L ‘HISTOIRE DE KIM

Viata dupa tragedie

.

http://www.kimfoundation.com J’ai trouvé cette adresse sur un site chrétien roumain: http://dorupope.com/

C’est l’histoire d’une fille. Mon français n’est pas la meilleure, donc je vous invite à lire sur son site. Je copie ici le premier paragraphe:

“La guerre du Viet Nam a donné lieu à bien des tragédies dont certaines sont restées gravées dans notre conscience collective. La photo de cette petite fille courant toute nue sur la route, son corps enveloppé par les flammes du napalm, a changé la façon dont le monde entier voyait la guerre du Viet Nam, sinon toutes les guerres. C’est une photo qui a fait le tour du monde et qui a ultérieurement valu un prix Pulitzer à son auteur. La petite fille qu’on voit sur cette photo, c’est Kim Phuc.” Lire ici

KIM ‘S STORY

Viata dupa tragedie

.

http://www.kimfoundation.com I found this link on a romanian christian site: http://dorupope.com/

This is a story of a girl. My english is not the best, so I just invite you to read it on her site. I will only copy here the first paragraph:

“The Vietnam War gave rise to many tragedies, some more familiar than others. A photograph of a young girl running naked down a road, her skin on fire with napalm, changed the way the world looked at the Vietnam War, and indeed at all wars. That photograph was seen around the world, and later won a Pulitzer Prize. The girl in that photograph is Kim Phuc.” Read here

“GOODMAN ION ROATA AND THE UNION OF THE PRINCIPALITIES” by ION CREANGA #2

( continuing from here )

“Well, good people, I venture to say you’ve got it clear now!”

“Clear, master, as clear as daylight”, most of them aswered. “God speed you in these your good courses!”

“Nay, master, I still haven’t got it clear”, goodman roata answered.

“God help us, goodman Ion, but as far as I can see, you are a trifle thick headed; let us go into the garden and I’ll make you see it better. Goodman Ion, do you see that huge boulder, over there, in my courtyard?”

“That do we, master.”

“GOODMAN ION ROATA AND THE UNION OF THE PRINCIPALITIES” by ION CREANGA #1

HISTORY AND LEGEND IN ROMANIAN; SHORT STORIES AND TALES

GOODMAN ION ROATA AND THE UNION OF THE PRINCIPALITIES

(translated by Ana Cartianu)

In 1857, when excitement about the Union was at boiling point in Jassy, the liberal boyars of moldavia, such as Costache Hurmuzaki, M. Kogalniceanu and others, deemed it right to summon to the Convention some leading men of the villages, one from each other administrative region, so that they too should have a share in carrying out of this splendid and noble national act.

As soon as the peasants got to Jassy, the boyars each contributed their share and had  them beautifully turned out and dresses alike, in white peasant coats and brand-new fur caps. The peasants could scarcely make out what good fortune had come their way. Then, so the report goes, they handed them over to the care of one of the boyars who was to talk to them and make them understand the purpose for wich they had been summoned to Jassy.

THE PINEAPPLE STORY

.

“A pineapple garden, a group of natives, a missionary who fought hard & long for something that God eventually called him to release…. Join Otto Koning as he shares about dealing with surrendering rights and conquering anger in a Dutch New Guinea village.”

It is not only full of adventure and wisdom, but also… funny. I really recommend you to watch it. This story is split in 6 parts, each 10 min long.

A PRAYER… AND A PRAYER… :)

This is a joke I’ve heard some time ago. It’s not just a joke, but there is a deeper meaning beyond its humor:

Two men were praying in a church, staying on their kneels, shoulder to shoulder. They were: a rich man and a poor man.

The rich man says: Lord, help me make this deal with the freighter… Help me win that auction…

The poor man: Lord, help me to buy some bread for my children…

The rich man: Lord, help me make that deal…

The poor man: Lord, help me to go home with some money today, not as I did last days…

The rich man, irritated, to the poor man: You, can’t you see God is busy with me?

The poor man, still addressing to God: Lord, help me feed my children…

The rich man, annoyed, opens his wallet and gives a $100 bill to the poor man: You, take these money and let God see about my problem!
