The Kitchen God
Posted 10/15/2007 12:02:39 AM
The Spring Festival begins on the 23th of the twelfth month of lunar calendar.People offer a sacrifice to the Kitchen God on this day.
The legend says that an immortal that administers the human world lives in heaven. He is called the Jade Emperor of Heaven.
The Kitchen God is a senior officer of the Jade Emperor of Heaven. He is in charge of the stove of the human world.
The Kitchen God has been in kitchen of every family all the time since the previous New Year's Eve.
On the 23th of the twelfth month of lunar calendar,the Kitchen God rises to heaven and reports to the Jade Emperor of Heaven, telling him the good and bad deeds of the family in that year. The Jade Emperor then metes out rewards and punishments.
One week later, in the evening of the New Year's Eve the Kitchen God returns to earth to give all family members their deserved good luck or bad luck.
It is important for people to give the Kitchen God a good send-off on the 23th of the twelfth month .People put candies,brand water,beans or peas and grass in front of the God. The last three are sacrifices to the horse ridden by the Kitchen God.
When seeing the Kitchen God off, people spread malt syrup on his mouth ( now we donot do that). The malt syrup is very sticky. It clings to the Kitchen God's teeth, so he can not speak ill at the Jade Emperor palace.
The Chinese have been "seeing the Kitchen God off" for more than 1000 years.
On this day, people experience the joyous atmosphere of Spring Festival. So it is also known as "samll year", which means " small Spring Festival".

General Stone
Posted 8/27/2007 1:43:39 AM
Last Tuesday I went to an island on business with my colleague. The island is one of ChangShan series islands. It was very lucky that I met one of my best classmates when we got out of the ship at the port. My classmate worked in the island.
On the Wednesday morning, my classmate suggested taking a walk on the only square of the island. On the square there was a stone which looked like a man and was as big as an adult man. In frond of the stone there was a stone stele.
On the stele the story about the stone was written:
At Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates always invaded the ChangShan islands. But the Ming Dynasty did not have the enough power to annihilate Japanese pirates. So the people in the islands lived in the abyss of suffering.
But in the islands two brothers studied GongFu since they were child and at that moment they were grown up and could use all kinds of weapon. They and the natives organized an army. During fighting against the Japanese pirates, the brothers always were the bravest of all and assaulted in front of others.
And at last they were selected as the General of the army. They defeated the Japanese pirates many times. The fame of the brothers was very popular in the islands and the enemies saw them as the eyesore. On a war the brothers lead the natives to kill about 200 Japanese pirates.
After the war they celebrated the victory and drunk on the place of the square. But in order to kill the two brothers, the enemies dispatched the spies as the businessmen and put the poison in the drink. So after the brothers drunk, they felt very painful in the stomach and jumped into the sea. Soon they changed into stone. Then the natives got the stone out the sea and put them on the island. And the stone was called General Stone

The best dog in my heart

The best dog in my heart (Part One)
Till today, in the villages, almost every family has at least one housedog.The dog's job is to guard the house ,the wealth about the house and the family. The dog has never lived in the house and only lives in the doghouse outside even in the cold winter.
When I was a child,about 10 years old. I had a big family,my grandpa,my grandma,my parents and my three brothers. At that moment our family bought a house with a cowshed. The house was about 1 Km from my family.
Because one couple did not have house to live after married, the house was offered to them free. And in the coe shed there were our two heads of cattle and others' heads of cattle. Every day, my family,most of time my gandpa went to feed all cattle. Of course it was free to help others.(At that moment the natives always helped each other free).
The couple lived there about 4 years. Before they left, they had a little navy blue dog who looked like a little wolf. When they left, the dog became an orphan. And my grandpa carried food to feed the odg every day.
At that moment the dog was about 4 monthes old.
The best dog in my heart (Part Two)
One day, my aunt's son went to feed the cattles with my grandpa and he knew the dog. My aunt's son tried many ways to lead the dog to my home. But the dog did not leave the yard of the house. At that moment our family had a black dog which was a good house dog.
When my aunt's son came back and told me that. We took some food and went there again. I really liked that dog in the first sight. It was so cute and looked like a wolf . But it always did not let us touch it. When we moved to it and almost touched it, it ran away right now.
We gave the food to it, but it did not eat the food right now and watched us for a while. Maybe it made sure that we were not bad men and the food was not bad, and then it ate the food fast. I t must be very hungry.
In order let it go home with us, we put food on the way home. It followed us and ate the food. When it was out the yard, it did not continue going and stopped. Only sit there and watched the food and us. We called it, but it did not care.
We failed to take it home.
The best dog in my heart (Part Three)
Since then I went to feed the dog often.But because my family was poor at that time, I could not give it enough food, it was still thin.
But soon I could touch it. As soon as I touched it, it looked scared and trembled. Soon it relaxed and became happy. It had never allow anyone to hold it in the arm. When you tried to do that, it sounded and ran away. It was impossible to circle a chaplet on its neck, we had tried many times.
Though the dog looked like a wolf and to the strangers, it looked very fierce, it had never hurt anyone.(It had guarded our house over 15 years and had never allowed the strangers to enter the yard unless we told it stop)
After many days, it began to follow me and left the yard. But it had never reached my old home ( at that time our family were building a new house). One day it followed me and almost reahed the home yard,but the black dog appeared and they gnared to each other. I tried my best to avoid fighting between them. But I failed. They fighted and soon the little dog was defeated and ran away .
I followed it to the house yard with the cowshed. It lied on the gound and looked very sad. Though I called it , it did not move and still lied there.

