Turtle's Flute
A Brazilian folktale
Once upon a time,
on the banks of a river,
Turtle played her flute.
When Turtle played,
all the animals listened.
Lions, elephants,
butterflies,
snakes and monkeys
danced to Turtle's music.
One day
a man heard Turtle's music.
Ahh, he thought,
that must be Turtle making music.
that must be Turtle making music.
Turtle would taste very good right now."
So he called out,
Turtle!
Show me your beautiful flute.
Turtle
slowly walked to the door
and held out her flute.
But the moment the man saw Turtle,
But the moment the man saw Turtle,
he grabbed her by the neck
and began to run.
Turtle tried to cry for help,
but she couldn't make a sound.
but she couldn't make a sound.
She closed her eyes,
holding tightly to her flute
for good luck.
When the man reached his hut,
he put Turtle
into a cage
and shut it.
Then
he turned to his children:
Don't let Turtle out of her cage.
Don't let Turtle out of her cage.
And off he went to the fields.
And off he went to the fields.
The children began to play outside.
The children began to play outside.
Turtle sat very still inside her cage,
Turtle sat very still inside her cage,
thinking about the father's words.

She began to play a sweet tune on her flute,
She began to play a sweet tune on her flute,
She began to play a sweet tune on her flute,
and the children ran to the cage.
and the children ran to the cage.
Is that you playing,
Turtle?
they asked,
their eyes wide with wonder.
Yes,
Turtle said.
She kept on playing,
for she could see
the children were delighted.
At last
she stopped.
I can dance even better than I can play, she said.
I can dance even better than I can play, she said.
I can dance even better than I can play, she said.
Would you like to see?
Oh, please! the little boy cried.
I'll show you
how to dance and play at the same time,
how to dance and play at the same time,"
how to dance and play at the same time,"
said Turtle.
But you must open the cage.
But you must open the cage.
There is no room in here."
So the little boy
opened the cage
and Turtle
began to dance and play.

The children laughed
and clapped their hands,
for never
had they seen such a wonderful thing.

Then Turtle stopped.
Don't stop!
the children cried.
Oh, Turtle groaned.
My legs are stiff.
If I could just walk a little bit to loosen them ...
If I could just walk a little bit to loosen them ..."
Don't go too far,
the little girl cautioned.
Come right back.
Never fear,
said Turtle. "You wait right here."
said Turtle. "You wait right here."
Turtle
crawled off toward the jungle.

The moment
she was out of sight,
she raced all the way back to her house.

Nobody ever found Turtle again.

But to this day,
if you stretch your ear, you can listen
if you stretch your ear, you can listen
to the sweet sound of a flute in the forest.

The Greatest Treasure
By Amit Garg
One day,
Peter found a treasure map.
Hurray!
I'm going to find this treasure
and have some adventure!
he exclaimed.
Peter set off.
He walked a long way
and finally reached a forest.
There he met Lion.
You are strong and courageous,
said Peter to Lion.
Will you come with me
on a treasure hunt?
Lion agreed and joined Peter.
The forest was dense and dark.
Peter was afraid,
but with Lion by his side,
he made it through.
When the two
finally reached the mountain,
they met Eagle.
You have excellent vision
and can alert us to dangers,
said Peter to Eagle.
Will you come with us?
We're looking for a treasure!
Eagle agreed
and joined Peter and Lion.
The mountains were tall and craggy.
Lion slipped,
but Peter was swift enough to
give him a hand
and pull him up.
Eagle, with his sharp vision,
watched every step they took.
Soon, they reached the valley below
where they met Sheep.
Will you join us
in our search for a treasure?
Peter asked Sheep.
And keep us warm when it's cold?
And keep us warm when it's cold?
Sheep agreed
and joined Peter,
Lion and Eagle.
A cold wind
swept across the endless meadow.
swept across the endless meadow.
They all huddled against Sheep,
who kept them warm and cozy.
The four finally reached the desert,
where they met Camel.
You are called the ship of the desert,
said Peter to Camel.
Will you help us get across
and join the treasure hunt too?
Camel agreed.
Peter, Lion and Sheep
mounted the camel
and set off happily
across the vast desert,
with Eagle enjoying the
spectacle from above.
Camel began galloping
and everybody cheered with excitement.
Crossing the desert
on Camel's back
was thrilling!
The five finally reached the ocean,
where they met Turtle.
Can you help us cross the ocean?
Peter asked Turtle.
We are on a treasure hunt.
Turtle agreed and joined Peter,
Lion, Eagle, Sheep and Camel.
The rough waves
almost drowned the party,
but Turtle skillfully
transported them across.
They met Owl on the other side.
Owl spoke from his ancient wisdom:
Congratulations,
you have found the treasure.
Where is it?
they all exclaimed in surprise.
Together
you have passed the forest,
climbed the mountains,
dared the valley,
braved the desert,
and crossed the ocean.
You would never have done it
without one another.
They all looked at each other
and realized
that Owl was right –
they had found friendship!
Indeed, they had found
the greatest treasure ever!

