animated aesop’s fables May 13, 2010

when i was younger, mom used to bring my brothers and i to the library to borrow books. i love reading and Aesop’s Fables had a collection of stories that i like. i like them because of all the animal characters in the various fables. now i like them because of the morals they carry in every story. here’s a website link to an animated version of 4 Aesop’s Fables: http://us.penguingroup.com/static/packages/us/yreaders/aesop/index.html

the site has the following titles from Aesop’s Fables:
1. the tortoise and the hare
2. a lesson for a foolish crow
3. the lion and the mouse
4. a fox and his shadow

i really find the animation interesting and cute. =) suitable for young children… and anyone who’s young at heart.

Happy Mother’s Day May 9, 2010

to all mothers out there… here’s wishing you a very Happy Mother’s Day! =)

here’s a poem i found on the web dedicated to all mothers out there.

Everything Mom

How did you find the energy, Mom
To do all the things you did,
To be teacher, nurse and counselor
To me, when I was a kid.

How did you do it all, Mom,
Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate,
I just can’t comprehend.

I see now it was love, Mom
That made you come whenever I’d call,
Your inexhaustible love, Mom
And I thank you for it all.