Some words confuse me
Posted 7/25/2007 6:53:08 PM
Because I will spend this weekend with some of my workmates by the sea, last evening I bought the trousers which were shorter than the normal trousers. We called them “DuanKu”. For example, if the normal trousers are 1 meter long, then the one that I bought are 0.7 meter long. But I am not sure which word could describe them well.
This kind of trousers are called short pants, right???
I use the software to check, and find there are several words which have the same meaning ,“DuanKu” which are shorter than the normal trousers.
1. Knickers: for women??
2. Panties: for women or child?
3. Pants: for men (underwear)? Or for women (tightening trousers)?
4. Scanties: for men and women??
5. short pants: for men and women??
6. shortclothes: for little chinld??
7. shorts: as same as short pants???
I am not sure.

Entry for July 13, 2007

Today I went to basestations and checked them. When found something out of standard , I wrote it down. But when I wrote, suddenly I did not know how to write several Chinese characters. After a while I wrote the right Chinese characters. But when I concentrated on these Chinese characters, to my surprise, I am not sure whether they were right or wrong.
Maybe the similar things happened to you.
Why did that happen?
In my opinion, now most of people use the computer to write something and the computer can correct some mistakes. So we not only are not good at writing words or characters by hand but also almost give up writing by hand and it is easy to forget how to write the characters.
Yes, today the computer makes our life convenient, but it makes us lose something. For example, handwriting.
When I was a child, it took me about one hour to practise handwriting. And at that moment, the teachers always praise my handwriting. But since I went to the college, I almost have not written by hand, and most of time used the computer. So now I forgot most of Chinese characters how to write. And I am shamed to talk about the handwriting.
What about you?

Species aggression
Posted 7/9/2007 7:02:30 PM
Several days ago, I was bit on the arm by the mosquito at night. And next day on the arm there was a big bump and it was itchy. The bump still is on my arm now and turns purple.
My colleague told me that before there was not this kind of mosquito which was black and big.In order to build a good football place in this city, the sward was bought from other country and then this kind of mosquito came here.
The native mosquito was small and even if you were bit, there was only a little dot.
Last month I watched TV. Some people wanted to free some fish which were bought from the peddlery. But they were stopped. Because this kind of fish was not native fish and was from other country. If they were freed to the river, the balance of the river would be broken and the native fish were affected.
In China, it was reported that because of species aggression , we got much loss.

