~Little Things~

by Julia A. Carney

Little drops of water,Little drains of sand,

Make the mighty oceanAnd the beauteous land.

And the little moments,Humble though they be,Make the mighty ages

Of eternity.

So our little errorsLead the soul away,

From the paths of virtue

Into sin to stray.Little deeds of kindness,

Little words of love,Make our earth an Eden,Like the heaven above

Central Idea

Often little things in life indicate great

changes.

For example: Little drops of water make

mighty oceans, similarly little deeds of

kindness can make us dear even to our

enemies and thus make this world a happy

place to live in.

~Adventures of Isabel~

by Ogden Nash

Isabel met an enormous bear,

Isabel, Isabel, didn't care;

The bear was hugry, the bear was ravenous,

The bear's big mouth was cruel and cavernous.

The bear said, Isabel, glad to meet you,

How do, Isabel, now I'll eat you!Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry.

Isabel didn't scream or scurry.

She washed her hands and she straightened her hair up,

Then Isabel quietly ate the bear up.

Once in a night as black as pitch

Isabel met a wicked old witch.

the witch's face was cross and wrinkled,

The witch's gums with teeth were sprinkled.

Ho, ho, Isabel! the old witch crowed,

I'll turn you into an ugly toad!Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,

Isabel didn't scream or scurry,

She showed no rage and she showed no rancor,

But she turned the witch into milk and drank her.

Isabel met a hideous giant,

Isabel continued self reliant.

The giant was hairy, the giant was horrid,

He had one eye in the middle of his forehead.Good morning, Isabel, the giant said,

I'll grind your bones to make my bread.

Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,

Isabel didn't scream or scurry.

She nibbled the zwieback that she always fed off,

And when it was gone, she cut the giant's head off.Isabel met a troublesome doctor,

He punched and he poked till he really shocked her.

The doctor's talk was of coughs and chills

And the doctor's satchel bulged with pills.

The doctor said unto Isabel,

Swallow this, it will make you well.Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,

Isabel didn't scream or scurry.

She took those pills from the pill concocter,

And Isabel calmly cured the doctor

Central Idea

One can still conquer in life despite all thechallenges out there.

For example: Isabel who had lots of challenges to

overcome such as the bear, the witch and the doctor

still manage to make it in the end. Its possible to

make it in life irrespective of the obstacles. All we

need is to keep facing challenges squarely. We

shouldnt be overwhelmed by them rather, we haveto fight them and continue our race in the journey of

life.
