My night has passed on the
bed of sorrow
My night has passed on the bed of
Sorrow, and my eyes are tired.
My heavy heart is not yet ready to
meet morning with its crowded joys.

Draw a veil over this naked light,


beckon aside from me this glaring
flash and dance of life.

Let thy mantle of tender darkness


cover me in its folds, and cover my
pain awhile from the pressure of the world.

COMPREHENSION
Many years ago, an English family were living in China. One
evening an important Chinese officer came to visit them. It got later and
later, and he still did not go, so his hostess invited him to have dinner with
them. But she had very little food in the house, so she quickly went to the
kitchen and spoke to her Chinese cook. He said, "It is all right. You will
have a very good dinner."
When they all sat down to eat, the lady was very surprised, because
there was a lot of very good food on the table.
After the dinner, the hostess ran to the kitchen and said to the
cook. 'How did you make such a good meal in half an hour?"
"I did not make it, madam." he said. "I sent one of the servants to
the Chinese officer's house, and he brought back the Chinese officer's
dinner.

His Goodwill
A certain man and his bride didn’t have
a place to live, so they spent their wedding
night at the woman’s parents’ home.
The next morning they didn’t come
down for breakfast, but the old couple didn’t
think anything of it. They didn’t come down
for lunch, either, but the old couple figured
they were tired from the previous night and
still didn’t think anything of it.
When they still didn’t come down at
dinner time, the old couple couldn’t sit still.
They asked their young son, “Your sister
and brother-in-law didn’t have any problems last night, did they?”
“No, no problems,” the son replied. “Oh, right. My brother-in-law asked me for some Vaseline
last night, but I’d just used the last of it. I had some super glue I’d been using to build a model,
though, so I gave him that.”

Good Boy
A boy asked his mother: “What’s a girl-
friend?”
His mother said: “After you’ve grown
bigger, if you’re a good boy, you’ll get one!”
The boy: “And if I’m not a good boy?”
His mother: “Then you’ll get lots of ‘em.”

The Method
Q: “How can you win a woman’s heart,
so that she’ll never leave you?”
A: “When someone has made up their
mind to leave you, you can’t tie them down
even if you use iron chains.”
Q: “Then what should one do?”
A: “Use gold chains.”

Blind Date
Man: “I don’t have a condo or a car.”
Woman: “What’re you telling me that
for? You think I’m one of those women that
only cares about material things?”
The man was quite moved, but
remained silent.
Woman: “What’s your favorite color?”
Man: “I like red.”
Woman: “Oh, I like blue. I’m sorry, but

we aren’t right for each other. We like different things.”

I went to buy some grapes today.
I asked the storekeeper, “Can I taste these
grapes?”

(6) He answered. "No, I don't thik so."
(7) He said, "Then are you carrying the umbrella to keep the sun off you?"
(8) He answered, "No, the sun is not very hot in the spring."
(9) He looked at the big umbrella again.
(10) He said, "I am an old man, and my legs are not very strong, so I really need a

The Perfect Cottage
Angela and Phil had taken a trip into the country for the day. It was a beautiful
day and they were hoping to find a pub, where they could have lunch and idle away a
few pleasant hours. Suddenly Angela stopped the car and pointed to a cottage with a
For Sale sign in the garden. “Mum and dad would like that. They had decided on one
nearer the city, but someone else offered a higher price. I wonder when they could see
over this.” Angela’s parents wanted to buy a country cottage which they would use for
family holidays just now, intending to live there permanently on their retirement. Phil
noted down the estate agent’s address and telephone number and they planned to
ring him up after lunch. They found a pub easily and, after an excellent lunch, they
asked the landlord where the estate agent’s office was. Since it was very near to the
pub, Angela and Phil drove to the office and asked if someone could show them round
the cottage that afternoon. The woman in charge of the office fished out the cottage
keys and drove to the house. Angela and Phil liked it very much, but the woman
impressed on them that cottages in that area usually sold very quickly. “Your parents
might have to beat off several other prospective buyers, unless they move quickly.”
Angela’s parents took her up on the suggestion that they see the cottage immediately
and were soon its proud owners.

