MY FAVOURITE BOOK

I am fond of reading books.My teacher and parents have cultivated in me the habit of reading books.I select books to purchase from the list given by the SCHOLASTIC BOOK CLUB.Sometimes I find these books are priced aboe my reach and it is verydifficult for me to purchase many books.However , I go to our school library to read various books given to me by the librarian.I bought a book titled 'JUSTICE LEAGUE - THE SWARM'.A beautiful story about a large group pf insects , especially bees moving around togethernear the moon.GREEN LANTERN,the hero of the story while floating in space encounters SUPER MAN and WONDER WOMAN. They all try to land on the moon, but fail in their attempt. They finally come to know that there is know air / oxygen on the moon and man cannot live there. This book enriched my knowledge in science and social studies during my fourth standard.

HOW MANY FRIENDS DO U HAVE ???

Tis is an interesting incident tat I had faced recently.Read the following with concentration ..

The old man turned to me and asked "How many friends have you?" Why 10 or 20 friends have I, and named off just a few... He rose quite slow with effort and sadly shook his head "A lucky child you are to have so many friends," he said.But think of what you're saying there is so much you do not know , A friend is just not someone
To whom you say "Hello" , A friends a tender shoulder on which to softly cry , a well to pour your troubles down and raise your spirits high.A friend is a hand to pull you up from darkness and despair... When all your other "so called" friends have helped to put you there . A true friend is an ally who can't be moved or bought , a voice to keep your name alive when others have forgot .But most of all a friend is a heart ,
a strong and sturdy wall for from the hearts of friends , there comes the greatest love of all!!! So think of what I've spoken for every word is true and answer once again my child how many friends have you???

So friends think well how many friends do u have ?????
