Boasters end up in trouble : THE MONKEY AND THE DOLPHIN
One day long ago, some sailors set out to sea in their
sailing ship. One of them brought his pet monkey along for the long journey.
When they were far out at sea, a terrible storm
overturned their ship. Everyone fell into the sea, and the monkey was sure that
he would drown. Suddenly a dolphin appeared and picked him up.
They soon reached the island and the monkey came down
from the dolphin's back. The dolphin asked the monkey, "Do you know this
place?"
The monkey replied, "Yes, I do. In fact, the king of
the island is my best friend. Do you know that I am actually a prince?"
Knowing that no one lived on the island, the dolphin
said, "Well, well, so you are a prince! Now you can be a king!"
The monkey asked, "How can I be a king?"
As the dolphin started swimming away, he answered,
"That is easy. As you are the only creature on this island, you will
naturally be the king!"
MORAL: Those who lie and boast may end up in trouble.

Many
European advances during the Middle Ages were made possible by the Moorish occupation
of Spain. The most important was the use of Arabic numerals. The Moors also
brought other discoveries to Europe, which is reflected by the fact that words
such as "algebra", "lute", "orange", and
"magazine" are of Arabic origin. The Moors also introduced to Europe
the game of chess.

The
verb "cleave" has two opposite meanings. It can mean to adhere or to
separate.