Infant hand
Posted 5/7/2007 6:52:37 PM
Here the infant hand is not true. It is a kind of plant. But the natives in my hometown call it infant hand. Because when it grows out from the earth, it curls and looks like the infant hand. In the picture, the left one is the infant hand. I think it is a kind of fern, but I do not know its true name.
It is a kind of good food. I like it. If you went to the Korean restaurant, you have the chance to have them.( but in the most of the restaurants, the infant hands that were cooked were dry but not fresh, because the fresh are not easy to save). It was said that the infant hand could improve body and prevent the cancer. But I am not sure. I have to say it is crude, wilding and not polluted and must be a kind of good food.
Last article I posted a picture in which the village was the place where my parents lived. There are many valleys and streams. In the shade side of valleys, the infant hand grows.
About in the first ten days of May, most of the infant hands grow out from the earth in my hometown. But several days later they grow tall and the curled hands extend and are not suit to eat. If you want to pick them, it is the time when they just grow out.
Every labor day holidays I go to see my parents and go to pick the infant hands. This labor day holidays I did with my nephew and niece.

Recollection: get the rabbit from the eagle
Posted 5/5/2007 6:14:42 PM
During the labor day's holidays I went to pick a kind of fern which is a kind of good food. And in the valley I saw an eagle hovering in the sky, which let me remember something happened when I was a child.
About over 15 years ago, my uncle's son who is one year younger than me went to graze cattle in the mountain.
He saw an eagle swooping down and then caught a rabbit with its claws. But after that the eagle did not fly away. However it flew to a rock that was near my uncle's son and then stayed on the rock.
My uncle's son moved to the rock slowly. At last he found the eagle was enjoying its quarry. He got a stone and then threw it to the eagle. The eagle was shocked by the accident and flew away right now.
My uncle's son held the dying rabbit and run away as fast as he could. When the eagle came to itself, it flew over my uncle's son. My uncle's son was afraid to be attacked by the eagle, so he held a branch in another hand and kept running. But the eagle did not dare to attack him and only followed him.
When he reached home, he was out of breath. But the eagle did not leave soon and still hovered over the house for about half an hour.

Long ago, in a land far away, there was.. (Part one)
Posted 4/17/2007 6:55:53 PM
The naissance of the Sun
Long ago there is a war between the gods and the demons. And at that time the human world dose not exit. And there are three worlds. One belongs to the gods, one belongs to the demons and another belongs to the dragons. The world of dragons is mysterious to both the gods and the demons. It is said that in that world the ground is covered by the fire and there are many dragons which are very powerful and can eject the fearful fire. Both the gods and the demons do not dare to approach the world of dragons.
The new god is born from the egg. When the new one breaks the egg inside, he or she becomes one of the gods' world. At first he or she is not powerful. But the gods have the ability to study the magic and absorb the energy around them by themselves, and they can get more powerful.
But one day an awful demon is born. He is very very powerful. He enters the world of the gods with a huge axe and kills many gods and destroys many eggs. The gods almost can not find a way to defeat him.
One day the demon meets an egg on the peak of a great mountain. He puts up his axe and then tries his best to cut the egg. To his surprise, the egg still is safe and sound. He tries again. The egg is as normal as before. He gets angry and uses all of his power to cut the egg with his huge axe. As a result he only breaks his axe. Right now he knows if he dose not destroy the egg, a great god will be born from this egg. In order to kill the latent adversary, he flies to the edge of the world of dragons and tries his best to throw the egg to the world of the dragons.
The egg lands the ground and the dragons watch it surprised. And then it is reported to the king dragon. The king dragon is wise and knows more about three worlds. Now the balance between the gods' world and the demons' world is broken because of the awful demon. If the gods were defeated, the demons will attack the dragons. The only one who can stop the demon is in the egg now. The kind dragon knows that. So he orders to take care the egg and wait the naissance of the god. Many days passed, the egg moves and then it is broken. A god is born in the world of the dragons.

Tide ebbed
Posted 3/18/2007 5:59:11 PM
Tide had ebbed. Many huge reefs appeared. But the boats anchored stood on the sullage downhearted.
Some mews flied over the sea lightheartedly, some stayed on the beach, others stayed in the sea. They sang happily and the people could not scared them.
By the sea, if you move a stone, you will be surprised by the sea animals under the stone. They move as fast as they can and try to find a place to hide themselves. I do not know most of them. Sometimes you can find the little crabs whose color was as same as the stone and sullage. They are very funny. I do not catch them but I enjoy finding them. Though the crab is not big, if you catch it, it will try its best to assault you. Four years ago I got one and put it into a bottle and took it home. At night it went out of bottle and run on the floor. The sound of crack awaked me. And I had to find it and put it into the bottle again and then covered the bottle.
But in the water on the reefs there were some shellfishes and actinias ( I am not sure). The shellfishes attached the rock tightly. Many of them stayed in the gaps of the reefs. The actinias spread their tentacles. When I touched it with stone. It shrank together right now.
It was said that many years ago, after tide ebbed many sea animals could be found, but now a little part of them could be found.

