Unforgettable love – English Love Story

It’s a story of the North-east girl of a beautiful place, Shillong.

It’s not my story, by the way, it’s not even a story (but let’s call it a story). These are words that I typed in my dairy long back in my laptop. So, don’t grind to trigger every single grammatical errors.I’m very bad in grammer.i just wanted you guys to read it and pass on the story if you like it. A story with no happy ending, but it’s not important that every story got to have a happy ending like Cinderella. We learn lotta things from our experience. So, i hope you guys going to love it.

Me and my friend, Ankita were just sitting on a chair havin’ a cold drink in the balcony. It was a clear night that day in June, summer. We were just having a casual conversation. I just popped out a random question out of blue.’ Do you have a crush?’ i asked. Something made her feel off. I could see her face, she was sad, she was not able to swallow the cold drink. Maybe she had some kinda emotional roller coaster experience before(i thought myself). I request her to tell me about her crush if that’s okay with her. She was trying to skip the topic but I somehow made her feel good. She got herself together and told me her story.

So, here’s a story start-

She was kinda confused to start her own unspoken story. She drenched into her thoughts and started to gather those memories. Her house was next to a big playground. Kids, adults used to play there having a good time. It was that special day, unforgettable day, she saw him for the first time playing football. She loved football and that guy was a good football player. So here’s the turning point. Perhaps deep down in her heart she never believed love a first sight until she saw that guy. She was feeling butterflies in her stomach. It was like her heart going to burst out of her chest because it was beating so hard. Maybe it seems like it happened so fast, but for her, it was like she knows him for years. From the very next day, she used to secretly peeked at him playing football on a playground. She was in love. He was her BIG crush. She wished her heart get kidnap by that good looking guy.

Maybe it was a coincidence. She was in Grade 8. It so happens that guy took admission in the same school where she was studying. Both of them were in the same class. She was so much happy, her excitement was out of control. It was like everything was in her favor. But she was nervous too. She feared what if she ends up doing some stupidity in front of him. She doesn’t want to lose this chance to talk to him personally. But she never had guts to approach him or just to say ‘hi!’.Her fear suppresses her strength to take one step further. She couldn’t even talk to him.

One day, their class teacher gave them some assignments,divided the whole class into groups.she was his partner in a project task. They were in the same group. She loved the way he used to handle the task with his team. He was very motivative and creative as well and that made her more attraction to him. The hesitation and how difficult it was to exchange words. She was definitely on cloud 9 but she didn’t let him see it. So, finally, she started having a conversation with him doing the project tasks.They keep on talking for hours rather than getting done with a task. But they got done with their stuff and it was pretty good to exhibit to their teachers.

It was that point of time when they got to know each other. They used to spend most of the time together. It went on like that. She got to know that he got interested in her too. Her classmate used to tease her but she was die trying to explain somehow.’ I care for him, but I don’t love him’ she said to her friends. But inside of her, it was completely different. But her friends never stopped teasing her.

‘Sports Day’.She used to participate in sports. He was also somewhat into sports. Maybe he participated in sports cause she was into it. Both of ’em were selected in Interschool Sports meet. So, they had to go for a practice every morning. They were made to run two or three times around the playground. She was once had to run 100 meters with other selected girls in a practice session. Their sports teacher whistled, they rush on a track. But in the middle of the track, she slipped and fell on the ground. She was so much embarrassed and couldn’t even look up. He ran towards her, he asked if she was okay?. She couldn’t look up at his face. She was embarrassed by herself. That guy was caring for sure and he cared for her. It was love but they didn’t express to each other.

‘Farewell day’.Yeah, it was the farewell day. All the students were crowded in Assembly hall. Boys were dressed as gentlemen and girls were dressed as beautiful ladies. She wore her best gown that day. She wanted to look perfect in her best-dressed gowns in front of her friends.He was the head boy of the school and so he was voted as best gentleman of the school. Now, it was time for best lady of the school.She was nervous, though she was looking amazing in her dress, she didn’t want her name to be called out. Their teacher went up to the stage to declare the result. The teacher announced ‘So, the most voted girl for a beautiful lady of the school is Ankita’.The moment she heard her name, it was like her heart going to burst out of her chest because it was beating so hard. Now, Ankita and Andy(yeah that’s his name) had to walk together up the stage. She recalled that he was shivering so much at that moment. She was nervous too. But somehow they went up to the stage and round of applause and claps could be heard in every corner of the hall. He requested her if he could do some spin part with her. But she said no and she regrets that. She thinks maybe it would have been turning out something different if she had allowed him to do. But it was an unforgettable moment for her. She cherishes that moment every time she looks at her gown that she wore that day.

