Each of them carried food for their lunch and
bottle of water. Roy went ahead afterwards met
an ill-favored old woman. “Please give me a food
for I am hungry”, the old woman begged. Go
away, old woman, I have no food for you! Roy
shouted the old woman.
Meanwhile, his friend John was washing his
face in the stream when he saw the old woman,
“Please give me food for I am hungry,” the old
woman begged. Immediately, John opens his bag
where he kept his food and shares it to the old
woman. Then he gives her water the woman
thanked John for the food. Then she said, “You
have kind, big heart so I will give you a reward. (Read)
Go to tree with two large black stones under it.
Remove the stones and you find a bag filled with
money. John surprised but he thanked the old
woman and went to the tree that she described.
He found the two large black stones, removed
it and found a bag filled with money. He was so
happy and went running back to the old woman
and thank her again. But the old woman was
gone. “Thank you old woman, thank you Lord”
John shouted to the wind. Then he went back

How to order adjectives in English

In many languages, adjectives denoting
attributes usually occur in a specific order.
Generally, the adjective order in English is:

 Determiners — articles and other

limiters. See Determiners
 Observation — post determiners and
limiter adjectives (e.g., a real hero, a
perfect idiot) and adjectives subject to
subjective measure (e.g., beautiful,
interesting)
 Size and Shape — adjectives subject to
objective measure (e.g., wealthy, large,
round)
 Age — adjectives denoting age (e.g.,
young, old, new, ancient)
 Color — adjectives denoting color (e.g.,
red, black, pale)
 Origin — denominal adjectives denoting
source of noun (e.g., French, American,
Canadian)
 Material — denominal adjectives
denoting what something is made of
(e.g., woolen, metallic, wooden)
 Qualifier — final limiter, often regarded
as part of the noun (e.g., rocking chair,
hunting cabin, passenger car, book cover)