The Comma is used wherever it is natural to make a slight pause in a sentence. It

depends to some extent on individual taste, but it is a good rule never to use a comma if the

sense is clear without it. Better too few commas than too many.

An Ethiopian year is comprised of 13 months, and is seven years behind the
Gregorian calendar. In fact, Ethiopians celebrated the new millennium on September
11, 2007; this is because the Ethiopians continued with the same calendar that the
Roman church amended in 525 AD. Till date, Ethiopia uses its ancient calendar.

Crazy and Insane


Hello! This week on Ask a Teacher, we will answer a question from
Leah from Vietnam.

Question:
Hi! I’m Leah from Vietnam. I would like to know the difference
between “insane” and “crazy”. Thank you so much! Leah

Answer:
Dear Leah,
I really appreciate the question. These two words may appear as
synonyms in some situations. But in recent years, their usage and meanings
have changed with increased knowledge of mental health issues.

Let us start with “crazy.”


“Crazy” is mostly used as an adjective and can have several different
meanings that are informal.
Its first meaning is foolish, strange, wild or intense.
The crazy kittens knocked over their water bowl because they were so
excited.
In this example, the kittens were a little wild and foolishly spilled the
water.

Once upon a time there was a famous Arab whose name was Al
Mansur. He was the ruler of all the Arabs, and was therefore called the
caliph.
Al Mansur loved poetry and was fond of hearing poets repeat their
own verses. Sometimes, if a poem was very pleasing, he gave the poet a
prize. One day a poet whose name was Thalibi came to the caliph and recited
a long poem. When he had finished, he bowed, and waited, hoping that he
would be rewarded.
“Which would you rather have” asked the caliph, “three hundred
pieces of gold, or three wise sayings from my lips?”
The poet wished very much to please the caliph. So he said, “Oh, my
master, everybody should choose wisdom rather than wealth.”
The caliph smiled, and said, “Very well, then, listen to my first wise
saying: When your coat is worn out, don’t sew on a new patch; it will look
ugly.”

The Moon Shinning in the

It is known that the Japanese school curriculum includes lessons in which
their nation had once annexed other countries round the world. However, giving these
lessons to children is not meant to make them feel a sense of pride in their annexation.
They are taught about their mistakes by stating that the whole world has been nursing a
grievance against them for their wrong fascism. So they are trained to forgive and forget
even when they are blamed for it, as it is a home truth. They are educated to compensate
for those blunders to the best of their ability so that the world has a positive attitude
towards them. They are asked to use their brains to mull over how to do so. Thus, in
regard to history, children take pride in creditable things only, and they learn their lesson to
avoid the same mistake.
It is stated that in Germany, no student finishes high school without being educated
about the genocide perpetrated by Hitler. Not only are they taught simple facts but they
are given details of why and how it happened and what the root cause was. Germans are
said to grow up feeling guilty about it, so they never hesitate to apologize.
Also in the British Isles, the colonialism practised by the British Empire – aka ‘the
empire on which the sun never sets’ – is taught likewise, indicating that it is dishonourable,
wrong and shameful and that their ancestors had committed such an ignoble act, which
should be a salutary lesson to them.
Children from other countries gradually grow up with the intellectual ability to know
right from wrong and honour from shame. As for us, we grow up blowing our own trumpet
unilaterally, unable to discriminate between a moral and a disgrace, as we are educated in
an adulatory tone. Accordingly, we become adults, big-headed, thanks to the fact that we
are really envious and proud of our forebears. We are just the moon shining in the hollow
of a bamboo. (It means that we are just a big fish in a small pond.) Once we get out of the
bamboo, it dawns on us that we are in the dark while the whole world is brightly lit.