Their 10th-grade result was out.Now, they had a lot of time to spend with each other.But it never happened like that.He was mad for her, in some way she was too. But she never shared her emotion to, nobody. She used to keep most of the things to herself. And never expressed that emotion to him or her friends who were close to her. He was holding a thanksgiving service at his home. Once he went to Ankita’s house to give an invitation card. He invited her for dinner along with classmates. But she was not there in her house. He visited her house most of the time, unfortunately, he never got to meet her. He badly wanted to talk to her personally. One day he left a card for her and there was his mobile number. She never dared to make a call to him. She was somewhat trying to ignore him. She was nerdy and never gave importance to love, relationship. So,’FAREWELL DAY’ was the only moment they were together for the last time.

[my drink was finished, I didn’t realize it, i was so much involved in her story. I still had some more questions for her, so, I asked her, what happened next?. I asked ‘where is he now?’,’Are you guys in contact?’.She said no. She hardly sees that guy now. His family moved somewhere else. He left no trace to find him if ever she wanted.Maybe he was emotionally hurt by her ignorance.I asked if she have that invitation card with her.She said yes.The very next morning i went up to her house.Knocked @ the door,she told come in and we sat on a couch.I asked her if i can have that card right now.She aggreed.She went to her room and brought that card.She gave it to me.As i started dailing that phone number,she snatched that card from my hand.She did’nt want me to make a call to him.She was not ready for it.I tried my best to explain it to her that this is only last shot to talk to him.I told her to express everything her heart out.She denied everytime.But at last she aggreed.So,i dailed the number and hit call button.Operator from other side ‘This number does not exist,check the number you have dailed’.Unfornately this was her only chance to talk to him but it was too late.She told me ‘i had unforgettable moment with him,he was my crush and i screwed myself up’.]

you don’t know what you have until’ its gone.So,guys i ain’t storyteller and i ain’t writer.i just wanted this story of my friend get heard.That’s it,have a good day., ,

New Story of First Kiss

I am idealistic in my thoughts. I always maintained a safe distance to my boyfriend and we didn't even kiss each other for a year since our relationship started. Now, it was his birthday, and he was waiting for his gift in his friend's house, where we planned to meet.I got the best wallet that I could afford and nicely rapped it in a gift pack. After giving the gift, we sat talking about our friends, weather, college and every simple thing that we could recollect. We were shy or rather scared to talk out of the box, as we were not aware how the other would feel. Strange! I knew with his gestures what he was longing for.I knew I had to make the first move, as he was scared that I would slap him or break the relationship if he did that first. So, this is the story of the first kiss. I asked him to close his eyes, (as I couldn't even think of getting near him when his eyes were open) and kissed him gently on his eyes. Now, my macho man was stunned, excited rather puzzled with the whole situation. He didn't even know how to react.He went out of the room telling me that he just forgot something. Now I was in his shoes. I thought I misunderstood him and he was not ready for it. At that moment he walked in with a smile and said, 'thank you'. I had a sigh of relief. He then asked me to close my eyes. I thought it was my turn. Yes it was.First kiss, A feeling that will last forever The guys are smart; they utilize every move that we make. My boyfriend was not an exception. When I had closed my eyes, he softly kissed my lips. Guess what! The reaction was not the same. I had a hearty laugh. When I opened my eyes I found him standing in attention, looking at me, for my next move.Rather he was standing like a scared bird that would fly the very moment I would cry and say, "How dare you?" We still cherish the first touch, the first kiss, the first candle light dinner and every sweet moment that we spent together for five long years. This moment will be most treasured till the last breath, as it was the first and unique kiss, with a feeling that will last forever."