The Elves and the Shoemaker
Retold by BookBox
Although Peter Schumaker
worked hard and was kind
to everyone in the village,
he could never earn
enough money making his shoes.
On this particular cold
and snowy day,
all he had left in his workroom
was leather enough to make one last pair of shoes.
That evening, Peter
carefully cut up his precious leather
and laid it aside
for morning, when he would sew the pieces together.
The sun rose the next morning
and Peter was ready
to start work,
but
to his great surprise,
an exquisitely crafted
pair of shoes sat on his work table.
"What magic!"
said Cecilia, his wife,
as they quickly put the shoes
in the shop window
for the holiday shopping season
had just begun.
As luck would have it,
the shoes suited
the finicky Miss Sniggins perfectly
and she paid a generous sum
for the fine fit.
With the money,
Peter bought more leather,
enough
for two more pairs!
That evening,
he once again set to work
cutting his leather,
and left the pieces on the table
and left the pieces on the table
when he went to bed.
Hoping for a good design,
he fell asleep dreaming of shoes.
When he awoke early the next morning,
When he awoke early the next morning,
he again found two finely
crafted pairs of shoes
on the table.
Customers bought these up quickly too,
for they were masterpieces.
Now Peter could buy
enough leather for four pairs of shoes.
This magical business
went on for some time,
and soon Schumaker's name
became well known
for the finest shoes in town!
These days,
life was much better for Peter and Cecilia.
life was much better for Peter and Cecilia.
One day Cecilia said,
"I wonder who has been helping us
so diligently?"
Peter announced,
"Tonight
we will hide in the workshop
and see what goes on there!"
And so they did!
At exactly midnight,
two tiny elves
tiptoed in
and began to work,
swiftly making the fine shoes!
They were shabbily dressed
and weren't even wearing shoes themselves.
Before daybreak
they had already dashed off,
leaving several pairs of shoes
leaving several pairs of shoes
ready for sale the next day.
Peter and Cecilia
were grateful to these little elves
and worried about them
working so hard
in such cold weather.
So Peter
set to work
making two tiny pairs of
shoes
and Cecilia
stitched two
warm sets of clothes for each of them.
On Christmas Eve,
instead of leather pieces,
they set the little shoes
and hid themselves again.
At midnight,
the elves popped in
and saw the new fittings.
In a flash, they had them on their little bodies!
They were so happy
that they laughed and laughed
and danced right out of the window
and were never to be seen again.
Peter
continued making shoes
every day, and he and Cecilia lived
a very happy and contented life for evermore.
As did the elves!

