I took her down stairs to our flat. Smoke was pouring out of the kitchen and the heater was in flames. Just then I heard a fire engine arriving outside and the heavy footsteps of the firemen on the stairs.” It’s in here,” I shouted,” You turned up promptly, I must say.”
When I got back to our flat, my wife was making the old lady a cup of tea, Soon afterwards, the fire chief came in to ask a few questions.

When she returned, my wife remarked : “It’s all right now. Nothing was damaged except the water heater. But wasn’t it lucky that baby slept through the noise ?’

INGGRIS- set 2
Mr. Pomat, a Malupit shop owner, called a meeting to find out the views of the community on local government plants to close the Malupit Community School at the end of the present school year.
Mr. Pomat acted as chairman of the meeting. He introduced Mr. K.Kazarin, the planning Officer of the Raval Education Department. Mr. Kazarin pointed out that there were now only fifty-three children at Malupit Community School. This was considered too high a number for one class under one teacher; and too low a number for the forming of two classes and the employment of two teacher. Mrs. Luvako, who had taught at the school for the past twenty-two years, would be retiring from the teaching service in July. The Planning Office wished to take this opportunity to close the school, because it is expensive to run, and to move the children to two bigger schools in Raval, six miles away
Mrs. Jarvis, the mother of an eight-year-old boy at Malupi, asked what would happen about transport to Raval. Mr.Kazarin replied that the children would travel by bus. This would be provided by the Raval Transport Department, and it would take Malupit children to and from school free of charge
Another parent, Mr.H.Wiley, expressed the fear of many parent that closing the local school would mean that the children of Malupit would not grow up with the same sense of community as in the past. They would feel lost in the much larger schools in Raval.
Mr. Kazarin replied that the Raval school were not very large, and that in any case, the children would have to go to Raval later for education at high-school level.
The chairman voiced the view of the meeting when he said that there was good reason to believe that there would soon be more young children living in Malupit.
It would be foolish, he said, to close the school, and then to find that there were more than enough local children to form two classes and employ two teachers.
A final point was made by Mr.Colmar, a retired businessman, that without Malupit Community School, there would be nowhere big enough for local clubs an organizations to hold their meetings.
Mr.Pomat brought the meeting to a close shortly after 9 0’clock.

INGGRIS- set 2
Mr. Pomat, a Malupit shop owner, called a meeting to find out the views of the community on local government plants to close the Malupit Community School at the end of the present school year.
Mr. Pomat acted as chairman of the meeting. He introduced Mr. K.Kazarin, the planning Officer of the Raval Education Department. Mr. Kazarin pointed out that there were now only fifty-three children at Malupit Community School. This was considered too high a number for one class under one teacher; and too low a number for the forming of two classes and the employment of two teacher. Mrs. Luvako, who had taught at the school for the past twenty-two years, would be retiring from the teaching service in July. The Planning Office wished to take this opportunity to close the school, because it is expensive to run, and to move the children to two bigger schools in Raval, six miles away
Mrs. Jarvis, the mother of an eight-year-old boy at Malupi, asked what would happen about transport to Raval. Mr.Kazarin replied that the children would travel by bus. This would be provided by the Raval Transport Department, and it would take Malupit children to and from school free of charge
Another parent, Mr.H.Wiley, expressed the fear of many parent that closing the local school would mean that the children of Malupit would not grow up with the same sense of community as in the past. They would feel lost in the much larger schools in Raval.
Mr. Kazarin replied that the Raval school were not very large, and that in any case, the children would have to go to Raval later for education at high-school level.
The chairman voiced the view of the meeting when he said that there was good reason to believe that there would soon be more young children living in Malupit.
It would be foolish, he said, to close the school, and then to find that there were more than enough local children to form two classes and employ two teachers.
A final point was made by Mr.Colmar, a retired businessman, that without Malupit Community School, there would be nowhere big enough for local clubs an organizations to hold their meetings.
Mr.Pomat brought the meeting to a close shortly after 9 0’clock.

Mother’s Day
Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis were the best known pioneers who took up the cause of Mother’s Day in the United States. Julia Ward Howe’s “Mother’s Day” in 1872 was a call for disarmament by women. Anna Jarvis, in 1907, organized a day to raise awareness of poor health condition in her community, a cause she believed would be best advocated by mothers. She called it “Mother’s Work Day.” In 1914, US President, Woodrow Wilson signed a Joint Declaration. He declared the second Sunday of May as Mother’s Day, the day to honor motherhood. Today, however, some may think that the commercial community purposely created Mother’s Day to make some extra money.
Nowadays, this auspicious day has literally become commercial affair. Many people spend their time buying material gifts for their mothers. In order to sell more products, many restaurants, gift shops, cake shops and florists usually give special offers on Mother’s Day. Consequently, their cash registers keep ringing non stop. Obviously, Mother’s Day has become a major profit makes for businesses.
It is important to remember that the reason behind celebrating Mother’s Day is to say thanks to the most important person in our life – our mother. It is the day to tell her how much we love her and how special she is for us.
Therefore, instead of merely giving material gifts, giving our mother what she needs and really wants is more precious. Showing off our love by spending more time with her, for example, will certainly give us nothing but heartfelt thanks and real gratitude from our mother.

A Lion and a Mouse
A lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him when the mouse piteously entered, saying, “If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.”
The lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by hunters, who bound with him with strops to the ground. The mouse, recognizing his roar, came, gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set him free, exclaiming, “You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a mouse to confer on a big lion.”

Mother’s Day
Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis were the best known pioneers who took up the cause of Mother’s Day in the United States. Julia Ward Howe’s “Mother’s Day” in 1872 was a call for disarmament by women. Anna Jarvis, in 1907, organized a day to raise awareness of poor health condition in her community, a cause she believed would be best advocated by mothers. She called it “Mother’s Work Day.” In 1914, US President, Woodrow Wilson signed a Joint Declaration. He declared the second Sunday of May as Mother’s Day, the day to honor motherhood. Today, however, some may think that the commercial community purposely created Mother’s Day to make some extra money.
Nowadays, this auspicious day has literally become commercial affair. Many people spend their time buying material gifts for their mothers. In order to sell more products, many restaurants, gift shops, cake shops and florists usually give special offers on Mother’s Day. Consequently, their cash registers keep ringing non stop. Obviously, Mother’s Day has become a major profit makes for businesses.
It is important to remember that the reason behind celebrating Mother’s Day is to say thanks to the most important person in our life – our mother. It is the day to tell her how much we love her and how special she is for us.
Therefore, instead of merely giving material gifts, giving our mother what she needs and really wants is more precious. Showing off our love by spending more time with her, for example, will certainly give us nothing but heartfelt thanks and real gratitude from our mother.
