1️⃣8️⃣ and above, I waited till I turned 1️⃣8️⃣ and I did what I wished. The third was hangout, first time I went to a club I went my friends it was so fun I danced away the boredom life I lead before I turned 1️⃣8️⃣. The fourth was a sleepover at bestie house 🏡 before I turned 1️⃣8️⃣ my mom will always say you are not yet legal to sleep out , but when I turned 18 it was a great night at bestie house.
But when I was growing older I realized there’s more to life than that I think highly, I was more matured, I got irritated 😤 going to parties 🎉.
I read more books 📚, I slept in libraries rather then a sleepover at bestie house . I watched motivational videos rather than an advertisement on alcohol 🍺.

But I had a flash back,to when I was 1️⃣8️⃣ that I wish could just freeze the time or let it stay young that it wouldn’t grow older , I wouldn’t have to think or be matured enough to stop all what I did at 1️⃣8️⃣.

Recovery by Yinka, Imperfections.

With my

old soul,

restless heart,

torn flesh,

broken heart,

fresh wound and

broken ducts.

I patiently set my flytrap

to consume my grief

And cry the rain

to drown my sorrows.

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight and closed in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom.

This is the element of freedom

Alicia Keys.

Listen to the voice of my writing by just.Tolu

I know how you’re feeling

A thousand feelings and a billion emotions

Moving at once through your mind

You try your best to act cool

Suppressing every ounce of negativity

And your mind doesn’t want to stop messing with you

Just don’t listen

I know it’s hard

I know it’s tough not to compare yourself to other people,

I know you’ve cried for so long

Begging for a breakthrough or just a slight u- turn in your life to hit the right direction,

Everything seems so bleak in your life

But don’t listen

Listen to the voice of my writing

Listen to the voice of your childhood self

Remember when you wrote that composition

Remember when you had no worries

Than just binging on your favorite cartoon

And singing along to Teletubbies

Listen to the voice of my writing

Telling you, you’ll be okay

You’ve been struggling since the day you were born

Yet you didn’t stop living

Why quit now?

And miss the happiness of tomorrow because of a minor setback

Why? When you can listen to the voice of God

Saying “you’ll be fine”

Love making sense.

An elderly man hurried to his 8:00am doctor appointment, he wanted to finish quickly so that he could get to another appointment. The doctor asked what it was, and the old man proudly said that every morning at 9:00am he would go to the hospital and have breakfast with his wife.

The doctor asked what her condition was, and he replied that for the past 5 years his wife has had Alzheimer’s and hasn’t known who he is. The doctor asked the old man why he continued to visit her of she had no idea who he was…and the old man replied…” Because I still know who she is.” Beautiful words of unconditional love.

Flowers be honest.

 Once upon a time there was a young prince who wanted to get married. He knew that every girl would marry him for his name and power, but he wanted to find true love. He invited all the young girls in his kingdom whether they were poor or rich, famous or unknown.

One of the young girls invited was the daughter of the palace’s gardener. She saw the prince every day from a distance and loved him secretly like all the other girls in his kingdom.

At the day of the prince’s party, he handed one seed to each girl and announced that he would wed the girl that could develop the most beautiful and healthy flower from the seed.

Like all the other girls, the palace gardener’s daughter planted the seed in a pot and took great care of it, waiting for it to grow. Weeks passed and the girl did not even see a sprout. She tried so hard and used different methods of nourishing plants taught by her father, yet there were still no signs of any growth.

The girls of the kingdom had 3 months to grow their seed and bring their pots to the most important party, which was for the prince to choose his future bride.

All of the girls gathered with beautiful colorful pots full of flowers except the gardener’s daughter whose pot was just full of soil. She walked to the line with shame and disappointment.

The prince greeted all the girls and saw their flowers carefully, and then announced, “My future wife will be the girl with the honest flower. ”

All the girls got excited and looked at each other’s pots, hoping that the prince was talking about their flowers.

The prince pointed at the gardener’s daughter with the pot full of soil. He said, “I choose her. She is the most honest girl in my kingdom. The seed that I handed to each one of you was infertile and none of you could’ve possibly grown anything out it. You all lied just to be my wife. ”

So the prince happily married the honest girl.
