Four Friends

Four Friends

Once upon a time in a small village lived four Brahmins named Satyanand,
Vidhyanand, Dharmanand and Sivanand. They had grown up together to become
good friends. Satyanand, Vidhyanand and Dharmanand were very knowledgeable.
But Sivanand spent most of his time eating and sleeping. He was considered
foolish by everyone.

Once famine struck the village. All the crops failed. Rivers and lakes started to dry
up. The people of the villages started moving to other villages to save their lives.

We also need to move to another place soon or else we will also die like many
others," said Satyanand. They all agreed with him.

But what about Sivanand?" Asked Satyanand.

Do we need him with us? He has no skills or learning. We cannot take him with
us," replied Dharmanand. He will be a burden on us."
How can we leave him behind? He grew up with us," said Vidhyanand. We will
share what ever we earn equally among the four of us."

They all agreed to take Sivanand along with them.

They packed all necessary things and set out for a nearby town. On the way, they
had to cross a forest.

As they were walking through the forest, they came across the bones of an
animal. They became curious and stopped to take a closer look at the bones.

Those are the bones of a lion," said Vidhyanand.

The others agreed.

This is a great opportunity to test our learning," said Satyanand.

I can put the bones together." So saying, he brought the bones together to form
the skeleton of a lion.

Dharmanand said, I can put muscles and tissue on it." Soon a lifeless lion lay
before them.
Summary of No Man Is An Island by John Donne

Article shared by Rashmi Baid

No Man Is An Island by John Donne is a short poem beautifully connected all

the human beings and stating them as one. In this poem the poets speak about
humanity stating that a human being when isolated from others do not thrive.

A human being living alone is like a person living in an isolated island. In order to
be an island, a man would have to be cut off and isolated from the rest of
mankind. Man is born to live his life with others, he cannot grow in isolation.
Donne feels that all mankind is of one author, and is one book. Thus, death of a
man doesnt mean an end of a chapter in the book; it means that chapter is
translated into a better language.

Man is a social animal, we do not see it, but what happens to one person happens
to everyone. Each persons existence affects the existence of another person. Like
when a person is angry, his anger affects his relation with others.

Thus, an existence of a person not only affects himself but it also affects those
living with him. There is no such thing as a wholly isolated individual. Only death
can isolate a person from another, but even in case of death, he person is
remembered by his loved ones and thus he remains alive in their hearts.

Thoughts Of You

Paula Stone
Published: February 2006

Memories of another time still come

To me and fill my mind, with thoughts

Of you when you were young. I lie awake

'Till the morning sun comes creeping

Through my window shade, as I dwell upon

Mistakes I've made. What I would give to

Go back in time and feel your little

Hand in mine. To cherish each fast and

Fleeting day. To hold you close and kiss

Away, each pain that life will have in

Store and try to give you so much more.

You are part and will always be, imbedded in the soul of me. While I'm

Here, I want to say, that I've loved you

Each and every day and when my time on

Earth is gone.

The privilege was mine to have been your Mom.

put life into that lion, it will kill us all," he cried.

Oh you coward! You cant stop me from testing my skills and learning," shouted
an angry Vidhyanand. You are here with us only because I requested the others

Then please let me climb that tree first, said a frightened Sivanand running
towards the nearest tree. Just as Sivanand pulled himself on to the tallest branch
of the tree Vidhyanand brought life into the lion. Getting up with a deafening
roar, the lion attacked and killed the three learned Brahmins.
