A Monk

Article posted March 26, 2010 at 06:39 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 905

A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to
the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke down. Do you think
I could stay the night?"
The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix his car. As
the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound; a sound like no
other that he has ever heard. The next morning, he asks the monks what the
sound was, but they say, We can't tell you. You're not a monk.
The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way.
Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery.
The monks again accept him, feed him, and even fix his car.
That night, he hears the same strange mesmerizing sound that he had heard
years earlier.
The next morning, he asks what the sound was, but the monks reply,
We can't tell you. You're not a monk.
The man says, All right, all right. I'm dying to know.
If the only way I can find out what that sound do I become a monk?
The monks reply, you must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of
grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these
numbers, you will become a monk.
The man sets about his task. Some forty-five years later, he returns and
knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, I have traveled the earth and
devoted my life to the task demanded and have found what you had asked for.
There are 371,145,236, 284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219, 999,129,382
sand pebbles on the earth.
The monks reply, Congratulations, you are correct and now you are a monk.
We shall now show you the way to the sound.
The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, the sound
is behind that door.
The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He asks, May I have
the key?
The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.
Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man requests the
key to the stone door.
The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of
ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that
door is another door, this one made of sapphire. And so it went until the
man had gone through doors of emerald,...
...silver, topaz, and amethyst.
Finally, the monks say, This is the key to the last door.
The man is relieved to no end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and
behind that door he is astonished to find the source of that strange sound.
It is truly an amazing and unbelievable sight
But I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk.

The Grand Piano

so much depends
upon
a big grand
piano
polished with clean
water
beside the silent
Crowed

The Little Bird

So much depends
upon
a little green
Bird
singing in a
Tree
beside the orange
sun

By AH

Inspired by William Carlos Williams

Mary Had a Little lamb

Article posted December 1, 2009 at 10:42 AM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 264

Mary had a little lamb


Its fleece was white as snow


And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go


She brought the lamb to school one day


A generous thing to do


For now the cafeteria


Serves Mary's little lamb stew!

The dogs; A Personal Narrative

Article posted November 11, 2009 at 08:10 AM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 341

ERR-ERR-ERR the dogs are surrounding me. I can see the blood oozing onto my arms and feet. I am going to die!

When I was three I was on a summer holiday in Cannes, France in a hotel with my parents, grandparents, brother, sister and aunty. I had just learned how to run and open doors but I did not know how to close them and my favorite animals were dogs.
I was in my hotel room when my family decided to go shopping but my aunty wanted to stay with me in the hotel she was only 13 ,so I went to sleep and my aunty had a shower. Then I woke up and I thought that she was not in the house so I called for her and she ran out of the bathroom with her towel around her she explained to me that she was in the shower the whole time so then she went back into the bath so I just stared out of the window and watched the people ride their bicycles and the cars drive past. Then I heard a bark it sounded like WOOF-WOOF-WOOF.
I looked really close and I saw 2 dogs. They were going around in circles I thought that they were playing and they looked very small from where I was looking so I got out of my bed and ran to the door and into the garden and there they were. I saw the two dogs, they were rottweilers they stared at me and they surrounded me and that is when I knew that they were wild then one of them scratched me and then they both started to scratch me. They were walking around me in circles and I could feel their nails scratching my flesh. I took a deep breath and then I screamed but my aunty could not hear me .Then I started to cry... The dogs were attacking me. I thought that that was the end of me they pushed me to the floor and I started to scream.

Then my aunty ran out of the door; the dogs stared at her and then they ran off and my aunty took me up to the apartment and called my parents .They came home as fast as possible and they took me to the hospital but there was nothing wrong with me.