Tide had ebbed. Many huge reefs appeared. But the boats anchored stood on the sullage downhearted.
Some mews flied over the sea lightheartedly, some stayed on the beach, others stayed in the sea. They sang happily and the people could not scared them.
By the sea, if you move a stone, you will be surprised by the sea animals under the stone. They move as fast as they can and try to find a place to hide themselves. I do not know most of them. Sometimes you can find the little crabs whose color was as same as the stone and sullage. They are very funny. I do not catch them but I enjoy finding them. Though the crab is not big, if you catch it, it will try its best to assault you. Four years ago I got one and put it into a bottle and took it home. At night it went out of bottle and run on the floor. The sound of crack awaked me. And I had to find it and put it into the bottle again and then covered the bottle.

The story about the glasses
Posted 3/14/2007 5:50:43 PM
Ten days ago a storm happened here. In the latest 50 years it was the most serious. It continued raining heavily and blowing strongly about 30 hours. When the raindrop reached the ground, it was frozen. The wind was very strong. On some places the wind power reached level 12.
Next day morning when we got out, the rain and wind stopped. Most of the roads and streets were cleaned out.
When I reached the office, my colleague told me a story about his friend.
When it was raining and blowing, his friend had very important job and had to do. When his friend went out of the building, the glasses were blown away. He tried to look for it in the lawn. After a while he actually found three pairs of glasses. But none of them was his.

Plough the cropland
Posted 3/6/2007 5:52:14 PM
When I went to the elementary school, we did not use the machine to plough the cropland, because most of the croplands were small and on the hills. We ploughed with hoes or with ploughs.
Our family had a block of cropland which was about 200 square meters and surrounded by the stone walls.
One spring my aunt’s two sons came and lived with us. One day my grandfather told us we should go to plough that block of cropland. But we including my brothers five boys did not have enough hoes and most of us were not good at plough with the hoe because we were young and maybe could break the hoe when ploughing.
So my grandfather had another good idea. We ploughed with the plough. But because the cropland was small and we could not use the cattle, so we five boys took the place of the cattle.
We all very happily accepted it and went with the tools.
On the cropland, my grandfather arranged us how to do. When we all were in our places, he shouted 'go'. We all drew very hard. When the plough moved, then it was easy to draw. My grandfather constantly corrected our direction by telling us 'right' or 'left'.
When we finished this work, we all were covered by sweat and sat there out of breath. But we were still very happy and discussed the mistakes someone made and enjoyed what we had done.
Till now I have only drawn the plough once. And I remember it very clearly as what happened yesterday.

You are what you are

In a beautiful garden there are apple tress, orange trees, pears and roses. They have a happy and peaceful lives.
All members in the garden are very happy but one little tree. The little feels very sad worried. The poor little tree is puzzled by a question. It is that he dose not know who he is.
The apple trees say he should be concentrative, ' if you really work hard, you will have very delicious apples. How easy it is. '
The roses say ,' do not listen to them. It is easy to blossom like us. How beautiful the blossoms are.'
The little tree does what he was told very hard. But when he dose more, he feels more disappointed.
One day the eagle visits the garden and hears the puzzle of the little tree. Then the eagle tells the little tree,' Do not worry about that. Your puzzle is not big. On the earth there are many being who are facing the same puzzle as you. I tell you how to do. You do not waste time changing yourself to others. You are what you are. You should try your best to know yourself. In order to reach this, you should hear sound from your heart.' After saying that, the eagle flies away.
The little tree murmurs to himself ,'I am what I am? Know myself? Hear the sound from my heart?' Suddenly the little tree comprehends that. He closes his eyes and opens his mind and then he hears the sound from his heart: ' you will never have the apples because you are not an apple tree; you will not blossom every day, because you are not a rose. You are an oak. Your role is to grow tall and straight, to offer a place for the birds to inhabit, to offer the shadow for the people, to create a beautiful entironment. That is your duty and do it.'
The little tree feels energic and confident. He begins to work hard for his aim. Soon he becomes a tall oak and fill the place that belongs to him. He win the regards from others. Now in the garden all members enjoy themselves and have happy lives.

