The Fairy Tulip
Once upon a time, there was a good old woman who lived in a little house. She had in her garden a bed
of beautiful striped tulips. One night she was woken by the sound of sweet singing and babies laughing. She
looked out of the window, the sound seemed to come from the tulip bed, but she could see nothing. The next
morning she walked among her flower, but there were no signs of anyone having been there the night before.
On the following night she was again wakened by sweet singing and babies laughing. She rose and stole softly
through her garden. The moon was shining brightly on the tulip bed, and the flowers were swaying to and from
the old woman looked closely and she saw standing by each tulip, a little fairy mother who was crooning and
rocking the flower like a cradle, while in each tulip-cup lay a little fairy baby laughing and playing. The good
old woman stole quietly back to her house and from that time on she never picked a tulip, nor did she allow
her neighbors to touch the flowers.
The tulips grew daily brighter in color and large in size, and they gave out a delicious perfume like the
roses, they began to bloom all the year round, and every night the little fairy mothers caressed their babies and
rocked them to sleep in the flower-cups.The day came when the good old woman died, and the tulip bed was
torn up by folks who did not know about the fairies, and parsley was planted there instead of the flowers. But
the parsley withered and so did all the other plants in the garden and from that time nothing would grow
there.But the good old woman’s grave grew beautiful, for the fairies sang above it, and kept it green while on
the grave and al around it there sprang up tulips, daffodils and violets, and other lovely flowers of spring.

I won’t forget my first experience facing the police. It was such an embarassing yet funny day. When I
walked home after school, my friend offered me a ride. At first, I refused his offer because he didn’t have
any helmet for me to wear. But he insisted and told me that there would be no police. Besides, he asked me
to accompany him to buy a second-hand book. Finally, I agreed to accompany him and go home together.
On the way to the bookstore, he rode carefully and chose the alternative way. Even it took longer time and
distance, finally we could arrive the bookstore. Then, my friend bought a classic book with lower price,
while I was looking at the bookshelf filled with the novels.
After that, we went to the parking area. We rode the motorcycle and passed the same way went to the
bookstore. We thought that the way was safe from the police. But unfortunately, when we just turned left at
the intersection, we saw a police standing near the tree. The police stopped us and asked for the riding
license and all the equipments in riding motorcycle. Then the police asked to me, “Where is your helmet?”
I was afraid to answer, and I just said with shaking voice, “Sorry, sir. It’s just my mistake.” Surprisingly,
my friend was also realizing his fault, “No, sir. I have asked him to accompany me. Let me get the traffic
ticket.”
Guess what happened next! The police which had strict face showed us his wide smile. He said, “You are
all funny. I won’t give you the punishment letter, but please do something.” My friend starred at me. We
thought we had to give the police some money, but we only had a few . Then, the police said, “Don’t you
think I ask some money from you. Okay, I’ll make it clear. You are the students, right. Then tell me what
lesson you learned today at school.” Feeling surprised and worried at the same time, I tried to recall my
mind about the lesson at school. “Oh, I just learned how to write a diary in English. May be I’m gonna
write about today’s incident – I don’t wear the helmet.” The police couldn’t stand not to laugh. “Okay, I
release you. But remember to wear the helmet when you ride the motorcycle, even there is a police or not.
Please stay safe!” We felt relieved and thanked him. Later, he told us that my friend and I reminded him to
his son who stayed in other city to study.

there is no helmet. I won’t let that funny moment happened twice!

A tsunami is taken from Japanese words means harbor wave. also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series
of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large
lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of
underwater nuclear devices), landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below
water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind,
or tides, which are generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the
displacement of water.

Tsunami waves do not resemble normal undersea currents or sea waves because their wavelength is far
longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide.
Tsunamis generally consist of a series of waves, with periods ranging from minutes to hours, arriving in a so-called
"internal wave train". Wave heights of tens of metres can be generated by large events. Although the impact of
tsunamis is limited to coastal areas, their destructive power can be enormous, and they can affect entire ocean
basins. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was among the deadliest natural disasters in human history, with at least
230,000 people killed or missing in 14 countries bordering the Indian Ocean.

Rainbow is considered to be one of nature’s most special gifts. A rainbow is

a meteorological phenomenon that is formed when light shines through water, like when the sun shines through
the rain. This light is bent and reflected, like a reflection in a mirror, and this causes all of the amazing colors
that can be seen. Rainbows normally appear from the rain, but they can happen wherever light is being bent
inside of water droplets. Rainbows can be seen in mist, fog, spray, and dew.

Rainbows are made up of all seven colors that come from light. These colors are red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo, and violet. A great way to remember these colors is the think of the acronym. Rainbows are
not an object or a thing and they cannot be touched. They are light that is reflected and bent and people cannot
feel light when it shines. There is no end to a rainbow. Even though they look like an arch, or an upside down
letter U, rainbows are actually full circles. People only see some of the circle because they usually view the
