Kindness Pays

Kindness Pays
By
Timothy W. Carlson

      Gemsboks, who are compassionate and helpful antelopes, can kill a predator with one stab.   One day a playful leopard was crouching in the jungle and suddenly found himself in pain and stress because he had stepped on a thorn.   He was in the forest near Goma and needed help.   He then tried to call someone but wasn’t successful.   Haggle went to a pasture and found a Gemsbok feeding on the grass.   The leopard then asked if the Gemsbok could help him.   The Gemsbok thought for a while and commanded that if he tried to attack him he would stab him with his horn.   The leopard responded, “Yes, I will leave you alone”.   So the Gemsbok, Orlando, agreed and skillfully pulled out the thorn in no time.   When this happened Hiporuth was king.
     Now there was a very naughty fawn that went into a farmer’s property and gobbled all the cabbage one night.   The farmer’s son, who had suspiciously found fresh tracks that morning, discovered it was a gemsbok’s footprint.   So he found Orlando and captured him, falsely accusing him of taking the cabbages.   Meanwhile, the leopard who had been captured was being whipped and starved to make him angry.   While Orlando was in need of a miracle, he began praying and shouting in the pit, “Help I’m innocent”.   Then one morning Orlando was thrown into an arena where Haggle had been set free because Hiporuth wanted blood.   Bloodthirsty Haggle opened his mouth, roared, and then he charged…….
     The leopard suddenly stopped and recognized the gemsbok, who was set to fight.   He walked up and greeted his own friend again.   Orlando was surprised, relieved and also grateful.   While the king was angry, he also marveled at the sight.   Then because the farmer lost some of his food, the furiously Orlando sent the foolish fawn to dig for the farmer until he had repaid him.    Kindness compensates.

This a Very Harsh Oath

The Hippocratic Oath

     I swear that I will use my life to find new remedies for diseases and illnesses.   That if someone dies because of one of my concoctions I will cut off an arm, a leg, and an ear.   And if I make a useful remedy then I will be paid five thousand dollars, a new car, and a new house.   If I disobey then I will be killed.

At the Painting Place

This Sunday Josh Caleb and I went to the place that we painted during Christmas break.   They have a well which they hand dug in about three days and is about 20 feet.   They built some nice bathrooms and showers.   Well we went there to play soccer so while their food was cooking we played soccer on the roadway .   It was pretty even teams though they had this really big buff guy which you could see they veins popping out.   Caleb and Josh's team won.   They were all really muscular because of all the work thay had been doing.

Alliteration Poems

The terrific tiny Tim tipped the tall tank.
The terrified tiger tasted his own blood.
An angry adder attacked an ass.
Lyle loved and liked little Lydia.
A brown bear bore through the back of a buggy.

Fine!

Finally the pond which we have been working on is complete...I wonder if the dirt will hold?   Papa might want to check a few places but we are finally finished.   We are thinking of putting tilapia in it.  The first fish Lipgut and Ferahgo are going to be put in it.   I caught Lipgut and a Congolese caught Ferahgo which Caleb named.   When I caught Lipgut I tried to take out the hook but ripped his lower lip open.   So thats why I called him that name.