The romantic tragedy of a sand (PART THREE)
Posted 2/14/2007 5:47:35 PM
Very soon the rainy season came, but the mud－rock flow took the place of the rising water suddenly and sharply. The pearl including the sand was buried into the earth, not deep. The sand was very disappointed, but he knew he still have the chance to see another sand. Because the earth would move itself and faster than himself.
Many years passed and the pearl layer was peel off. The sand became into himself again. He felt he was very clean now and could go to see another sand stainlessly
Suddenly a sound of peal came over the sand's head and here it was a gold mine. After a while he and other stones were put into a broiling pot. At this time he found he actually was a gold sand. And very soon, he and other golds was melt together and became a bar of gold brick. Then they was carried to someplace and saved. The sand spent many years in sad. When he thought of the sand who was in the seabed, he felt that his heart was cut by a sharp knife. But he still comfort himself that he still had the chance, and maybe someday he would change into the sand again and was carried into the sea. Then he would begin a long time search for another sand who he loved and loved him.
One day the gold brick including the sand was taken out. He did not know what he would change into. But after a while the gold brick was made into a disk on which all kind of languages and sounds of the earth were recorded, even including the sound of the wave of the sea. Until the disk was fixed in the rocked which was waiting being launched, he felt scared and asked the gold by him : where would we go? We would fly to the universe and convey the messages of the human to other plants where there maybe was the being. The other gold molecules said proudly: not every gold molecule had this kind of chance. At this moment the rocked was launched. The sand saw the earth getting farther and farther. In the universe the earth was so small and so tender. Suddenly he understood that he could never come back to the sea and to the sand who was waiting him without any promise from him. He had a very proud history,------- had been the most beautiful pearl, the purest gold, now was a sign in the boundless universe. Compared with all of these, he would rather be a sand in the seabed, even if stayed with the sand he loved for on hour then disappeared......
A cry from a sand flied over in the universe and after a long time disappeared

Since then the clam opened its shell sometimes and the sand could see the outside world. At this moment he always could see another sand not far from him gazing himself. He knew his world still was happy because time could not affect the seabed and another sand loved him and waited for him.
One day the sand suddenly felt the clam was shaken and then the shell was opened. At this time the picture of the sea, the sunshine, the ships and the human came to the eyes of the sand. And the human looked at him and jumped out of their skins. The sand was surprised and looked around himself and found he had changed into a pearl, a grain of mellowest and biggest pearl in the world. To people it was a priceless jewel. But to the creator of the pearl-----the clam, it brought the suddenness of the pain. Very fast the pearl was embed into the crown. The sand who had changed into the pearl felt very sad but he did not despair. Because he knew, now another sand in the seabed was still waiting for him with tenderness and love for ever
The sand on the top of the crown watched the officers pilgrimage and saw the king aged and the empire break up. Then the king died. The crown was buried with the dead. When the crown was put into the coffin, the sand heard that the door of the grave was closed. Now he was missing another sand who was waiting for him in the seabed. He did not worry, because he had enough time. For two feet, he spent two hundred millions years.
In the dark grave he did not feel lonesome, because sometimes the mouse or other animals came here and accompanied him. He stayed here and did not know how long had passed. One day two ghouls came into the grave and took the crown including the pearl away. It was unlucky. They fought for possessing the biggest pearl and at last both of them died by the river. The pearl was fallen on the bank of the river. A new hope came to the sand. Because he knew most of rivers in the world connected with the sea and the water could take him to the sea. When the rainy season came , he could follow the water and go to find her. Maybe it would take him many years, but it did not matter. He knew another sand who he loved was waiting for him and looking forward to him.

