 I read the Story of Princess Hase. A price was married to a princess since the time they were super young. They were happy though. One area that was causing them sadness however was the fact that they had no children over the years. They really wished they had a kid. They wanted to care for the child and grow old with the child. They made a pilgrimage in order to try to get a kid. In their religion, if they go to this pilgrimage, they will have a child. They went to it, and it worked. They had a child, a daughter. The mother of the daughter died when the girl was only 5 years old. The mother told her daughter to be good. She gave her a  messages that it is okay if her father remarries. The prince married again. This time, the woman was awful. The daughter was good to her like her mom said. The emperor wanted the daughter and now her step mom to play a song, and the step mom could not. Thus, she was jealous the daughter was able to. She had a son, but the emperor loved the daughter. She tried to poison her. She accidentally poisoned her own kid. The child died. The daughter had to recite a poem that could save the emperor. The stepmother was very jealous.She asked a servant to kill her. The servant knew she was good, so he protected her. The father found the girl and servants.  The servant was given the highest position. The mother was no longer a problem. He had no heir, so he adopted a guy. This guy married his daughter, and they essentially lived happily ever after. I would use this story but make it more of a backstory that this step mother even killed the first wife could be interesting.

I've been playing the violin for 10 years now, and I still don't know how to play it.  I love to cook food from all across the world.  My favorite cuisines to cook are Thai and Pakistani food.  I am currently working on a new project where I make the national dish from every country once a week. It will take me a couple years to do it. I also love to make all kinds of desserts. I love making brownies, cakes, and pies from scratch. My favorite food is ice cream.  I have two male tabby cats. They look exactly the same, so most people think that I only have one cat. They have completely different

Week 7 Story: Young Lyfe

("Triplets;"  Web Source:  Flickr )  Bibliography:   The Three Brothers  in Stories from Congo by Richard Edward Dennett.  Hi, I am Timmy. It all started when I was 16 years old. I began dating a beautiful and sweet girl, and her name was Maggie. We went to high school together, and it was fun until one day that it wasn't. We were dating for 6 months and were getting out of that honeymoon stage when she said that she wants me to marry her right now. We were 16, and I couldn't give her that. It didn't end there. She was very emotionally draining, so I broke off our relationship.  A couple years later, I was in college, and there was Maggie. Rather than the usual "hello"'s or "it's been so long,"'s Maggie told me she had to tell me something.  "I'm sorry if I was crazy in high school about getting married. I had your baby when we were in high school. They were triplets actually , but don't worry I don't have them anym
