Rather than give a full review of last week's cooking
course at Cafe Clock I thought instead I would share the words of
someone much wiser than me. This moving piece was written today by a
six year old Korean student in my class who started learning English
last summer. This was her final piece of writing for the year and it
was completely free choice, the product of which is a heart warming
and thought provoking tale. For effect I have copied this as written.
Three Seeds
Once upon a time there was a great beautiful field
full of flowers named dandelions. All the mother flowers were ready
send their baby dandelions.
One day three dandelion babys told their wish to
their mother. The first one said “My wish is live rich forever.”
The second one said “My wish go for a big trip.” The third one
said “My wish make poor and beautiful people's hearts rich".
The first and second one's dreams didn't came true.
But the third one's dream came true. She sat on a windowsill and
there lived a girl named Irli and a mother named Wali lived there but
they were poor and also nice. Their heart was nice but the just
didn't thought they were rich.
The girl and the mother saw the seed and grow it.
They understand that they are rich even though they are poor.
I would like to take credit for this beautiful piece,
but the credit is all down to a very dedicated and hard working young
girl. It genuinely brought tears to my eyes.