The romantic tragedy of a sand (PART ONE)
Posted 2/12/2007 5:45:43 PM
Long long ago , two sands lied on the silent seabed. There was two feet between them. One fell in love with another. He gazed the sand of his heart two feet away, and spent many years peacefuly and happily. Under the water it was calm, and the sand felt he was very happy, because he knew the sand he loved was not far from him and he could always gaze her, whatever happened over the water.
On the beach the dinosaurs left their footprints. The tides waved and the footprints disappeared and on the beach nothing left. This did not matter with the sand under the water. But at this time an idea came to him: move to the front of the sand he loved and tell her he loves her. So the sand began to a far-flung journey. He rolled himself very slowly by the power of outer, whatever weak underset or feeble volution was stired by the fish. When he got this power, he would thank God.
On the beach the footprints were left by the Xiphodons and the tides still made the footprints disappear silent. Now there was only three inches between them. And after that, the human being came and left the footprints. When the footprints were cleared away, the sand eventually moved to the front of the sand of his heart. He looked at the sand he loved with the eyes exuding tenderness and love and thought he covered two feet in more than two a hundred millions years. At this moment, he thanked God who gave him all the happiness. They gazed each other and said nothing for a long time. At last he was about to speak. But a steam came and made him float and then he was drawn into a hole. He had a last look on the far-flung journey and the sand he loved. But he did not know what he should say. At this moment, the hole was closed and the dark covered all. He knew he was caught by a clam.

Many years ago, a widow had a son. She spoiled her son very much. If someone talked about her son's shortcoming, she would be angry and quarrel with that person.
In front of the gate of the widow there was a big tree with the branches over the road. Her son enjoyed sitting on the branch and see people passing under him.
One day when a intellectual was passing the part of the road, her son pissed on the branch and mad the intellectual like a drowned mouse. Though the intellectual was very angry, he only told the boy doing that was not right and let the widow educate the boy well. But when the widow heard the intellectual's words, she got very angry and abused and cursed the intellectual. The intellectual left, angry.
Another day the boy did the same thing on a trafficker. The trafficker cursed the boy when he faced the widow. The widow cursed the trafficker, the trafficker's parents and so on. When the trafficker was leaving, he saw the boy on the road. He smiled and gave the boy some money and told the boy did that again.
On day an warrior walked on that road. The boy did the same thing on the tree again. The warrior was very angry and shouted to the boy. The boy was scared and fell down from the branch and died.

A Ghost story
Posted 2/8/2007 7:40:54 PM
When I was in the university, I and other five classmates lived in the same dormitory. At night one guy told us a ghost story. Now I still remember it.
On night a young doctor changed clothes and went to the elevator. He met a colleague in the elevator and chatted. " do you see the patient who came here just now died?". Just then the lights of the elevator turned off and the elevator stopped , and then a young nurse came in. The doctor continued saying, " it is very regrettable. A young and beautiful girl who just graduated from the university died. She took a red strand around her right wrist. "
After a while his colleague left and then the nurse showed her right wrist to the doctor and said " Is it the red strand? " Then the lights turned off and then the nurse disappeared. The doctor ran out the elevator and found the elevator still stopped on the same floor.

A warmhearted middle-aged lady
Posted 2/5/2007 5:24:08 PM
Last Sunday when I went into the kitchen, I found the water was flowing down from the water faucet. I fastened the water faucet, but still could not stop the water flowing down. I could not repair it without the tools, so I went out and looked for a skilled person.
Before out of the building, I met a middle-aged lady who lived in this building but we did not know each other. I told her what happened and she told me she knew a guy who was good at repairing the water faucet. But she forgot that guy's phone number. She told me it was not far and she would like to lead me to find that guy. On the way she told me she had a very important thing to do after half hour. But I advised her to go back and prepare what she would do, but she told me she knew that guy and I did not. Without her maybe that guy could not help me.
To my disappointment, that guy went to another city and attended a wedding.
But she told me there were several people who knew how to repair the water faucet in a company which was not far from here and she could lead me to there.
I thanked her from the bottom of my heart and told her I could find them. But she still insist on leading me to there. I did not want her to delay what she should do, so persuaded her. On the way to that company, I found a hardware shop and bought a new water faucet and asked whether the shopkeeper could find a person to exchange the water faucet. She did.

