In the sea there are many islands . In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “Coral Islands”  .

   A coral island is very nice to look at .  It looks like a ring of land with tress ,  grass , and flowers on it . One part of the ring is open to the water .  There is a little round lake inside the island .

   If you look into this lake , you will see beautiful coral . You may think they are flowers.

   If you look at a piece of coral , you will see many little holes in it . In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived . These sea animals make the coral .

   They began to build under the water . Year after year , the coral grew higher and higher .

At last it grew out of the water .

   Then the sea brought to it small trees and something else . After some years , these things changed into earth . Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth . Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island .

   The little seeds grew . In a few years there were plants all over the island .In a few more years there were trees growing there .

   So you see , these islands were built little by little . The workers were very small . Do they not teach us a lesson ? Can you think what the lessons is ?

“All right” he said. “I agree. I will listen to your problem. I will give you honest advice. You will pay me only if I think you can win in court.”

Jack told him about the problem. The lawyer listened carefully. Sometimes he made notes. When Jack finishedthe lawyer sat back in his chair and said“You will win your case. I have no doubt about it. May I take your case to court

Jack stood up and walked towards the door. “Nothank you,” he said. “I will not take it to court.”

My friend Henry, with who I studied in the same class, didn’t like studying at school. That’s because he couldn’t go to high school. He had to return back to his hometown, where his father wished him to learn to manage our small shop. However, the young man was not interesting in it and didn’t do as his father said. He spends a lot of time reading and he also learned how to repair cars. Last month, I received an e-mail from him inviting me take my vacation on his hometown. I started off. Seeing that he was such successful, I said, “Henry, all road lead to Rome. You are great!”
