1. Each time you fail, start all over again, and you will grow stronger until you find that you have accomplished a purpose – not the one began with perhaps, but one you will be glad to remember. 2. Too often, I think, children are required to write before they have anything to say. Teach them to think and read and talk without self-repression, and they will write because they can’t help it.
3. Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instructions.
4. Trouble is a part of life, and if you don’t share it, you don’t give a person who you
enough chance to love you enough.
5. Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.
Once upon a time there was a horse whose name was Reginald.Every morning he was delivering milk, he usually met his friend Blackie, who was a little black dog.
Reginald didn’t want to be a milkman’s horse.He wanted to be a racehorse and win the Derbi. And Blackie, who had rather short legs, wanted to be able to run very fast, like a hound.
One afternoon they were sitting in Reginald’s stable.Suddenly Blackie said that he had, an idea.
«Why do we not eat coal?» — he said. «Trains eat coal a run fast.»
They thought about this for a long time, and at last Reginald said: «Let’s try it,»
So they went down to the coal cellar. They were going to take some some coal, when Mrs Marry, the landlady, came in.
«What! You are stealing my coal!» — she began to cry, and she picked up a piece of coal and threw it at them.They ran away. They had never run so fast in their lives before.
Just then the Mayor was looking out of the window.
«Oh, that horse can run fast I’m sure it can win the Derby, look at the dog; it’s a real hound I’ll give them each a medal.» And he did.
