Rist should combine with Ris students in the same place

‘RIST should combine with RIS students in the same place’
    Students will be better in English and they will have Fun and relax in the same school. Being in the same school is the best thing because you can find better relationships, the best canteen, the most improvement, the best school, and the best times. The answer is when we mix RIST students with RIS students in the same school. RIST should combine with RIS.

     It will be more comfortable to teachers and students If we mix them in the same place because teachers will not lose time to teach the students from the problem that they need to walk from one building to another and teachers can have more chance to take care the students as well.


     The students can have more choice of friends. RIST has only 15 students per class, but Ris has 30 students per class. I think it’s unfair because the classes that have the students with more than 15 people will have more fun. So if we mix the students together, they will have more chances to choose friends such as good friends or bad friends. I think it is so important to find a good relationship with someone, so let’s combine the schools to find more friends.

     RIS students can be good helpers to RIST students. Just everyone knows that RIS students’ English skills are more advanced than RIST. Some RIST students have almost no English in normal life. After we mix, I think RIST can follow the way that RIS do by spend the time with English and it will be possible to RIST students to have more improvement.


     Here is something that I would like to remind you.If you never combine them together, the RIS and RIST students will not have more fun, more improvement, more English or more happiness. If we combine them, it will be better for students to have more choice to choose friends such as good friends or bad friends.And it will be more comfortable for everyone in school to stay in the same place. Do you ever know that RIS students can be good helper to Rist students? Because RIS students English skills are better in English than RIST.


     The last thing that I would like to tell you is some Rist have almost no English. So if we combine them they will have more improvement, they can be a good helper for each other. It should be more comfortable to teachers to teach the students in the same place. Because it will not be complicate to teacher to walk from one building to another and it will be easier for teachers to take care their students. And remember! It so hard to find the good relationship so if we mix them, they can have more choice to choose friends. Anyway, don’t think too much. Let’s combine them to get the better things for our schools.

story ;  The Seven Weavers and The Field of Flax pages 1-10

Seven weavers once started on a moonlight journey.
They had not gone very far from their home when they lost the road. 
After trying to find their way, they came to a field of flax, which they took to be a river, 
as the field was in flower, and they fancied the blue color of the flower to be that of water. 
They stripped themselves and began swimming. After hard labor, they got across. 
To make certain that no one was drowned, they took the precaution of counting themselves
before resuming their journey; but they discovered that one of them was missing, as each forgot
to count himself. Grieved at the loss of one of their company, they had not the heart to pursue
their journey, but returned home.

STORY : Let's See On Which Side The Camel Sits PAGES 1-10
Once a greengrocer and a potter jointly hire a camel and each 
 filled one side of the pannier with his goods. The camel as he
went along the road took a mouthful every now and then as he has
a chance from the green-grocer's bag of vegetables. This provoked 
a laugh from the potter who thought he had the best of the bargain.
But the time came for the camel to sit and he naturally sat on the heavier side
bearing down on the pots and also to have his mouth free to operate on the bag of greens.
This caused the pots to break in the bag and then the greengrocer had all the laugh to himself.

STORY :  Right and Might

WHILE a deer was eating wild fruit, he heard an owl call "Haak, haak" (a spear), and a cricket cry, "Wat" (surround), and, frightened, he fled. In his flight he ran through the trees up into the mountains and into streams. In one of the streams the deer stepped upon a small fish and crushed it almost to death. Then the fish complained to the court, and the deer, owl, cricket, and fish had a lawsuit. In the trial came out this evidence:
As the deer fled, he ran into some dry grass, and the seed fell into the eye of a wild chicken, and the pain of the seed in the eye of the chicken caused it to fly up against a nest of red ants. Alarmed, the red ants flew out to do battle, and in their haste, bit a mongoose. The mongoose ran into a vine of wild fruit and shook several pieces of it on the head of a hermit who sat thinking under a tree. "Why did you, O fruit, fall on my head?" cried the hermit. The fruit answered: "We did not wish to fall; a mongoose ran against our vine and threw us down." And the hermit asked, " O mongoose, why did you throw the fruit?" The mongoose answered: "I did not wish to throw down the fruit, but the red ants bit me, and I ran against the vine." The hermit asked, " O ants, why did you bite the mongoose?" The red ants replied: "The hen flew against our nest and angered us." The hermit asked: " O hen, why did you fly against the red ants' nest?" And the hen replied: "The seed fell into my eyes and hurt me." And the hermit asked, " O seed, why did you fall into the hen's eyes?" And the seed replied: "The deer shook me down." The hermit said unto the deer, "O deer, why did you shake down the seed?" The deer answered: "I did not wish to do it, but the owl called, frightening me, and I ran." "O owl," asked the hermit, "why did you frighten the deer?" The owl replied: "I called, but as I am accustomed to call---the cricket, too, called."
Having heard the evidence, the judge said, "The cricket must replace the crush parts of the fish and make it well," as he, the cricket, had called and frightened the deer. The cricket was smaller and weaker than the owl or the deer, therefore had to bear the penalty.

 STORY;The Washerman and The Donkey

A story is told about washer man who was childless. This prey upon his mind very much and was a permanent cause of unhappiness. One day in the course of his work  he went to the house of the town kazi (or magistrate). He heard the kazi reproaching one of his pupils in this wise: "Not long ago you were a jackass; I made a man of you," etc. The washer-man did not wait to hear the rest. He hastened home with all speed and told his wife that he had made a discovery which they were to lose no time in utilizing. "The kazi, my dear," said the washerman, "can make a man of a donkey. Why should we fret any longer for a child? Let us take our donkey to him and beg of him to transform him." The washerman and his wife, with their donkey, were shortly after this conversation on their way to the kazi.
Their mission being explained with many supplications, the kazi, quick-sighted, and with an eye to business, accepted the charge, and promised to effect the metamorphosis in a year. The washerman on his part promised to give his services free for that period. A year passed in waiting and in happy hopes. On the appointed day the washer man and his companion presented themselves before the kazi. The kazi took them aside and pointed out a strong young man among his pupils. "There," he whispered to the washer man, "is your donkey. You see the change: now persuade him and take him home." The washer man and his wife flew to their newly created son, and with many endearing terms prepared to embrace him and made other affectionate advances. Amazed at this unaccountable conduct of these low people, the lad resisted at first, but as they persisted, he grew furious. After receiving many a cuff from the lad, a happy idea struck the washer man's wife: turning to her husband she said, "Go you and fetch his peg, rope, and grain-bag; perhaps they may remind him of what he was once." The washer man in hot haste went home and fetched them. But it seemed to make matters worse. The washerman held up each of these articles to the young man's view, and said, in the most persuasive tone he could command, "Come home, my son. Do you forget the day you were my donkey? This was the peg to which I would tether you, this your tether rope, and this your food-bag; come to your home!" By this time a jeering crowd had gathered round the young man, and this so infuriated him that he turned to and gave the washer man the soundest thrashing he had ever received in his life. The poor dupe of a washer man---the story says---went home thoroughly convinced that what fate had ordained it was useless to fight against, looking upon his punishment as a just return for his presumption.

In the days when the earth is young and all things are better than they now are when men and women are stronger and of greater beauty and the fruit of the trees is larger and sweeter than that which we now eat, rice, the food of the people is of larger grain.

We drink too much ,spend too recklessly ,laugh too little ,drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life
We've learned to rush, but not to wait we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading?