Life is going to shovel dirt on you - Story about moral

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.


He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down.


A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred – Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries – Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.

Peace of mind - Inspiring Short Story

Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were travelling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake there.The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink! So he came back and told Buddha, The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink.After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said, See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be … and the mud settled down on its own and you got clear water… Your mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless.What did Buddha emphasize here? He said, It is effortless.Having ‘peace of mind’ is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process. When there is peace inside you, that peace permeates to the outside. It spreads around you and in the environment, such that people around start feeling that peace and grace.

Story of Grandpa - The Wooden Bowl - Must read and respect your parents

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table.  But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about father,” said the son. “I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.”  So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!  When the family glanced in Grandfather’s direction, sometime he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.The four-year-old watched it all in silence.One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?”  Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work .The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.Moral: You reap what you sow. Regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. Always Respect, Care for and Love them.

His smile, if only I could have it . He was ... No He is my first love because I haven't been able to get him out my head and makes me sad to think that he doesn't feel the same or idk.It all started in 9 grade he was new to my school apparently, everyone knew him expect me. When I first meet him, it wasn't like the best first impression (showing if you screw the first time don't worry it not big deal), it was beginning of the year in 7th period, which I had him on my 2nd period too the teacher put him and me on the same group but he told me to past him the paper and how I didn't know him i handle him the paper and said "here you go" really quiet and he made fun of me because I was quiet saying "are you always this quiet?" he asks all the group "is she always this quiet?". Well of course I got really embarrassed and I didn't like him because of that. I didn't see him attractive, I mean just like a pretty face. What I did noticed is white perfect smile and a tiny little scar next to his pink lip.Then days when on I didn't really noticed/ actually I really didn't bother to talk to him because I didn't like him I really really dislike him. After few weeks I noticed that he was dating a girl, they look like a cute couple but afterwards I didn't see them no more. I remember that day I ask him "what happened to your girlfriend" and he look pretty sad and he answered "I don't feel good talking about it" and I left it there because I didn't care I was just being a little curious. Afterward we didn't talk at all expect when I drop the colors pencils and he said "good job" and not even in 5 minutes he drops his and I say "good job"(I don't even know how I remember all this). When the second 6 weeks started we got new groups and with my good luck he was in my group, it was him, this girl (that never came to school) and me which were usually always me and him. We started talking and I noticed that he was really interesting and hot and I started to crush on him. This is when I saw him and said (holy he is hot).I remember once I was walking in the hallway with a huge smile in my face. Into I saw him taking to his ex the one that I told y'all. I felt like shit and my smile disappear they were walking and talking into he saw me see him talking to her I stop walking they stop and we were just looking at each other and I was looking at his at his eyes(his light brown eyes). His ex was so focused because on the corner of my eye I could see her turning to look at me and turning back to look at him. It was about 3 to 5 seconds but it felt like ages. I noticed and I shake my head and start to walk off. But it wasn't the first time that happen the other I was walking with my guy friend to my locker and while he was walking with his friend and I noticed he saw me and at that moment I was talking to my friend but when we see him we just stop talking and just stand there again so all four of us were standing in the middle of the hallway without talking (he look at me with I don't know if it was a sad face or a angry face or upset face) and I turn around to look to my friend and we just walk off. What was really funny was that my friend ask me "are y'all dating" I answered "no we are not (almost laughing) why" he replied "I felt like he was coming to jump at me at any time(laughing his ass out) "I remember we had a project on the computer lab. I was sitting next to my best friend. The teacher made us go up to pick up a paper that said either read,draw or write. He goes up to me and asked me "hey what did you get?" I replied "write how about you?" He said "write too we are meant to be together" I was dying inside like omg what I was super happy but I replied"oh" and smile at him and I touch his shoulder I walk back to my seat and sit and I was completely good and act naturally but inside I was dying I was so happy I couldn't stop smiling. But my best friend said "we are meant to be together" really loud on a funky voice I repliedwhispering "stop(between my teeth)" and I turn to look at him he was looking at me and smiled at me. I don't if heard her but afterward I was jumping walls of happiness.I remember we have a super weird conversation but i ended up saying"no I just look around the room and look at you because are interested to look at" he replied "don't worry I look at you all the time" and smiled I replied "stocker" laughing. I remember that he smell super good not trying to sound like a creep or nothing but once I stole his sweater omg I want to keep it but no I give it back (I should have kept it). His hugs they just filled me up . One of his best hugs was when I was walking my friend to class which he had with her so that's one of the reason why I would walk her to it. We got to her class and hug her. We saw each other and I raised my hands so he could give me a hug. He told me "you come "so I went he was sitting down, what I love that they were this guy talking to him and he move him out the way so he could hug me. I made sure to hug him really hard., making his face ending up between my boobs so I let him go. when I turn around my other friend gives me a big hug almost dropping me to the ground and he said"watch out you almost kill my girl" I got so red and left the class it was amazing.We stop talking I hated it so bad. I would try to talk to him as much as I could but the weeks when on and on and it felt like he didn't want to talk to me no more. He dated his girl it seemed that they were really happy and I stop trying. The got alternative for about one month and he came back on the last week of school. I noticed that it was done no other way we weren't going to be more that friends. The last day of school I saw him he saw me and he raised his hands for me to hug him, I hug him really hard almost crying he noticed my eyes were watering and ask me "what wrong" I said "I'm going to miss my friends" and smile.Sometimes I think it was my fault that we weren't more than friends because I didn't let him know I that I like him, which I think it was real obvious. Or I think he like him but he give up because I didn't tell him I like him? Or did he not like me at all? He made me feel butterflies on my stomach he still does when think of him. Some stories don't have a happy ending and welcome to my life.

