THE SHORT STORY

 The Wicked Crow and the Innocent Sparrow

Once there were two friends in the forest - a sparrow and a crow. One day while hunting for food they saw some red chillies spread on a mat to dry. The crow spoke to the sparrow and said "Let's find out who can eat the most number of chillies first. The one who loses has to agree to whatever the winner says."

The sparrow agreed and they started eating the chillies. But the crow cheated. For every Chillie he ate he hid three others under the mat.When all  the chillies were finished the crow said, "I ate more chillies than you did. I am the winner. You must now agree to whatever I say". Then the crow jumped at the sparrow and said "I am going to eat you now". "All right",said the sparrow."But you must wash your beak before you eat me".

So the crow went to the river to get some water. "But you must bring a pot first.",said the river.The crow went to the potter to get a pot."But you must bring a mammoty to mix the clay first.",said the potter.The crow then went to the blaksmith to get a mommoty."But you must bring some fire to heat the furnace first."said the blacksmith.

The crow went to the farmer's wife to get some fire."But how are you going to carry the fire?" asked the farmer's wife. "Put it on my back", said the crow. So the farmer's wife put some red-hot coal under the crow's wings.The Wicked crow was burnt and dead.So think twice a before making a mistakes. Because you will definitely be punished for your mistake.

MY FAVOURITE ENGLISH TEACHER

I have many teachers throughout my school life who have guided me and moulded me into a fine student. I'm ever so grateful to all of them who have shown me the correct path in life. I shall always remember them with gratitude and whish them good health and happiness throughout their life. There was one teacher who impressed me a lot out of all of them. She was Mrs. Amaya Senevirathna. Engllish, being my favourite subject i always had a special interest in learning the subject. The English teacher whome i met in grade eight was a very special one. She was very smart and always well dressed. She had short hair and very pleasent manner of talking. She was a very strict teacher but knew her subject well. When she enters the class room we all stand up and greet her. She receproccates our greeting with a smile. Before she gets down to the lesson she used to always make the class lively by either singing a song or reciting a poem with the students. We enjoyed this very much. When she begi

CLOWNS

Clowns enjoy making people laught. It's their job. They like it. They paint their face and put on funny nose. They smile a lot, but here's a funny thing - when they are not smiling , the make - up on their faces makes them look sad. Mostly though, clowns smile and laugh, they also wear funny clothes and funny shoes. We see them most often in circuses. They run, jump, fall down turn somersaults and cartwheels, do handstand and bunny rolls. They ride donkeys backwards, push each other in wheelbarrows and pour flour and buckets of water over each other when they pretend to be angry. Clowns have to work hard, though. They must train to keep fit and active. They must work long hours but the pay is quit low for most of them. They are kind people usually and they sometimes give a show free to an orphans' home or a hospital. Sick children and old people too, usually feel better after seeing the clowns. In fact ther is a saying "Lauhhter is the best medicine'.
