    There was a moment of silence in the shambles‚ and all the orcs were dead or had fled. Boromir looked around the fellowship: the four hobbits seemed ruffled but fortunately unharmed‚ while Gandalf and that ranger were in a state so disheveled that it was difficult not to laugh.

    [Enter KING HENRY‚ LORD JOHN OF LANCASTER‚ the EARL of WESTMORELAND‚ SIR WALTER BLUNT‚ and others] Henry IV. So shaken as we are‚ so wan with care‚ Find we a time for frighted peace to pant‚ And breathe short-winded accents of new broils To be commenced in strands afar remote. 5 No more the thirsty entrance of this soil Shall daub her lips with her own children’s blood; Nor more shall trenching war channel her fields‚ Nor bruise her flowerets with the armed hoofs Of hostile paces: those opposed

    Caterpillar To Butterfly “ Why do you act like this?” Ming asked Khumba. “Like what?” he replied. “You’re always acting rude and bringing up someone’s flaws.” Ming stated. “I don’t do that. Even if I did‚ why do you care?” he responded with a disgusted facial expression. “I don’t‚ but you should. If you continue to treat people like this it’s going to be hard to make new friends. You might even lose the few you have now.” Ming suggested. “Whatever!”Khumba said‚ slamming his locker aggressively.

    Grendel was in the gabled hall where the warriors slept. The only sound coming from the hall was the deep snores of the knights‚ but soon it would be there cries and lamentation. He strode under the clouds‚ seeking eagerly‚ till he came to the wine-hall‚ the treasure-hall of men seeking Hrothgar’s home. There was fire in his eyes‚ they were as red as Macintosh apples‚ freshly picked. So‚ there I was watching him kill innocent people without a second thought. Of course the ferocious beast had no clue

    It was in Burma‚ a sodden morning of the rains. A sickly light‚ like yellow tinfoil‚ was slanting over the high walls into the jail yard. We were waiting outside the condemned cells‚ a row of sheds fronted with double bars‚ like small animal cages. Each cell measured about ten feet by ten and was quite bare within except for a plank bed and a pot of drinking water. In some of them brown silent men were squatting at the inner bars‚ with their blankets draped round them. These were the condemned

    Montessori calls it an “embryo” because it can be compared to the physical development of the embryo within the womb prior to birth.
