The Lake Isle of Innisfree

´I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

´And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;

´Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee

´And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

´And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

´Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

´There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,

´And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

´I will arise and go now, for always night andday

´I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

´While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

´I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

My Bank Account - Stephen Leacock

My Bank Account Stephen Leacock my bank account When I go into a bank I get nervous. The clerks make me nervous; the little windows at the counters make me nervous the sight of the money makes me nervous; everything makes me nervous. The moment I go through the door of a bank and attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I knew this before I went in, but my salary had been raised to fifty six dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place. For it. So I walked in with dragging feet and looked shyly round at the clerks. I had an idea that a person about to open an account was obliged to consult the manager.

I said, and added solemnly alone. I don’t know why I said ‘alone’. certainly, siad the accountant, and fetch...

The Power of Determination by Burt Dubin

The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned, pot-bellied coal stove. A eight-year-old boy named Glenn Cunningham had the job of coming to school early each day so that he could use kerosene to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived. One cold morning someone mistakenly filled the kerosene container he used with gasoline, and disaster struck. The class and teacher arrived to find the schoolhouse engulfed in flames. Terrified on realizing that Glenn was inside, they rushed in and managed to drag the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital. From his bed, the dreadfully burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die – which was for the best, really – for the terrible fire had devastated the lower half of his b...
