"The Ugly Duckling"

Once upon a time, five eggs began to hatch. Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! out popped five little ducklings. Four were fluffy and cute. One was gray and ugly.

 Today, I read "The ugly duckling." I had known this story, but I thought the environment around myself is so effective. So, I think we must choose the place we are.

This is video of the ugly duckling.

''Martin Luther KING''

'I have a dream,' are some of the most famous words in the history of the United States of America. When Martin Luther King said these words in front of a crowd in Washington in  1963, thousands cheered, and the speech was shown all over the world But less than five years later, he was shot dead. Who was this man? What was his dream? Why did millions of people love him? Why did others hate him?

In 1963 a Baptist minister from Alabama in the South of the United States led a march of 250.000 people to Washington, the nation's capital. There he made a famous speech. 'I have a dream,' he said. He dreamed of the  day when black people and white people would live together in peace.

 Today, I read a book,' Martin Luther KING.'
The book have some part.

1. A man from Alabama
2. Growing up in Atlanta
3. Slavery and the south
4. War in America
5. Learning
6. The Montgomery Bus Boycott
7. Big trouble in Little Rock
8. A new start?
9. The march on Washington
10. This country is sick
11. I'm black and I'm proud
12. Black and White, unite and fight!
13. Death in Memphis
14. Still Dreaming

Though I had known Martin Luther King, I could know him more. I respect him, and I was impressed with Gandhi's words too ,' If you love your enemies, you can beat them.' I don't want to hate anyone too. What do you think about this?
