The Happy Prince
Textual Writings
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write an imaginary dialogue in about eighty words between two birds in winter, one of whom is flying away to a warm country and the other who is stuck in a cold land.
Swallow : Hello, brother
sparrow, farewell to you. Meet you again in spring.
Sparrow : What for are you
going to a far away unknown country? We
are much better here though in cold.
Swallow: That's a real
adventure. Again we will be able to avoid cold.
Sparrow: I can't admit your
logic. This is our home land. Hoe happy we are here!
Swallow : But the present
cold is really intolerable!
Sparrow: Whatever may be we
are not going with you.
Swallow : Ok, then let me go.
I am late enough.
Sparrow: Then good bye. Wish
you a happy journey.
Swallow : Thank you a lot.

Dear Bappa,
Hope all of you are well. Yesterday I felt a kind of satisfaction which I never felt before and I am going to share my experience with you.
While returning from my
tuition, I boarded a crowded bus and somehow managed to get a seat. After some
time, an old man, almost bent with age and looking quite ill, boarded the bus.
He was constantly tripping. The other passengers, instead of offering him a
seat were showing disgust towards him. I could not help but stood up and gave
my seat. Believe me, I instantly felt a strange satisfaction within, when the
man blessed me. My heart glowed/leapt up with boundless joy.
No more today. Take care
of yourself and help others.
Yours ever,
Baban