South Africa bowl out Sri Lanka for 193 in first ODI - Duration: 2:29.
South Africa bowl out Sri Lanka for 193 in first ODI
South Africa bowl out Sri Lanka for 193 in first ODI.
Kagiso Rabada and Tabraiz Shamsi claimed four wickets each as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 193 in the first one-day international on Sunday.
Sri Lanka lasted just 34.3 overs but batsman Kusal Perera hit a gritty 81 to lift the hosts from a precarious 36-5 following their decision to bat first in Dambulla.
Kusal, whose 72-ball stay included seven fours and a six, put on a crucial 92-run sixth-wicket stand with Thisara Perera, who made 49.
Rabada, South Africa's pace spearhead, rattled the Sri Lankan top-order with his first three strikes while Shamsi returned career-best one-day figures of 4-33.
Kusal and Thisara counter-attacked to hit the South African bowlers to all parts of the ground as Sri Lanka reached 100 in the 16th over.
The left-handed batting duo cashed in on the inexperience of rookie pacemen Willem Mulder and Andile Phehlukwayo as they plundered runs.
But the introduction of spin in the 18th over again put Sri Lanka in trouble as Shamsi broke the dangerous partnership by getting Thisara caught behind.
Kusal kept up the good work to get his fourth ODI fifty and got support from Akila Dananjaya with a 38-run partnership.
He finally fell to Shamsi after attempting a reverse sweep to get caught at point.
Rabada returned to combine with Shamsi as the two cleared Sri Lanka's final wickets and raise hopes of an early lead in the five-match series.

Author Jilly Cooper criticises Meghan for encouraging Harry's new healthy says the 'hunky' prince - Duration: 6:24.
Author Jilly Cooper criticises Meghan for encouraging Harry's new healthy regime - and says the 'hunky' prince doesn't need correcting
Jilly Cooper has revealed she is a Meghan Markle fan, however admits that she disapproved of the Duchess of Sussex reportedly putting Prince Harry on a diet eating plan ahead of their May wedding.
The racy novelist, 81, who shot to fame after writing the Rutshire Chronicles, gushed that she 'loves' the 'stunningly beautiful' Meghan in an interview with The Sunday Times.
But she added: 'Harry's a lovely, hunky man.
You shouldn't put men on diets.
I think that's awful.
I don't like correcting people, do you?.
'I want him to be our Harry, as well as her Harry.
He's a good boy who desperately needs a loving atmosphere.'.
In May reports surfaced claimed that Meghan had introduced Harry to her 'clean eating' regime to help him shape up for their wedding, as well as preparing him for impending fatherhood.
Meghan — who tries to eat only vegan food during the week and drinks alcohol in moderation — reportedly helped wean Harry off meat as well as processed foods and introduced healthy, organic alternatives — with his blessing.
He was said to have cut down on his drinking, too, as well as giving up smoking.
Harry was said to be taking the regime so seriously he reportedly worked with nutritionist and ex-model Gabriela Peacock, who recommends a regime low in sugar, high in protein, and free of dairy.
Harry reportedly lost more than half a stone ahead of the wedding, and was seen attending a Chelsea gym regularly.
Meanwhile Jilly is no stranger to controversial opinions, having claimed in June that she was 'worried' about the effect the Me Too campaign may have on views of courtship.
Describing how campaigns against sexual harassment have affected relationships, Mrs Cooper said: 'One lovely man said 'I can't flirt any more'.
You have a mini skirt up to here, then 'do not touch' tattooed across your knees.'.
However, despite her comments, Mrs Cooper conceded that modern men are better at trying to make relationships work.
'I think a lot of the young men I know love their wives and are determined to make their marriages stay,' she said.
'But being happily married doesn't stop you falling in love with other people.'.
Addressing how the internet has changed the landscape for dating, Mrs Cooper sounded a note of caution about the dangers of meeting someone you found online.
She told the audience: 'I don't know how many of you go online, but the idea of going online.
I have a bad hip and I can't run away from a mass murderer.'.
Author Jilly Cooper says the MeToo push back against sexual abuse means men and women can no longer flirt with one other.
The writer - known for racy reads such as Riders, Rivals and Polo - said the movement has changed the way people interact.
She claimed to love it when men wolf-whistle at her as she discussed the reaction to rape allegations made against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, whose accusers include actress Rose McGowan.
'You can't flirt any more,' she told The Sunday Times.
'We used to have so much more fun!'.
The 81-year-old theorised that her lothario character Rupert Campbell-Black, who features in many of her books and is known for his sexual exploits, 'would be locked up in prison' in today's climate.
She branded sex abusers 'horrible, horrible, horrible' and said she feels for those who are speaking out.
Cooper added: 'But what worries me is that some poor man at the end of his life will be hauled out and told that he jumped on somebody in the year BC.
Cooper, whose husband Leo died in 2013, said she had not suffered assault in her own life.
'Men on the whole have been very nice to me,' she said.
'I love being wolf-whistled.
I know men shouldn't jump on everybody.
But I do think men have stronger libidos than women.'.