Very Sad Love Story - Surely Will Make You Cry

Shona was a nerdy girl with thick glasses. She was a junior in her middle school. She was in love with the hottest guy in the entire school.
And now, she told him that she loved him.
"Haha! Shut up. Nobody would like you! Who do you think I am?"
Shona had feared he would say something like that. She was devastated. She started running. She didn't want to face him ever again. All these thoughts and feelings ran throughout her head. Until, she bumped into something.
"Hey, whats up?"
She had bumped into Raj.
"WHAT?! I'll GO TELL HIM! WHERE DOES HE GET THAT NERVE! SOMETIMES, I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M HIS BEST FRIEND! THAT'S IT! i'M GOING TO GO BEAT HIM UP!"
"NO! Raj! Don't do it! It's not his fault. I was the foolish one to think we can ever date."
"But Shona!"

" No, it's OK! I should go."
" Shona... Raj grabbed her by the wrist as she was getting up. Don't go."
Shona stared into his eyes and felt so warm and fuzzy; a feeling she didn't feel for a long time. But, she looked away. She saw in such a long time, it felt awkward to feel it again. And then she gently took her wrist out of Raj' grasp and slowly walked away from him with tears in her eyes.
"Dammit, Raj! You really did it this time! Shona just left you! And why are you trying to hit on her?"
Raj walked back home with his hands stuffed in his pocket. Thoughts of Shona ran throughout his head. He didn't want Shona to be hurt by a jackass. He wanted to show her that he loved her. He wanted to show her he cared. But Shona just seemed to ignore him. And then, something ran into him. He crashed on the ground and saw Shona was on top of him. She seemed to not know whom she crashed into. Raj smiled.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm very, very sorry. I should have been more careful.. I'm sorry. Can I repay you somehow?"
"Shona", Raj said, lifting her chin and brushing her bangs. Shona looked through his soft eyes and almost melted.
"Raj..." said Shona. Suddenly, she started crying. Raj was shocked.
" J-Shona? What's wrong?"
"I' m s-s-such a f-fool! H-How c-c-can I th-think t-that G-Gyung H-Hoon c-can love me?"
"Shona.. I would not call that foolish.. I actually admire you going up to him and confessing. However, crying about him is indeed foolish. Shona, Don't cry about that jerk. Here, let's go to my house. We're right in front of it!" Shona nodded.
Raj led her to the bathroom.
"Take off your glasses. We need to wipe those tears off." He said with a smile. Shona took them off without a word. Raj turned on the water and wet a washcloth. Then, he gently wiped her tears off her face.
" Raj.. Do you love me?" Raj was startled by this comment.
" Why do you ask me that?"
" Because.. it seems like it. Do you?"
" Haha! Shona, you are my friend."
" Oh.. OK. I think I'm not so teary now. Thanks, Raj."
" No Problem. Do you want something to drink?"
" Um... OK." She followed Raj out the door.
He handed her a glass of orange juice and they sat down outside on a bench.
" Are you going to be all right?"
" Yeah.. Thanks. But I don't think I'll be able to face him again."
" When he calls you something bad, just yell my name. OK?"
" OK." she said with a small laugh.
" But what are you going to do when I call you?"
" I'm going to beat him up!"
" What if everyone starts hating you?"
