The Charcoal-Burner's Son

My father he's at the kiln away,

My mother sits at her spinning;

But wait, I'll too be a man some day,

And a sweetheart I'll be winning.

So dark it is far off in the forest.

At the dawn I am up and off with the sun

Hurrah! when the sun's a-shimmer.

To father then with his food with me,

And long mountain shadows are thrown there.

So dark it is far off in the forest.

Tralala! As glad as a bird in flight.

I'll sing as the path I follow.

But harsh the reply from the mountain high,

And the woods are heavy and hollow.

So dark it is far off in the forest.

The shadows come down so thick so thick.

s if curtains were drawn together,

There's rustle and rattle of stone and stick,

And trolls are walking the heather,

So dark it is far off in the forest.

There's one! There are two! In their net they'll take

Me, alas!---how the fires are waving!

They beckon, O God, do not Thou me forsake!

By flight my life I'd be saving.

So dark it is far off in the forest.

The hours went by, the daylight was gone,

The way it grew ever more wild now,

There's whisp'ring and rustling o'er stick and o'er stone

As over the heath runs the child now.

So dark it is far off in the forest.

With rosy-red cheeks and heart beating fast,

To his father's kiln swiftly fleeing,

He fell."My dear son, oh, welcome at last!"

"'Tis trolls, aye, and worse I've been seeing.

So dark it is far off in the forest.

"My son, it is long here I've had to dwell,

But God has preserved me from evil.

Whoever knows his Our Father well

Fears neither for troll nor for devil,

Though dark it is far off in the forest.

This is about a kid who is scared of the dark and thinking that there are trolls anywhere the forest but his father explain to him that it is long here I've had to dwell that God preserved him from evil. 

 

The Necklace :))

This story is about a woman whose life became miserable because of the necklace she borrowed. Her previous life was just simple but it all started when her husband got home holding a large envelope containing an invitation to a ball. But when Mathilde open it she threw it on the table. Her husband ask if what is the problem? "I don't have any dress" She answered, Then her husband give four hundred francs to her so she can buy a dress. Then she got another problem she doesn't have any jewelry so she borrowed a necklace from her friend, Mme. Forestier. When they entered the ball all of the men look at her. After that when Mathile got home she realized that the necklace was gone and she got nervous, her husband was shock that she lost the necklace. 

 Mathilde lie to Forestier that her necklace was broken and they try to fix it but Mathilde plans to buy another necklace same as the necklace she lost. They search in a shop at the Palais Royal, a string diamonds which is

exactly the same the one she lost. It was worth forty thousand francs but they begged the jeweler not to sell it for three days. And her husband made a bargain to buy it for thirty-four thousand francs. Mathilde and her husband really need to work hard to buy that necklace.

Then they earn the money they buy the necklace right away. When Mathilde found Mme. Forestier she return the necklace to her then Forestier was shock that Mathilde looks old. Mathilde explain what happen she told Forestier the truth about the necklace then Forestier was surprise that the necklace Mathilde bought was thirty-four thousand francs but the real price of the necklace of Forestier was five hundred francs.

So that's it the lesson here is you should not lie because when you lie sometimes it can destroy your life like what happen to Mathilde she got old because of the necklace.

TROY!!

This is our movie review heheh yeah!! The movie was great it contains lots of actions.

Ok let's start, Paris the prince of Troy and the brother of Hector has fell in love with the Queen of Sparta. Helen the wife of Menelaus the King of Sparta. Paris steal Helen from Menelaus and sailed away. Then Menelaus got mad and ask for help from his brother Agamemnon King of Mycenae to attack Troy. 

So the war started Agamemnon summon his mighty warrior named Achilles.When Menelaus and Agamemnon got there, Menelaus challenge the brother of Hector to fight him in single combat. Paris was weak so he forfeit but Menelaus wants to kill Paris but Hector protected him.

After that the cousin of Achilles, Patroclos wants to join the war but Achilles refuses. Patroclos use the armor of Achilles to disguise him like Achilles and lead Achilles men, the Myrmidons. Then Hector found Patroclos, he thought it was Achilles then they fought in single combat and Patroclos got killed. When Achilles found out that his cousin was killed by Hector. Achilles was so mad and he plans to challenge Hector in single combat. The wife of Hector, Andromache wants to stop Hector by fighting Achilles. But Hector has no choice but to face the mighty warrior. Then the battle begins Hector knows that he has no match with Achilles. Achilles shows no mercy because he is so angry. When Hector got killed, Achilles tied his feet to his chariot and go back to his base.

Priam the King of Troy and the father of Hector and Paris. He wants the body of his son when he found out that Achilles was alone. He came near Achilles and clasped his knees, and kissed the terrible murderous hands. Achilles was amazed and realized that he did a terrible thing, he gave the body of Hector to Priam and let Briseis free and promise no greek will attack Troy for 12 days.

After that when the Trojans search the place, they found a giant horse made of wood. Paris told his father to burn it but Priam keeps it. They didn't know that the greeks are hiding inside of the horse. At night the greeks open the gate and start the attack. Achilles search for Briseis to help her escape. When Achilles found Briseis, Paris shoots him at the heel with his bow. The heel of Achilles is the weak spot. Briseis leans closer. He is losing to much blood and his strength is fading, but he summons his remaining energy to speak " you gave me peace in a life time of war. I chose this night...but you will see the sun again. I want you to live". Achilles wipes the tears that are pouring from her eyes away.

So that's it ahmm after that Briseis and Paris escape hehehe this part is so sad. Achilles didn't have a chance to live with her but he spend a little romance with Briseis. Ok so that's it heheh Ms. Ly I hope you like it hehe :))
