The story is told about the Russian Emperor Alexander I. Once he was travelling somewhere in Russia, maybe to visit a relative or a nobleman, or on business. That is irrelevant anyway. They stopped at a station to change horses. While the servants were busy, Alexander I entered the station to keep himself warm. On the table in the room he saw an open Bible. The Tsar asked the stationmaster: “Do you read it?” The stationmaster answered promptly:”Certainly, Your Majesty! Every day!” When the man
There is a single red rose, not more young and fresh but its petals are still dark red like blood. You can already see how fall is starting to wither the petals. A man is passing the rose, he's stopping his step in front of the rose.. He's charmed by its beauty and he's enjoying the scent. There are so many fresh roses around the old rose but he isn't noticing it, he is seeing only this bloodred rose and he wants to possess only this rose, that is it what he wants. The blood-red rose is feeling
I will introduce a funny song to you. It is Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen.This song became famous because a famous musician, Justin Bieber, tweeted that he liked the song.

I saw his interview about the song. He makes songs with a computer. One day he sat in front of a desk in order to make a song. He had already made the rhythm of the song at that time, so he only needed to make the lyrics. When he was listening to the rhythm, he had a pen and there was an app
The prince and the fairy
He is looking forward to meeting her again. He's wearing a green suit with a white shirt under the jacket. The top button of his shirt is open, and he doesn't wear a tie.
He's excited and can't wait to see her.
For a year he hasn't seen her, and his longing is strong. His brown eyes are flickering He is feeling goosebumps all over his body.
Just once a year, and only for one night, he can see and touch her.
She is waiting too, and she is wearing a yellow dress with beautifu
I was busy hoping when I noticed a slow irksome creature crawl that feet-tall dried plant. I came near it to check who that was. This morning painted boring and my mind was only preoccupied of the upcoming spring. Oh, how I love to trick my fellow insects when it is spring, they are all forgiving. But that day, almost in the last days of winter the surroundings were so dull and unexciting. I hopped and hopped and hopped and went closer to that glutton. “Hey, glutton! You look awful!” while laug
Once upon a time there was a young man. During that time parents chose brides and grooms for their children. So, one day Zimi's parents chose a girl as his bride. But zimi was not happy with it as he wanted to choose someone himself.
Finally, the wedding day came. Zimi put his wedding clothing sulkily, ate almost nothing, did not laugh! His mother watched him and asked but Zimi did not share anything.
Later wedding took place and having been married they went to a place near a mountain. Having arr
There are two cats in my house. They are very cute and lively. Let's hear their spring talk!
Lili' Hey, Ziao do you know when spring will come?'
Ziao:' What didn't you notice it is about to come?'
Lili: Really, but how do you know?'
Ziao: 'Why did not you hear how our master was talking last night with his bosom friend?'
lili, 'No, I didn't, please tell me, you know I am also eagerly waiting for the spring.'
Ziao: 'Well, last night he was planning (over phone) to do picnicking next weekend. He was la
In response to Danny writing challenge: Spring Fairly Tale, though this is not a fairy tale in that sense.
She was gone, disappeared. I was feeling that she was getting sick, her color was fading, getting white, day by day. When I looked at her, a pinching shiver used to sweep throughout my body.
“Are you sick? You are looking so colorless, what is happening to you?”
There rose a feeble smile on her fading lips, the lips which were so red when I saw her first, so full of life. It was very hard
That was a nice evening. I got up and went to the kitchen to make coffee in my desi way. I first put a cup of milk in a pot and put it on the electric burner. Let it boil. When it has been boiled, I put one full spoon of Nescafe into it and let it boil. After one or two minutes, it the coffee grain completely mixed and dissolved into the milk. My coffee was ready. I poured into my coffee mug and took it outside into my gallery. I put the mug on the small round table and sat down on my ch
Once this conversation happened between a woman and her house maid. The house maid came from a remote area.
Woman: 'Sujana, do you know where is my raincoat?'
Sujana: ' Mam, what is this raincoat?'
Woman: ' Oh...it is a thing which we should put on when we have rain.'
sujana: 'Okay, mam, I got your number and what's its colour?'
Woman:' it is deep pink coloured and most probably I put it in my closet.'
Sujana:' Okay, I will try to find it, no worries.'
Next day Sujana found the raincoat along with sum
Is your nose too big? What about your lips... are they too thin? Do you think your behind should be bigger? As you know, nowadays everything can be fixed, just one must have ehm… big money to get involved with this modern "hobby". Honestly speaking, sometimes I don't believe my eyes, when I see on the Internet pictures of people, who became plastic surgery addicts. In fact I don't know whether I should pity them or should be angry with the doctors, who are able to destroy appearance of so many p
Yes, I'm going to talk about 'the passive of perfective verbs'.
The passive or passive voice is formed with the different tenses of 'be' and the past particle of a verb, for example, we can say 'My bike was stolen'. You may wonder if you can say 'My bike is stolen'?
Good question! My answer is yes. If you use the past tense 'was', you're emphasizing the action - you mean your bike was stolen by someone, yesterday or any day in the past. When you say 'My bike is stolen', you just mean the 'result
Before you react sarcastically, let me remind you that we are dealing with plants here. So have you killed your plants unintentionally but you felt guilty towards them? If your answer is yes, then you’re not alone.
Most gardeners especially the new ones have committed this crime plenty of times. Even expert horticulturists have admitted themselves feeling abashed by this dilemma. But the good news is that there are simple ways to prevent it from happening again in the future.
Firstly, the most com

On 9th April, United Airlines, which is an American airline company, had to make four passengers get off an airplane because of overbooking, and they said they selected four passengers at random by a computer. However it was said that it might be racial discrimination because they were all Asian people. The airplane had planned to fly in the U.S, so there must have been many non-Asian people in the airplane.
The three passengers got off the airplane without protesting but one person didn't get
