He is forever teasing his friends and playing practical jokes on them.As he is going to bed one night his mother tells him to prepare for school the next day andteaches him how to tell the time so he'll know when he needs to get there. But when he wakes up far too early the next day he decides to use the time visiting the neighborhood to see what fun he can have. All of the animals are asleep but he soon finds ways to be silly at their expense. First he finds his elephant friends Billy and Jilly asleep in their hammock and ties their tails together. Next he sees mice sleeping in a den and ties balloons to their tails. And finally the sleeping snakes are put into cardboard boxes.One by one the animals realize the only one who could have done any of these things is "sillyEphan". They are so tired of his silly games they decide to teach him a lesson by being silly themselves. Ephan apologizes for playing practical jokes on them and asks them to let him go to school. The animals agree but insist on hugging him. As they hug him they paint the words "I am silly" on his back. As Ephan rushes to school the animals laugh at him. At first he is happy they have forgiven him until one of the birds calls to him "Hi Silly". He is annoyed that his name is not "Silly" and wonder why they all are looking at his back. He turns around and around to look at his back but he can't see anything.Finally he meets his friend Sid who also greets him with "Hi Silly" and explains what is written on his back. Ephan is shocked but realizes it's the reason everyone was laughing at him. Sid washes the paint away with water and tries to hurry Ephan to school but Ephan knows the time and tells him not to worry because they are right on time.

One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Download or read book The Missing Peace written by Laura Rhodes-Levin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers want to understand that there is life beyond anxiety. Happiness needs to be within their grasp. The Missing Peace will show them how to touch it, feel it, and nurture their natural desires, not those with which society burdens us. Often said but true, people need to learn to love themselves, but the real question is how to love themselves. How can they understand not to take the world and the other anxious people in it personally? They must understand how fear is underneath their anger. They long for acceptance but don't know how to accept themselves. The Missing Peace will give them a roadmap to these vital concepts. Scientifically, anxiety is not a set of pre-wired and uncontrollable buttons. This book communicates how to understand these buttons, who installed them and how to unwire them. It makes people feel better all around. It goes beyond just not feeling anxious. Practically, The Missing Peace will show readers how to cultivate and nurture the core traits mattering most to them. They will re-parent themselves to well-being, vibrant energy, and emotional stability and be shown there is just as much to nurture as there is to nature. It is never too late. After reading this book, the reader will understand their anxiety, learn how to harness it, shift focus to what they love, and live the life they want.

Download or read book The Cowboy and His Elephant written by Malcolm Macpherson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1980s, a female baby elephant was born into a herd that lived on the plains of southern Africa. Her mother has carried her for two years, and normally she would have nursed her for five more. But the close-knit family of wild elephants was to face a predator for which it was no match--humans. In a "cull," her family was slaughtered in a few moments. Only the newborn female's life was spared. Terrified and bewildered the young elephant was transported to America to be sold. There she met the person who was to change her life forever. Bob Norris is a cowboy with an enormous empathy for animals that overwhelms his other emotions. He was raised with a pet bear and as a boy decided to become a real cowboy. He saw his dream come true in Colorado on one of the larger horse-and-cattle ranches in America. Handsome as a movie star, he became the Marlboro Man and appeared on TV and on billboards around the world. But with the passing of years, and with his own family grown up, he felt the need for something that he could not name. When she came into his life by happenstance, the hurt, vulnerable little elephant tapped the fullness of Bob's empathy, and an incredible bond between the most unlikely of friends was forged. Bob adopted the baby orphan elephant--named Amy--and patiently set about helping her recover from the trauma of her ordeal. He had never seen a real African elephant up close, except in zoos. He was a horseman and breeder of champion quarter horses. But through close observation, gentle training, humor, and endless perseverance, Bob gradually coaxed Amy into overcoming her mistrust of humans, and indeed, her fear of the world. The little elephant became a "hand" on Bob's ranch, tending to simple chores, riding the fences, and shadowing Bob on his horse. She developed a winning personality, and a strong character, and became a beloved member of the Norris family and partner to the ranch hands. But Bob knew from the start that the ultimate goal was for Amy to regain her confidence and her independence - even, if it were possible, to go back to the savannahs of Africa. This is the true story of how Amy and Bob came together. No one who reads The Cowboy and His Elephant can fail to be moved by such a simple tale of unlikely love.
