I'll be thinking about that line all week: 'he remains hungry for days, and died due to hunger.' The sadness is perfect.

Once there lived a king, who was gridy of gold. He loved gold so much that he had a golden palace. 

 One day he was in his garden and suddenly a fairy appeared. She told the king that"anything you want I will grant you. But remember that I cannot take it back."The king said, " Ok, then I want that anything I touch becomes golden."

Remember that I cannot take it back." said the fairy.

"Yes, I am sure".said the king

The fairy granted his wish. The king touched a rose and it became golden. Then he came into his palace. He was hungry and want to eat, as he touched the apple, it also became golden and he was anable to eat. He remains hungry for days, and died due to hunger.

    The three prisoners

    Once there was a clever prisoner who escape ever prison where he was put into. After some days he was put into Alcatraz, the world's most secure prison. He was in the hope of escaping the prison, but was unable to do it. More two prisoners came and got their cells besides the clever prisoner. The three of the prisoners became friends and started planning to escape the prison. The clever prisoner started digging the ventilation hole. That vent was connected to the pipes and then to the terece, which leaded to the out of the prison and after getting through the wire, they inflated the portable boat and sailed to the nearest land. Sailing was not easy but they studed the direction of the waves of the sea and set sail. This is how the three prisoners escape from the world's most secure prison of Alcatraz.

    Honestly, I lean toward this being about how we don't really think about trade-offs when we get what we want. Or maybe I'm missing the point?

    That 'greedy of gold' opening gets me. Like he already had a golden palace but it still wasn't enough. The wish just made it worse.

    I'm wondering about the fairy's warning, 'I cannot take it back.' Do you think he heard it as a threat, or just as part of the magic?

    I would not love you like the Spring, a moist & gentle unfolding. Nor would I love like Summer’s heat, stealing moments in which we meet. I would not love like Autumn’s night, coming swiftly at end of light. Nor would I love like Winter’s snow, covering you above, below. Rather, I would love you like time, endless, & forever, mine.

  • THE CHANGED MIND

    We think, we decide, we understand, we rethink, we change our minds. We regret. The pattern goes the same. And time flies; our trust breaks, we get hurt, and we stop trusting our gut feelings; we lose confidence. After doing the same, we get two results: first, we learn & become strong, and gain experience & second, we get broken, and we develop trust issues.