Mugabe hints he may vote for opposition leader Chamisa.
Zimbabwe's former president Robert Mugabe, who was ousted in November, suggested Sunday he could vote for opposition leader Nelson Chamisa rather than Emmerson Mnangagwa of the ruling ZANU-PF in the presidential election "I can't vote for ZANU-PF.
what is left? I think it is just Chamisa," Mugabe told a press conference in Harare on the eve of the historic vote.
"For the first time ever we have now a long list of aspirants to power," Mugabe said.
"I cannot vote for those who tormented me.
I will make my choice among the other 22 (candidates) but it is a long list." Zimbabwe goes to the polls on Monday in its first election since Mugabe was forced to resign last November after 37 years in power, with allegations mounting of voter fraud and predictions of a disputed result.
Zimbabwe's military generals shocked the world in November when they seized control and ushered Mnangagwa to power after Mugabe, who is in frail health, tried to position his wife Grace, 53, to be his successor.

14 PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS FOR BEGINNERS FROM PROs, Vol.3 - Duration: 3:52.
(electronic piano music)
(hip electronic piano music)
- Even though I've been shooting,
I consider myself a newcomer,
and I think it's a really tricky thing
because everybody tells you that you need to be a specialist
and in my life what I have learned is that actually--
and anybody else is teaching you, they go like,
don't put all your eggs into one basket.
That's like the life lesson that I've learned here
yet everybody else wants to tell you in photography
that you should specialize.
I think what you need to do
is photograph what you're passionate about,
whether it's micro, or macro photography,
or landscapes, whatever that is,
do what makes you happy.
I think from that figure out what it is that you can do
and do it well and create a job from that point on.
But, I do feel that you should try
a whole bunch of different things.
Action, from action sports to other things,
because photography is an art
and it also has technical aspects to it.
I think you should learn a lot about your equipment
and other peoples' equipment.
You should learn a lot about different genres and styles
to figure out what you really want.
(hip electronic music)
- There's this thing called fake it 'til you make it.
There's some truth to it.
You don't keep the drama to yourself,
you don't tell everyone about the negative parts
of your job, any job, you know, your work.
But I think being genuine about your artwork
like being, showing your true self through your work
and also to the people you meet is very important
in this industry; timeless is the new cool.
I really believe that.
- I would suggest finding friends
and people that you feel comfortable with
and starting there so you show up
with some confidence until you can build
your confidence in photography and expand.
(mid-tempo electronic classical music)
- And another advice to anyone
who's trying to build a business:
photography, although a lot of it is creative
at the end art, it's still a business
and you still wanna grow it.
We started in 2014 and we really didn't feel the break
until like three years after
and we're still working towards a certain goal.
Give it a few years.
Give it at least five years, I would say
to see if it's something really for you.
The growth is always exponential
I think in anything; especially in business.
- I think it's important to listen to your own heart.
Maybe, it's important for the artist,
for the photographer to be alone,
to be in solitude, so you can experience,
you can dig deeper in your heart and your soul and see
what is inside, what is it what you wanna do.
♪ You wake me up and yet you ground me ♪
♪ Ain't nothin' gettin' in my way ♪
- I have found that it's really helpful
to start with what you know.
Since I started as a dance major,
I knew dance, I felt confident in dance,
I felt confidence working with dancers, so I started there.
They're inspiring for that helped us all.
So you're walking into the shoot knowing
something about what you're shooting
and not brand new to the photography
and the subject you're shooting.
- In some times, we're distracted by too much noise.
Too many people, too many opinions, and points of views.
It's really important to escape
and see and just look inside of you.
(chill electronic hip-hop beats)