" It doesn't matter. As long as the one girl I love is happy."
" Ooh, Raj! You like someone?"
" Yeah.. Guess. I'll never tell you until you get the right answer."
" Hmm... is it Amy? She's pretty! What about Lauren? She's nice and quiet. Or is it Becca? She's generous. Or maybe it's Courtney! She's not all that nice though..."
After a few tries, she gave up.
"Who is it? I'm dying of curiosity!"
" Let's see.. she has glasses.. she's in love with Sweetu, she's sitting right next to me! Shona let out a small gasp."
" M-Me?" Raj nodded. Shona almost passed out.
" Raj! I have declared you crazy." Raj started laughing.
" Why won't you believe me? I like you.. I want you to be my girlfriend."
" But you're the second hottest guy in school! What if everyone criticizes you for bad taste in girls?"
" I don't care¦ I told you. As long as the one girl I love is happy." he said, smiling.
" No, really, Raj. No games this time. All serious.. all right?"
" Yeah.. I know."
" Oh my god..." Shona said, covering her mouth with her hand.
"Shona, I just want to be the right guy for you." he said while putting his arm around her shoulder. She leaned against him and for the first time, she felt accepted by someone special.
"But, Raj! Why did you say I was just a friend before?"
"Umm! I didn't feel like it was time yet." Shona nodded. She knew how hard it was to say, "I love you." She knew how nervous you would feel. And she knew how hard it was to feel the reject.
"I understand, Raj. I'm just glad you told me. I'll think about it."
"Shona, do you still like Sweetu?"
"Yes!"
"What has he got, that I don't?"
"I just don't know! I mean! you two look the same! you guys wear things all similarly! but! I like Sweetu better."
"All right! I'll make him like you. He knows he's not going to win in a fight." Shona wrapped him in her arms.
"Raj! I'm all right. You don't have to do all that." And then he wrapped her in his arms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sweetu, can I see you for a moment?"
"What up, dude?"
"It's about Shona!"
"Oh no! don't tell me about that ugly! I just barf when I hear her name!"
"SHUT UP! DUDE, YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE HER A CHANCE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
"Hey! I have other girls who want me. The least thing I need now is another girl who is ugly and slow liking me."
"She's not ugly and slow! She's kind and beautiful in the inside when you get to know her!"
"Wait! do you!?"
"Yes! I do!"
"Haha! Then why don't you date her?"
"Because! she's in love with a jackass!"
"STILL? Haha! Man, she's hilarious! After I rejected her like that?"
"Hey! please! it would mean a lot to me! just say that you at least like her as a friend and apologize for what happened last time. Man, she came running all the way to my house and started crying! She was just! out of control, man! Just tell her that! please?"
"All right!"
"You're the best!"
"Hey, Shona! I'm sorry for what happened last time. I was sort of tired and grouchy. I wasn't in a good mood. I never wanted to say it that way. I like you as a friend. And I want to keep that relationship. All right?" Sweetu let out a hand for a shake. Shona nodded. She let out her hand and they had a friendship shake, which made Raj smile.
"See? Sweetu likes you! He just wants to keep the relationship just as friends! All cool with you?"

