๐Ÿ•ต๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ The Pied Piper

The town of Hamlyn was once full of rats. They ate all the food, troubled sleeping babies, and made a lot of noise. The people had grown tired of the rats but were unable to do anything. Even the cats were not able to kill the rats.

One day, a queer fellow with piercing eyes, came to town. He was called the Pied Piper. He went to the Mayor and asked him, โ€œWhat will you pay me if I free your town of every single rat?โ€ The mayor offered fifty pounds to the Pied Piper.

Happy with the offer, the Pied Piper started playing his pipe. Hearing the shrill, keen note, every rat came out from its hole and started following him. The Pied Piper kept on playing his pipe and the rats followed hirn. The piper walked up to the harbour with millions of rats behind him and led them into the water and waited till every rat had drowned.

Now the town was free of the little devils and the people were very happy.

After all the rats were dead, the Pied Piper returned and asked the Mayor for his money. The Mayor said that he could only give him twenty pounds for such an easy job. Now that the rats were dead, the Mayor thought that there was nothing to worry about. But the Pied Piper wanted to teach him a lesson. This time he played a different tune. Hearing his music, the children came out of their houses. They started following the piper, dancing and shouting. The elders watched in disbelief as the Pied Piper led the children far, far away. The Mayor sent his men to look for the piper and bring the children back but none could find the lost children.

๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒ› The Journey to the Moon

Once upon a time there lived an engine driver. He longed to go for a joy ride to the moon.

And one day, his wish was indeed fulfilled. His train got wings and he flew off to the moon. The driver saw the houses and trees getting smaller as the train soared higher and higher in the sky. โ€œI am going to the moon!โ€ he shouted with joy.

As the whistle blew and the train chugged on the moon, the people of the moon came out to catch a glimpse of this strange object. The driver stopped the train and asked them to board it. Surprised, they mounted the train and the wheels rolled again.

As the train zigzagged from one end of the moon to the other, the people on the moon jumped with joy and clapped their hands in glee.

Suddenly, the driver heard the sound of a bell. He woke up startled and realised that he had been sleeping and his journey to the moon had been just a beautiful dream.

๐Ÿ“’ God moves in a mysterious way




๐Ÿ“–Meaning

โœNote

๐ŸŒŸOrigin
This saying is actually the first line of the poem and hymn "God Moves In A Mysterious Way" by the English poet William Cowper (1731-1800):

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm...

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿฆฐโ˜•๏ธThe Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Seven-year-old Alice was listening to her sister read a story under a tree when she saw a rabbit hurrying by. Curious to see where he was going in such a hurry Alice followed him. The rabbit scurried into a burrow and Alice followed him. Before she knew it she was falling down a long tunnel and found herself in a strange and wonderful place called Wonderland.

Wandering about she came across a tea party in progress. The March Hare and the Mad Hatter were sitting at one end of a long table with a dormouse between them. When they saw Alice they cried, โ€œNo room, no room!โ€ โ€œThereโ€™s plenty of room!โ€ said Alice firmly and sat down at the table.

The Mad Hatter and The March Hare were so rude and asked such stupid riddles and questions that Alice finally got fed up. โ€œThat was the stupidest tea party ever,โ€ thought Alice as she walked away in disgust.

๐Ÿ”˜ Russian warship Moskva 'seriously damaged' as Ukraine claims missile strike (audio + text)

There are conflicting claims about the possible sinking of a key ship in Russia's Black Sea fleet. Moscow claims the missile cruiser Moskva was evacuated because of a fire, but a Ukrainian official says it was hit by a Ukrainian missile strike. Eum Ji-young brings the updates. The governor of the Ukrainian city of Odesa claimed Wednesday that Russian Navy's key warship Moskva was struck by two cruise missiles fired from Ukraine... and has most likely sunk. The Russian defense ministry also said that the ship was damaged, according to state media, but by an explosion of ammunition on board, and said the cause of the blast is being investigated. Russia's defense ministry also said the ship "remains afloat" saying the "main missile armament was not damaged." It added, "the source of the ignition on the cruiser Moskva has been localized." Russian sailors, according to Moscow, were evacuated, but the reports did not mention any casualties. Meanwhile, Russia said it gained full control of the city of Mariupol, where it claimed more than one-thousand Ukrainian soldiers surrendered. "In the city of Mariupol, near the Ilyich Iron and Steel Works, as a result of successful offensives by Russian armed forces and Donetsk People's Republic militia units, 1,026 Ukrainian soldiers of the 36th Marine Brigade voluntarily laid down arms and surrendered." But the Ukrainian armed forces mentioned no such surrender and said the battle in Mariupol is still ongoing. Also, Ukraine's State Border Guard Service said the country has reclaimed territory near the border with Belarus. A Ukrainian state border guard uploaded a video on social media on Wednesday taken while walking past a checkpoint,... approaching the border with an open barrier. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, nearly 200 children have now died due to the war. Ukraine's prosecutor general said Thursday that more than 190 children have died and more than 350 have been wounded. As Western countries look to help, U.S. President Joe Biden has pledged another 800 million U.S. dollars in military assistance to Ukraine. "The president announced and authorized another presidential drawdown of security assistance valued at up to an additional $800 million, tailored to meet urgent Ukrainian needs for today's fight, as Russian forces shift the focus of their ruthless aggression now to eastern Ukraine." He added that the U.S. has now committed more than 3.2 billion dollars in security assistance to Ukraine and continues to work with its allies to provide additional capabilities and utilize all the available tools to support Ukraine's armed forces.

2. If sitting and listening is not your cup of tea, sightseeing in a drift boat makes for an interesting alternative.
3. And if running, dodging and shooting was not your cup of tea, there were car and motorcycle rallies, with dirt tracks and the grand prix.
4. If this is not your cup of tea or if you only have a few items for sale then, of course, they will take your items to their auction rooms, where they will be sold on your behalf.
5. Free verse can be wonderful - but it's just not our cup of tea.
