It was a nice evening. In a lovely garden on a small bench Sansala was reading a book, sunken in deep thoughts. “Sansala …….

When did you come?” she asked. “I think ten minutes ago. I called you, mmmm didn’t you hear” she asked. “Really, I didn’t hear you.

Early in the morning Sansala got ready to go to work. She was pretty as well as kindhearted. She never hurted anyone. Sansala lived with her parents and her sister Imalka.              “Imalka ……please bring me the car key” she called her sister.              “Ok akki (sister)” Imalka answered.

He had an idea to give his son Roshan in marriage to her. Fortunately, his son too loved her, and he told his father about this matter. One day Mr. Gamini went to Sansala’s house. And asked about this matter. But her parents refused to agree this matter. However they wanted to ask Sansala regarding this matter.   “Mmmm….. Is it so? Ok don’t worry I’ll ask her” Mr.Gamini said.

The Moon (Poem)

Image
When the big round moon Appears in the silver night sky I was looking the beauty Of the lovely full moon *** I felt very calm, Felt very happy, When it shines its light. The stars around the moon Were twinkling and making the moon lovely More, more and more. *** Suddenly, some black cloud caught my sight Slowly and slowly some black clouds Hid the moon with its shine My heart felt really sad. *** I was wishing in my heart, To see the beauty of the moon again, When I opened my eyes searching the moon, My eyes caught the black clouds floating Across the moon. *** The moon shined again It spread its light And appeared as beautiful as it was On the silver sky. *** When someone bright in the society And when their life succeeds Some dark clouds come and destroy And hide the shine. *** But if no one cares the dark clouds They will leave…. Good heart always gets good things…. But good things never come easily… ***

When the bee reaches the garden, Searching for the best flower, To get honey, hardly finds one, The most beautiful flower, Among the beautiful flowers, Where she grew herself alone, Standing alone. * * * When the bee goes near her, She refused him, One day the bee got an idea, Asked the flower, “Why are you so alone? Why aren’t you with others? Let me accompany you, That I’ll make you the happiest, I just like you the way you are, I like you for being yourself.”   *** The flower replied, “Yes, I am who I am, I like to be alone, I love to make things and to achieve, Therefore, I am happy to be alone.” The bee was surprised, He asked her again, “Why not accompany someone, Who will help you, To achieve your dreams, To make your wishes,” * * * She thought with herself, “Why should I live with