"Yes.." she said softly. Raj took her hand and walked away with her."You all right, now?""Yeah!" she nodded. "But he only wants us to be friends! because I'm a nerd!""Shona! Why don't you ever think about me? You know he's a jerk! Why do you mope around for that! So what, if he doesn't like you! Everyone is different, Shona. To my eyes, you are a beauty. You can't always think about him! There are other guys out there for you! Not just Sweetu and me! I really don't want to see you like this.""Raj! Do you really love me?""I don't think I need to answer that!" They stared at each other for a long time."Raj!" She tried to push him away and he staggered a little."Shona! answer this for me! do you love me?""Raj, I never intended to be your girlfriend. I just want to be your friend.""Oh, I see! you're treating me like how Sweetu treated you. You don't want to be my girlfriend because I'm way different than you. You don't want to be my girlfriend because I'm better looking than you and you're afraid that people will jeer you because of that. Well, you know what? I don't care about any of that!" And with that, he grabbed her and locked her lips into his. After a while, he moved away."Oh, you really do love me!" She hugged him."But, Shona! do you still have feelings for him?""Yes! I always have, and always will.""Do you want to be pretty? Like those girls over there?" Raj pointed to a group of girls. They all had big hoop earrings and what Shona noticed was that they did not have any thick glasses like her. Shona nodded. She was pretty ashamed about it."It's all right, Shona. All girls want to be good looking. Even they were ugly once. Everyone is.""Really?""Sure! I used to act like a girl once. I always thought about my appearance, my clothes, and my hair ; just like a girl.""Haha! That's funny!""It's good to see you laugh. Now, Shona. I'll help you become pretty'. Then will you be happy?""I don't know. I've never been attractive in my life.." she said innocently."Well, it's time you are!"

My Story - Stop Child Abuse

My Name is Alice, I grew up under the abusive whims of a drug addicted father. He only physically hurt me twice in my whole life, but once is too many. As for emotionally, that was MOST of my life....The first abuse happened when I was a baby, so I don't remember it. But my mother told me what happened. She was holding me in her arms and my "father" was going through one of his rage moments. He was beating her, with me a baby in her arms... made a mistake and punched me too. I had to be rushed to the hospital. The doctors begged her to put him away, that it was dangerous for both me and her to stay around that man. But my mother didn't love me or herself enough to do that. Still claiming it was an accident. They did tell her that if he beats her, he will began to beat me too. She didn't believe them...So, the second time was when I was seven. My sister and I were sitting in the living room, playing with a collection of pennies. My "father" was upset and sulking in a nearby chair, angry because he wanted money for drugs and my mother was claiming she didn't have any. She often did this, because she was trying to keep some money so we can eat. Meanwhile, she was in the kitchen, cooking what little food we had for dinner and hoping he would buy the lie....Since I was the oldest,I felt as though I should have the most pennies. And my sister was whining that she wanted more. So, my "father" barked, "share them!" I threw a little tantrum, tossing the coins onto the floor, folding my arms and pouting, "fine!" I didn't throw them anywhere near my sister, which she herself often wonders about that too, and it wasn't really a big deal... just normal child behavior. But this got my "father" very angry...He told me to come over to where he was. I stood up and walked over to the chair he was sitting, still pouting. He slapped me across the face so hard, that I fell to the floor. And then he got up and pounded my back and legs with fists. I screamed and cried. My sister was scared. My mother rushed from the kitchen. He then told me to go upstairs and wash my face. My mother gave him the last of the money and told him to get out. He left.The next morning, I had to go to school in pain... a hand-print on my face... and bruises all over my body. The kids made fun of me, sing-songing "child abuse! child abuse!". My teacher, Mrs. Thomas and her assistant, took me into a bathroom and told me to remove my dress... they took notes on all of the bruises. And then my "father" was called into school. Problem was... he had made friends with my teachers and was very popular. So, all he had to do was put on a sad face and say, "I love my daughter. I'm just heavy-handed. I never meant to hurt her." And they just told him to apologize to me and sent me home with him. That's it.But, he never hit me again, because he feared he couldn't talk his way out of it again. This was a very close call for him, because they did say if it happened again, they would have no choice but to report it. My mother was upset... she was hoping they would report it!But, even though he never hit me again, he continued to hurt me emotionally. He would call me stupid, clumsy, fat, ugly, and a ****. Even though I stayed a virgin until I was 21.... And he would make fun of my teeth everyday, even though it was kind of his responsibility to get me braces. So, I would go to school and be teased all day, come home and be teased most of the evening by him. It didn't stop until I was 17 and my mother finally kicked him out of the house, for good.And so... I can't stand to hear about child abuse or other children going through what I have or worse! Many think of physical attacks, when it comes to abuse. BUT, there are long lasting scares with emotional abuse too. I am still dealing with both, even as an adult. No child should be abused.

