Our Best Pet-Dogs or Cats

Although most people believe that man’s best friend is a dog, I think it
should be a cat. Cats have been used as pets for a long time. They are found
in countries all over the world. Obviously, they are the favourites of man
for hundreds of years. I suppose cats are so well liked because they are
gentle, friendly and easy to take care of.

School

School is the temple of learning. It is a holy place for gaining knowledge.
Teachers teach you how to add and subtract. You learn how to read
books. You learn how to write and use computers. You learn to play, dance
and sing there. Good habits and manners are learnt at school. Thus, school
is important for all of us.

Dogs

Dogs are wonderful pets to have. Dogs know how to do tricks. They love
to run and play. Dogs are hairy and very cute. They love to lick you w
hen you hug them. They are the most sincere and obedient pet animals to
their owners throughout the world. They take care of the things perfectly.
They are fun to have.

My Favourite Holiday

My favourite holiday is Christmas. I like decorating Christmas tree with
lights. I send greetings to my friends writing “Merry Christmas.” Santa
Claus brings us nice presents. In the morning, we get to open our presents
and play with our toys. Then our family eats a big dinner for Christmas. I feel
happy to celebrate Christmas with my family and friends.

The Dishonest Hand

Once a thief was brought before a judge and was
charged that he made a hole in the wall of a man’s
house and stole a chest of jewels. The thief fell
upon his knees and cried, and then told the judge
that he was a poor and honest person. It was, he
said, his right hand which would give him trouble
by its wicked deeds. The thief said, “My hand
made the hole and went through the wall and stole the jewels while I stayed
outside the wall. I did not go into the house. Therefore, I am not a thief.”

The judge then replied, “You are indeed an honest man and so should be
pitied but your wicked hand shall go to prison for five years. You may stay
outside the prison like you did while your hand stole the jewels.”

On hearing the verdict of the judge, the thief realized that it was not his hand
but his mind worked. His hand did whatever his mind asked him to do. He
thought that he would get rid of problem by blaming the hand for stealing the
jewels but the story of his dishonest hand prevailed the truth.
