Entry 1
Item 1: Poem
“If I were a bee and you were a rose,
Would you let me in when the gray wind blows?
Would you hold your petals wide apart,
Would you let me in to find your heart,
If you were a rose?
If I were a rose and you were a bee,
You should never go when you came to me,
I should hold my love on my heart at last,
I should close my leaves and keep you fast,
If you were a bee."

Item 2:Story
“Monkey and her baby
One day the king of the gods decided to find out which of
the animals had the most beautiful baby. So he asked every kink of animal to
come and show him their baby. He said he would give the animal with the most
beautiful baby and a big prize.
All the animals said they would come, for they all wanted to
win the prize for having the most beautiful baby
The animals came in a long time, each with a baby to show
the king. There was a cow and her calf, a dog and her puppy, a cat and her
kitten, a sheep with her little lamb, a lion and her cub, a goat and her kid –
in fact all the animals you can think of, with her baby
They all passed in front of the king. He looked carefully at
each baby to see which was the most beautiful. All the animals wondered which
baby the king would choose to win the prize
Having seen all the animals in the big parade the king of
the goods was just about to say who the winner was when a monkey came running
in carrying her baby. She thrust her baby into the king’s arms.
The king stared down at the little creature with its
wrinkled face and screwed-up eyes. “What ever is this? “ asked the king.
The king thought it was the ugliest thing he had ever seen.
He held the baby well away from himself and stared at it. “Take it away! “ he
said. “It is the ugliest baby I have ever seen! “
All the other animals began to laugh.
The mother monkey took her baby and cuddled it in her arms.
“I don’t care what you said” she said. “You can give the prize to whoever you
like. I know that my baby is the most beautiful baby of all.’
Monkeys like all mothers, think that their own child is the
best.”

Government ; fish – what people have gained

gained
iterm 1: that is a suggestion,not a affirmation. In my opinion, that is a romantic poem.
Trả lờiXóaiterm 2: so good
