yet again this week. When his teacher reminded

just forgot it on the kitchen counter.

I love the first page of a new notebook. I write
the date crisply. My whole name marches exactly
along the line. The spaces are always even. The
commas curl just so. I never have to erase on
the first page. Never!

Did you know that there is more than one spoken
Chinese language? For thousands of years,
someone who spoke only Cantonese (a dialect, or
variation, of Chinese) could not understand
someone who spoke Mandarin (a different dialect).
Yet both could read the same writing. But if
each read the same writing aloud, it sounded like
two different languages. Puzzling, isnt it? This
happened because the Chinese language has evolved
to include hundreds of dialects. These dialects
sound as different from each other as English
sounds from German. Yet written, they are all the
same.
400

There is more than one spoken Chinese language,
yet they are all written the same. The
variations which have evolved into hundreds of
dialects make it so they are difficult to
understand when they are spoken, but not when
they are read.

One Saturday morning Abby's Mum came upstairs to
see Abby in her bedroom. Or tried to. There was
so much mess on the floor she could only poke her
head around the door. Abby sat in the middle of
it all reading a book.      "What a tip," Mum
said. "You need to have a clear up in here."
     "Why?" Abby asked.      "Why?" Mum
repeated. "Because things get broken or lost when
they're all willy-nilly like this. Come on, have
a tidy up now."      "But I'm very busy," Abby
argued, "and it's boring on my own. Can't you
help me?"      "No I can't, I'm busy too. But
I'll give you extra pocket money if you do a good
job."
On the next slide will be a connection. What
kind of a connection do you see?

In the story, the mom is very busy and cant
help her daughter clean up her messy room. It
reminds me of my own daughters. I get so busy
that I usually dont have time to help them
clean, and they dont like to do it without me.
When I think about the character in the story, I
really feel sorry for her because I know how my
daughters must feel when I tell them I am too
busy.

Outside, yellow, gold, and red leaves were
leaping from swaying trees, landing on the roof,
jumping off the roof, and then chasing one
another down the street in tiny whirlwinds of
merriment.      Tommy watched in fascination.
     "If I was a leaf, I would fly clear across
the world," Tommy thought and then ran out into
the yard among the swirl of colors.      Mrs.
Pennington came to the front porch.      "Tommy,
I have your jacket. Please put it on."     
However, there was no Tommy in the front yard.
     "Tommy?"      Tommy was a leaf. He was
blowing down the street with the rest of his
play-mates.
On the next slide will be a connection. What
kind of a connection do you see?

In the story about Tommy and the leaves, I
thought about the story we read when the girl
imagined she was flying over the houses on her
rope swing. Both stories used imagination. It
helped me to become part of the story and imagine
myself flying.

• She doesnt like her teacher, and neither do I.
• None of these coincidences help me to understand
  the story.

A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of
cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a
tree.      "That's for me, as I am a Fox," said
Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of
the tree.      "Good day, Mistress Crow," he
cried. "How well you are looking today how
glossy your feathers how bright your eye. I feel
sure your voice must surpass that of other birds,
just as your figure does let me hear but one
song from you that I may greet you as the Queen
of Birds."      The Crow lifted up her head and
began to caw her best, but the moment she opened
her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground,
only to be snapped up by Master Fox.      "That
will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In
exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece
of advice for the future "Do not trust
flatterers."

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 had no food and 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 days
of need.

A miser sold all that he had and bought a lump
of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground
by the side of an old wall and went to look at
daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent
visits to the spot and decided to watch his
movements. He soon discovered the secret of the
hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the
lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his
next visit, found the hole empty and began to
tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A
neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and
learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so
but go and take a stone, and place it in the
hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying
there. It will do you quite the same service for
when the gold was there, you had it not, as you
did not make the slightest use of it."

In order for money to be of value, you have to
do something with it. Leaving it lie in a hole,
you could just as well have rocks.

A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near
a village, brought out the villagers three or
four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when
his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them
for their pains.      The Wolf, however, did
truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really
alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror "Pray, do
come and help me the Wolf is killing the sheep"
but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor
rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no
cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or
destroyed the whole flock.      There is no
believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
