Alliance

This is a marriage in India. I do not even know if what I’m going to type will make sense. The alliance between a bride, groom, and their children is formed in a chain. Oh, and the grandparents are included in a way too. So, first of all the parents of the bride and groom marry the bride and groom. Then, a few years later, they get children. The bride’s and groom’s parents are the grandparents of the bride and groom’s child or children.

(I’M SURE WHAT I JUST SAID DIDN’T EVEN MAKE SENSE)Right? Or did it?

Well, that’s the mess up for today. Bye!

Allegory

Have you ever seen India's allegory?It's a four-sided lion statue.I haven't seen it though.I've only seen it in books and pictures.Probably it is in the capital,New Delhi.Do you know the following....?

India's animal:tiger
India's tree:Banyan Tree
Colors of India's flag in order:Orange,White with a blue wheel in the middle of the white band,and green
India's bird:Peacock

The color saffron is supposed to symbolize courage, the color white peace, and the color green prosperity.
The chakrha (spinning wheel) originally at the center stood for Gandhi's spinning wheel, symbolizing self-sufficiency. It was later replaced by the Asoka Chara, the "wheel of the law" found in the emblems of the 3rd century BC Mauryan emperor Asoka

Akin

Just to tell you there's a girl who's mind is akin to mine.Her name is Roop.She likes to read like me.She even does math very well,meaning she does it to my level.We have a group called "The Three Musketeers."In the TTM group,we have me,Roop,and Meghana.Meghana is alittle different from me and Roop.But,otherwise,Meghana is akin to our minds too.That's why we're The Three Musketeers!

There was a little girl walking back home from school.It was called Warwick School.She had gone ahead of her sister and brother.She waited for them after she crossed the road.As she waited,one black figure came up. She was frightened that it was a kidnapper.But, when she could see them little up closer,there were two figures.So,she waited to see who those two figures were.GUESS WHAT?...................................When the two figures held her hands she was aghast.They were none other than her...BROTHER AND SISTER! "PHEW!" She said to herself and went happily home.

Aftermath

Do you know about the earthquake in San Francisco?It happened in the year of 1906.

Well,I have in my Social Studies Book,a story from a girl who had survived the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco.She said that when the bricks began to crumble and tumble,her whole family and neighborhood came out with whatever they were wearing.There were a few aftermaths,but then everything was still.So, they were going into their house but on the way they were told that it might continue until night.They took whatever they needed for the night and they took a tent.Then they camped.The next morning,everything was fine so they went home happily ever after.

Affluence-The Word of the Day May 26,2009

Just saying any word in one single sentence isn't fun is it.You should imagine how fun it would be for me here,that too in the morning writing a story with only one vocabulary word. Well,anyway let's tell a story about wealth in other words affluence.
Once upon a time,a man's father was about to die.His father told his son he can have all the money that he left behind.But,he said on one condition that if he misuses the wealth he had,he would suffer.His son was half angel and half demon, angel because he didn't want his father to die and demon he wanted the money.Once,his father died he became a demon hogging all the affluence.He used the money for small little things and was misusing it for wants instead of needs.So,he became poor by the second and was reduced to beggary.In that job he remained until he died.

Well, never mind that.Now, if you want to know where acupuncture originated,I'll tell you just in a second...1 minute please...Aha!Here it is...CHINA! CHINA! China? Hm?