Every problem comes with a solution - Story with moral

A father left 17 camels as an asset for his three sons. When the father passed away, his sons opened up the will.

The Will of the father stated that the eldest son should get half of 17 camels while the middle son should be given 1/3rd (one-third). The youngest son should be given 1/9th (one-ninth) of the 17 camels.

As it is not possible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, three sons started to fight with each other. So, the three sons decided to go to a wise man.The wise man listened patiently about the Will.The wise man, after giving this thought, brought one camel of his own and added the same to 17. That increased the total to 18 camels.Now, he started reading the deceased father’s will.Half of 18 = 9. So he gave the eldest son 9 camels1/3rd of 18 = 6. So he gave the middle son 6 camels1/9th of 18 = 2. So he gave the youngest son 2 camels.Now add this up: 9 plus 6 plus 2 is 17 and this leaves one camel, which the wise man took back.Moral :The attitude of negotiation and problem solving is to find the 18th camel i.e. the common ground. Once a person is able to find the common ground, the issue is resolved. It is difficult at times. However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution. If we think that there is no solution, we won’t be able to reach any!

Story of Adam and Eve

God took some clay from the ground and made the shape of a man.  Then He breathed gently into the shape.  The man's eye's opened and he began to live.  God called him Adam.

The Lord made a beautiful garden for him to live in.  The garden, called Eden, was full of many wonderful things.  Beautiful flowers grew everywhere.  Birds sang in the trees, streams flowed through the valley and animals roamed across the fields.

God had made the man in His image to keep Him company and look after the world.

God brought all the animals to Adam one at a time to be given their names.  "Elephant", he would say, or "Tiger", or "Porcupine".

But God felt sorry for Adam.  "None of these animals is really like him," thought God, "he needs someone to share his life.  Someone who cares for him and who he can care for."

That night, God took a rib from Adam's side and made a woman.  When Adam awoke the following morning, he found a wife, Eve, lying asleep beside him.  Adam was so happy.  He took her hand and she woke up.  She looked up at him and smiled.

God told the man and woman that it was their job to take care of their new home.  God blessed them, saying, "All this is for you.  Help yourself to anything you like.  But never touch the tree in the middle of the Garden.  That tree gives knowledge of good and evil.  The day you eat its fruit, you will die."

God did not mean that Adam and Eve would drop down dead the moment they ate the fruit from the tree.  He meant that in time they would die with out His Spirit dwelling in them.

One day, Adam and Eve were gathering berries for dinner when she heard a silky voice behind her.

"Has God told you that you can eat the fruit from all the trees?" the voice asked softly.  Eve turned around to see a snake talking to her.

"God has told us we can eat all the fruit except for what grows on The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil," Eve told the serpent.

"Oh come now, that's silly!  I hardly think such a lovely fruit would do you any harm," the serpent lied. "God knows that if you eat from The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil you'll become just like God, and will be able to decide for yourself what is right and what is wrong."

The woman looked at the fruit and thought how tasty it looked. She thought how wonderful it would be to be as wise and powerful as God.  She believed the serpent's lie and ate the fruit and also gave some to Adam, who was with her, and he took a bite as well.

She felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach.  She fidgeted and wondered what was wrong with her.  Suddenly she realized that she was feeling guilty -- she had disobeyed God and knew she'd done something wrong.

As soon as they ate the fruit a change came over Adam and Eve.  They became unhappy and fearful of God.

Adam and Eve heard God calling them.  Without thinking, they dived into the bushes, but God knew where they were.  When God asked them if they had eaten from The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil that He had told them not to touch, they blamed each other for their sins.God was sad that Adam and Eve had disobeyed them.  He told them that they had to leave the Garden of Eden, "From now on you'll have to scratch a living from the soil.  You'll need to make clothes and grow food.  Nothing will come easily -- not even childbirth.  And one day, you will die."