Recollection：went to the junior high school by bike
Posted 2/4/2007 5:33:36 PM
My mother told me that before the reservoir was built, the junior high school was near our house and it was about 2 minutes to walk. But since the reservoir was built, the junior high school is over 15 kilometers and we had to ride a bike.
The road was not good when I went to the junior high school. It was a dust road and narrow (now all that kind of road is replaced by the bituminous macadam). I and my friends, three boys (we were from the same village) went to school together everyday.
Whether it rained and snowed and so on , we had never be late. It was funny to ride with friends on that way at that time. We talked about what we had learned and what we heard. Sometimes we could not help laughing.
In the winter after the reservoir was covered by the ice. We rode on the ice. It was about 7 kilometers.
Because the reservoir was huge and deep and on some place the ice was thin and on the day melt. When we rode on that place, the sound of crack could be heard and we had to be careful.
It was not easy to stop on the ice. I still remembered that one day a guy fell down on the ice ahead of us and we had to slide a distance and stopped. And then came back and helped him. His bike could not work and we took a hard stone from the shore and tried to make the bike work. When we reached school, he had the bike repaired.
That time we were a group of carefree boys and almost nothing could stop us.

In the winter after the reservoir was covered by the ice. We rode on the ice. It was about 7 kilometers.
Because the reservoir was huge and deep and on some place the ice was thin and on the day melt. When we rode on that place, the sound of crack could be heard and we had to be careful.
It was not easy to stop on the ice. I still remembered that one day a guy fell down on the ice ahead of us and we had to slide a distance and stopped. And then came back and helped him. His bike could not work and we took a hard stone from the shore and tried to make the bike work. When we reached school, he had the bike repaired.
That time we were a group of carefree boys and almost nothing could stop us.
He is a very smart dog (lol)

I went to the cinema the other day and in the front row was an old man and with him was his dog.
It was a sad funny kind of film, you know the type. In the sad part, the dog cried his eyes out, and in the funny part, the dog laughed its head off. This happened all the way through the film. After the film had ended, I decided to go and speak to the man.
"That's the most amazing thing I've seen," I said. "That dog really seemed to enjoy the film."
The man turned to me and said, "Yeah, it is. He hated the book."

bomb

By our company there was a building where the pets, fish and flowers and so on were sold.
Several monthes ago, many riot polices with the dogs came and let all the people out of that building.
Most of us did not know what happened. About one hour later, a guy who was drunk was arrested by that building.
It was reported that the guy called the police in the phonebooth and said that there was a bomb in that building.

The fortune teller
Posted 1/17/2007 5:47:09 PM
When I was a child, my family wanted to know whether I could get the chance to the college (that time in the village there were few people who got the chance to the college). Most of the fortune tellers told that I could.
One day my mother took the bus to see my mother’s father. In the bus a middleaged lady sat by my mother. She said she was a fortune teller and could tell my mother what she wanted.
My mother said nothing. Another guy by the lady let the lady to forecast what would happen about him. After a while the lady said something. But the guy did not believe that. The lady was very angry and told that guy if you did not believe me, please did not let me forecast that. After a while a bump appeared on the head of the lady and she almost could not breath. The guy had to apologize to her.
The lady turned to my mother and told something about my family. She described me as she was standing by me and told something about our house as she was one of our family. But my mother had never seen her and my family did not know her.
My mother asked her whether I could get the chance to the college. She said that I could. My mother did not pay her any money and she said my mother was a good person and she liked to do that for my mother. Another guy wanted her to forecast his future, but she said nothing and only sat there.
Up to now what she forecasted got true and something can not be comprehended, but I still do not believe the fortune teller.

Gambler
Posted 1/14/2007 5:56:33 PM
When I was a child, the old people show me a story about the gambler.
In the village there was a gambler who gambled every day, but he always was defeated. So he was in debts.
In order to get money, he almost sold everything of the family. His wife could not persuade him and was very disappointed.
One day his wife with children left him. He regretted what he had done and made a big decision that he would never gamble. So he went to find his wife and children and told them his decision. He was forgave. But he still gambled by stealth.
But one day he drunk a lot of drink and was drunk outside. When he was on the way home, he found a wonderful house which looked like a palace and which he had never seen. He asked a passerby what it was. He was told it was a gambling place. He went into it right now and begin to gamble.
Next day he was found lying in the burial ground, and around him was the " money " which was used by the deceased people.( there is a custom. The family or the relatives burn some special paper (" money ") for the deceased people on some special days and the deceased people could use the money in another world. Though now most people do not believe it, but they still burn it).
Since then the guy had never gambled.
